Aladar came into the position of highprince when Highprince [[Yenev]] was defeated in a duel by [[Torol Sadeas]]. After
=== War of Reckoning ===
Aladar was, like the other highprinces of Alethkar, present on the [[Shattered Plains]] to uphold the [[Vengeance Pact]] by fighting in the [[War of Reckoning]] against the [[Parshendi]]. His warcamp lay between those of Torol Sadeas and [[Dalinar Kholin]]. Around the time that [[Kaladin]] arrived on the [[Shattered Plains]],

Like most of the highprinces, Aladar used armored troops to carry bridges on the Plains; however, as Sadeas had more and more success with using [[bridgemen]] as easy targets, Aladar and the others began copying his methods. He did not generally participate personally in the skirmishes, instead directing them from a separate command tent. After the new rules concerning the war on the Shattered Plains, Aladar went on plateau runs as commanded and reluctantly followed some tactical advice given to him by Dalinar. Despite this, Aladar refused Dalinar's offer of alliance again in the interest of keeping the favor of the other highprinces.{{book ref|sa2|8}} He instead allied with Sadeas, albeit resignedly,{{book ref|sa2|29}} and later went on plateau runs he was not scheduled for.▼

He was present during the meeting of the highprinces after [[Szeth]]'s first assassination attempt on Dalinar when [[Shallan]] finally made it to the Shattered Plains. His partnership with Sadeas at the meeting highlighted the stark division among the highprinces: Sadeas, Aladar, and [[Ruthar]] against Dalinar and [[Elhokar]]. Aladar voiced a worry that the Assassin in White would be back at the beginning of the
Sadeas, spiteful that Dalinar was making headway with his plans to rein in the highprinces, released annotated copies of [[Dalinar's visions]] at a later date during one of Elhokar's [[Feasting basin|feasts]]. Though Aladar had previously been one of Dalinar's most forcefully outspoken opponents,{{book ref|sa2|76}} he appeared hesitant during one confrontation with Dalinar, almost as if he were going to say something before deciding not to.{{book ref|sa2|67}}
=== Battle of Narak ===

|I came for myself, not Sadeas. I won’t betray you. Even if Alethkar can’t ever be what you want, we '''can''' at least crush the Parshendi and avenge old Gavilar. It’s just the right thing to do.

Dalinar finalized his plans to take the war to the Parshendi, marching on [[Stormseat]] with the intention of ending the war and discovering [[Urithiru]]. He called for the other highprinces to join him and was astonished to see Aladar arrive as well as Sebarial and [[Roion]]. Aladar confessed to Dalinar that although he didn't share Dalinar's idealistic vision of a unified Alethkar, he realized that he at least wanted it to be possible. He had finally seen through Sadeas' front to the scheming man he really was and was troubled to recognize that Sadeas wanted to control all of his supposed allies. Dalinar, relieved, agreed to place a measure of trust in him and outlined his plan for the expedition.{{book ref|sa2|76}}
On the way towards Narak, Aladar conferred with Roion, [[Renarin]], and [[General Khal]] to finalize tactics for the assault while Dalinar interrogated [[Rlain]].{{book ref|sa2|79}} They continued their plans over the next days, deciding to push all the way to the center of the Shattered Plains to threaten the very homes of the Parshendi.{{book ref|sa2|80}} During the [[Battle of Narak]], Aladar managed to defeat the Parshendi on a plateau. He survived the battle and took refuge in [[Urithiru]] together with the other survivors.
During his time in Urithiru, Aladar was appointed [[Highprince of Information]] and tasked with policing the city.{{book ref|sa3|2}} He was also present during the first attempts by Dalinar to unify [[Roshar]] against the [[voidbringers]].{{book ref|sa3|12}}
