'''Battar''' is one of the ten [[Herald]]s of the [[Almighty]] on [[Roshar]]. She is the patron of the [[Order of Elsecallers]]. [[Taravangian]] believes that she currently resides in [[Kharbranth]] as an [[ardent]] under the assumed name of '''Dova'''.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}{{book ref|sa3|121}}

== History ==▼
Battar was born on [[Ashyn]], and, like many people, escaped to [[Roshar]] when her homeworld was destroyed in a [[Surge]]-induced catastrophe.{{wob ref|11945}} She was a figure of some importance during that time, and when the [[Desolation]]s came and it became clear that the [[Fused]] would keep coming, she was made a [[Herald]] by [[Honor]]. From then on out, she would participate in each of the wars, and between them, she would travel to [[Braize]], when she'd be captured and tortured by the [[Voidbringer]]s, in a bid to get at least one Herald to return and, with it, kick off a new Desolation.{{book ref|sa3|38}}▼
Eventually, she and the other Heralds grew exhausted with this endless cycle of war and torture. When [[Ishar]] suggested that one person might be enough to hold the [[Oathpact]], she and the others abandoned [[Taln]] to his fate, leaving their [[Honorblade]]s behind. From then on out, they hid among the human populace.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} Most of her actions in the intervening four and a half millennia are unknown.▼
: ''Note: the following section assumes that Battar is Dova, which Taravangian claims, but which isn't confirmed by more reliable sources.''▼
As Dova, she supposedly approached Taravangian and warned him of a coming [[Desolation]], which prompted him to seek out [[Szeth]] after King [[Gavilar]]'s assassination.{{book ref|sa3|121}} She has since been assisting the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]]. Sometime prior to Taravangian's seizing of the throne of [[Jah Keved]], she reported that the frequency of [[Death Rattle]]s had been declining further, hinting at [[Moelach]]'s movement.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} She was later assigned with writing an anonymous essay revealing [[Dalinar]] and [[Elhokar]]'s decision to make the former a highking, to undermine Dalinar's authority along with the revelations presented in the translated [[Eila Stele]].{{book ref|sa3|107}}▼

She seems to be fairly knowledgable, being ascribed the attribute of Wise, and noticing signs of an upcoming Desolation years before the [[Battle of Narak]].{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}}{{book ref|sa3|121}}
