Apariencia y personalidad
Poco se sabe de la apariencia de Bethab, aparte de que es ojos claros. Los colores de su casa son desconocidos.[4]
Jasnah considera que es un zoquete.[5] De hecho, uno de sus movimientos más inteligentes fue casarse con Mishinah por su perspicacia política. Deja que su esposa se encargue de los asuntos más importantes, en lugar de ocuparse de ellos él mismo.[6][1] Bethab y Mishinah tienen una vena un poco astuta, ya que han intentado en diversas ocasiones introducir en contratos con el rey unos términos que les resultaran favorables en la sucesión. Sin embargo, ellos saben que es mejor no intentar ningún engaño cuando Navani está cerca.[7]
Attributes and Abilities
Although his princedom contains the sizable city of Karanak and appears to have an advantageous location where the Deathbend River empties into Mevan Bay, Bethab was not considered a major political player among the highprinces during the War of Reckoning. He is not well-respected, even among his own army, because he usually sends his wife to represent him at important meetings and functions.[1]
Bethab does not maintain a well-organized army, instead preferring to use mercenaries. He shows little regard for the mercenaries, and often leaves the battlefield as soon as a gemheart is captured, making no effort to lead his army back to the warcamps.[8] He owns a large number of chulls.[7]
History
Shattered Plains
Like the other highprinces, Bethab lived in his warcamp on the Shattered Plains during the War of Reckoning. His warcamp was located to the east of the palace, between Hatham and Sebarial's camps.[9]

House Bethab was not closely aligned with House Kholin, although they were more uncooperative than openly antagonistic. When Dalinar wanted to ally with a highprince for a joint plateau assault, Bethab unsurprisingly turned him down by letting his wife give the refusal.[6] He later relented and joined Dalinar on at least one successful plateau run,[10] and also participated in a joint run with Thanadal.[8]
He attended the feast at the Pinnacle after Dalinar's visions became public knowledge.[8]
Urithiru
Bethab moved to the tower city of Urithiru after the Battle of Narak. Bethab appreciated Dalinar's leadership and eventually allied with House Kholin, although he continued to let his wife handle most matters.[1]
By the time Jasnah became Queen of Alethkar, Bethab had fallen into line with most of the other highprinces.[11] He and Mishinah went to Thaylen City to serve as ambassadors there. Bethab proved useful, though not as much as his wife.[12]
