'''Dieno enne Calah''', often known as '''the Mink''', is a general in command of a group of soldiers and refugees at the [[Alethkar|Alethi]]-[[Herdaz]]ian border after the initial [[singer]] occupation of Alethkar.
== Appearance and Personality ==
The general is a middle-aged, darkeyed Herdazian man. He has brown skin and a touch of grey in his thin mustache. He is described (albeit in unflattering terms and by an adversary) as having a too-wide smile, a flat nose, and a missing tooth. He has a lean build but possesses a power to it. He has scars around his wrist that results from manacles.{{book ref|sa4|1}}
He talks in a straightforward manner, not afraid of pointing out truths.{{book ref|sa4|3}} But he is also quick to assess the situation and his honesty generally won't offend people.{{book ref|sa4|17}} He is easygoing with his soldiers and officers, and enjoys sneaking away in unexpected circumstances.{{book ref|sa4|2}} He has a habit of plotting escape routes whenever he enters a space.{{book ref|sa4|16}}
== Attributes and abilities ==
He is an excellent battlefield general. He defended Herdaz for one year against the singers' invasion, despite the lack of allies and resources.{{book ref|sa4|17}} He takes over most of the actual field commanding from [[Dalinar]] after joining the coalition,{{book ref|sa4|47}} and successfully reclaimed [[Emul]].
He is an escape artist who is fond of testing his skills against the best manacles that his officers can find. He is said to have escaped under impossible circumstances.
He is not afraid of heights.{{book ref|sa4|47}}
== History ==
At some point in his life, the general was chained at a beach somewhere near the Alethi-Herdazian border where an enormous [[greatshell]] nicknamed "the hog" resides. He was able to unshackle himself in under a minute and escape being eaten by the creature. It is unclear whether he was there by choice to test his escaping skills or whether he was a prisoner condemned to be fed to the hog.{{cite|some interlude perhaps?}}
His son and wife were killed in a war prior to the Everstorm, likely a war with Alethekar.{{book ref|sa4|16}}
Some time after the singer occupation of Alethkar began, the general gained command over a group of soldiers and refugees at that same area of the border. ▼
At one point, the soldiers in the general's company catch [[Sheler]], an Alethi soldier, harassing and stealing from the local populace. As punishment, the general gives Sheler three options: death by the sword (doled out by the women he harassed), having his knees smashed with a hammer and left for the [[highstorm]], or wrestling "the hog."{{book ref|sa3|i|10}}
