'''Shallan Davar''', also known as '''Veil''', is a [[lighteyed]] [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]] of the [[Knights Radiant]] from [[Jah Keved]]. Shallan is an emerging scholar whose greatest achievement is the discovery of the legendary city [[Urithiru]]. She is also renown for her extraordinary talent of accurately reproducing even fleeting scenes with photographic accuracy.
Hailing from a mid-level noble house in Jah Keved, Shallan lives a sheltered life on her father's estate until the age of seventeen, when she leaves to seek an apprenticeship under Princess [[Jasnah Kholin]] as a scholar. While as an apprentice to Jasnah Kholin, she becomes the causal betrothed of Jasnah's cousin, Prince [[Adolin Kholin]]. She also learns of and shares in Jasnah's quest to stop the mysterious and calamitous [[Voidbringers]].
Ever since childhood, Shallan has shared a bond with the [[Cryptic]] [[Pattern]]. This bond allows Shallan to manifest Pattern as a [[Shardblade]], a skill she has possessed ever since she was a child, and to access her powers as a [[Surgebinder]]. Eventually, during the [[Battle of Narak]], this bond allows her to become one of the first two new members of the Knights Radiant in centuries, along with [[Kaladin]]. Their public revelation serves as the catalyst for the re-founding of the Knights Radiant.
