In the Vorin tradition he is referred to as '''Ishi''', and known as the Herald of Luck, or Binder of Gods. He is associated with the Divine Attributes of Pious and Guiding.
Ishar was the founder of the Oathpact, and the key guiding force behind the formation of the [[Knights Radiant]], believing that laws and organization were necessary for humans controlling Surges lest they cause untold damage and destroy Roshar, just as they had destroyed their prior world.{{epigraph ref|sa2|42}}
Like all heralds, Ishar's name is commonly used as an expletive.{{book ref|sa2|5}}

=== Herald of the Almighty ===
Ishar's history prior to becoming a Herald is unknown. After humanity began to lose its fight against Odium and his immortal [[Fused]], Ishar and nine companions asked Honor for the ability to seal the Voidbringers on Braize. Honor agreed, the [[Oathpact]] was founded, and Ishar and his nine companions became Heralds of the Almighty and were given their Honorblades. Ishar was tortured with the rest of the Heralds between every Desolation until one of them broke. When that happened,
At Aharietiam, Ishar and the other Heralds save for Talenel, who was the only one who had returned to Damnation, decided that they could no longer withstand the torture they faced in between desolations. Ishar theorized that Talenel's presence in Damnation would be enough for the Oathpact to hold, and they agreed to permanently abandon their pledge, leaving Taln to suffer alone.

Nale has been in regular communication with Ishar in regards to current events.{{book ref|sa2.5|9}} It was at Ishar's behest that Nale began seeking out and murdering surgebinders, believing this to be the only way to prevent a new desolation. Once the Everstorm arrived, Nale again sought out Ishar, after which he decided to abandon Honor and fight for the Parsh instead.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}}
Although Nale and Ash both believe that Ishar is the only Herald to have survived the Desolations with his mind intact, the Stormfather has said that Ishar is also insane, and seeks his own death and that of every man.
