Hanavanar
Hanavanar is a rather clever man, smart enough to realize that he could be a potential target for Szeth
== History ==
▲Hanavanar is on fairly good terms with the rulers of [[Alethkar]], good enough that Shallan believed that if her theft of [[Jasnah]]'s [[Soulcaster]] was discovered, he would have turned [[House Davar]] over to the Alethi for execution.{{book ref|twok|29}}
King Hanavanar spent years of his reign setting his highprinces against each other.{{book ref|sa4|19}} He bonded a [[Shardblade]] secretly at some point, and although he never admitted to it, some rumors of his Blade leaked out. When his highprinces began dying at [[Szeth]]'s hands, he realized he might be the assassin's next target and devised a trap for him at one of his feasts.{{book ref|sa1|i|9}}
During the feast, Hanavanar hid two [[Shardbearer]]s under his table, counting on them plus his own Blade to be enough to defeat Szeth. He also outfitted dozens of his soldiers with [[half-shard]]s, but Szeth forewent his [[Honorblade]] for a while and used the martial art of [[kammar]] to incapacitate the soldiers in various ways. Hanavanar dodged a table knife that was [[Lashing|Lashed]] towards him, then stood his ground behind his Shardbearers. He finally ran from Szeth after his Shardbearers fell, but Szeth pursued him, beat down his [[half-shard]] shield, and killed him.{{book ref|sa1|i|9}}
▲Hanavanar wears a square, brown, beard, and a prominent nose.{{book ref|twok|i|9}} A thick man, he has a wide waist and shoulders.
Following King Hanavanar's death, the [[lighteyes]] of [[Jah Keved]] began fighting a succession war until [[Valam]] took the throne.{{book ref|sa2|31}}{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} His death also inadvertently contributed to the formation of the [[coalition of monarchs]] with [[Taravangian]], who was willing to work with [[Dalinar]], as Jah Keved's king.{{book ref|sa4|19}}
▲== Personality ==
▲Hanavanar is a rather clever man, smart enough to realize that he could be a potential target for Szeth, after three of the Veden highprinces are murdered. He is also wily enough to keep his [[Shardblade]] a secret, although some rumors manage to get out. However, he severely underestimates Szeth's abilities, arrogantly assuming that he, two [[Shardbearer]]s, and guards wielding [[half-shard]]s are enough to defeat Szeth. He also grows frustrated easily, swearing at his men when they fail to kill Szeth quickly. Hanavanar also seems not to value the lives of his subjects and peers above his own; he sets a trap for an assassin known for committing massacres during a dinner party.
