Notum is a tall honorspren who is dressed in a tight, sharp but outdated naval uniform that is a part of his substance.{{book ref|sa3|108}} Notum also has a beard, with a shaved chin and a thin mustache that connects to a thin line of hair that runs up his cheeks and connects to his sideburns. Like all honorspren, Notum stands with an imperious bearing, and like all honorspren glows a soft blue-white color.
Notum was born after the [[Recreance]], four generations after the Stormfather was moved to recreate the honorspren.{{book ref|sa3|108}} At some point in his past, he swore an oath to Honor and the truths that the honorspren follow. Notum spent at least some time in the honorspren capital, [[Lasting Integrity]], doing the [[Stormfather]]'s bidding, during which time he got to know Sylphrena{{book ref|sa3|110}} He also became the captain of ''Honor's Path''. In early 1174, Notum and his crew took port in [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|102}} After a disturbance in the city, the ship was preparing to flee, but after [[Sylphrena]] called out to his ship, revealing her identity, he took her and her companions aboard the ship. Notum initially confined the Radiants and their spren to their quarters.{{book ref|sa3|108}} However after a week's travel he released all of them but Syl, because he claimed that it was dishonorable to hold people against their will who are not prisoners. He kept Syl in captivity though, intending to deliver her to the honorspren capital of [[Lasting Integrity]]. Upon her release to the deck, Notum gave Shallan permission to bring the Cognitive aspect beads on the deck and practice visualizing them. He briefly explained to her how the beads work in Shadesmar.
{{sidequote
| I’m no [[highspren]]. I can see that the variety of humankind is what gives you strength. Your ability to change your minds, to go against what you once thought, can be a great advantage. But your bond is dangerous, without Honor. There will not be enough checks upon your power—you risk disaster.
| Notum's thoughts on the Nahel bond{{book ref|sa3|108}}

Days later, Notum attempted to remove Kaladin from the upper deck of his ship.{{book ref|sa3|108}} Kaladin again tried to convince him to release Syl from her quarters. Notum threatened to lock Kaladin up again or throw him overboard. Notum explains to Kaladin that he considers Kaldin's relationship with Syl to be inappropriate and dangerous. He also explains to Kaladin that Syl is one of the Stormfather's first children, and the only honorspren survivor of the Recreance, which is why the Stormfather is so protective of her. Notum also believes that the Nahel bond is dangerous without Honor and that Kaladin and Syl should separate. Kaladin tries again to convince Notum to free Syl, and he walked away but allowed Kaladin to remain on deck. When [[windspren]] take interest in Kaladin, Notum watched them and exclaims that he he has never seen them himself before. Kaladin used this opportunity to again ask Notum to help them reach [[Dalinar Kholin]] in time, explaining that he has sworn an oath to protect. Notum was shocked to hear that Dalinar had bonded the Stormfather and agreed to consider helping them. Shortly afterward, a member of the crew spotted six [[Fused]] in pursuit of the ship.
