Appearance and Personality
Ruthar is brawny and blue-eyed with a short black beard.[4] His dark slicked hair and burly arms give him an oily look.[5] Despite his high political and military rank, he dresses very informally.[3]
History
Ruthar gained his position as highprince sometime before Gavilar united Alethkar. He was already married to Jayla and had his son Relis by 1145, when he fought on Gavilar's side against Kalanor and Gallam, the latter of whom he killed to gain both Shardblade and Shardplate for Relis.[6]
After Gavilar's assassination and the subsequent swearing of the Vengeance Pact, Ruthar and the other highprinces accompanied King Elhokar to the Shattered Plains. He and the others began to resent Dalinar for his easy access to and influence over the king.[4] Sadeas used this to inflame the other highprinces against Dalinar[7] and succeeded in enticing Ruthar into joining his plots to undermine Dalinar.[8]
As the Alethi went on plateau runs and fought skirmishes with the Parshendi over chasmfiend gemhearts, Ruthar and Roion teamed up on one particular run. Adolin, on Dalinar's suggestion, accompanied them to lend them the power of another Shardbearer as a gesture of friendship, though Ruthar ended up blaming Adolin's and Jakamav's "stunt" for the loss of the gemheart.[9] Sadeas also wanted to team up with Ruthar to use the excursion as an opportunity to scheme with the man,[8] and by the time of Shallan's arrival to the warcamps, Ruthar and Aladar were solidly his allies.[10]
“Give it up, Ruthar. She's too young for you. Though with you involved, I’m sure it would be brief.”
Ruthar balked at Elhokar's restrictions on the warcamps and, in a meeting with all the highprinces and the king, took the lead in vocalizing Sadeas' arguments and trying to persuade the neutral highprinces to join them. He also tried to hoodwink Shallan into accepting his hospitality, but she in turn manipulated Sebarial into accepting her into his household as Sebarial embarrassed Ruthar in front of the group.[5]
