Aladar

Known facts

first-highprince-to-obey-paired-runsAladar is the first highprince to honour Dalinar's new pairing rotation, showing up to a plateau he had taken point on and accepting Dalinar's late support; Roion, assigned the same target, does not. He thanks Dalinar for his tactical read of the Parshendi retreat but refuses to follow him politically, citing distrust of the other highprinces rather than of Dalinar himself.SA:WoR:Ch 8
breaks-with-sadeas-to-join-dalinars-expeditionOnce one of Sadeas's loudest supporters in the faction against Dalinar, Aladar marches his army onto the Plains of his own accord — confessing to Dalinar that he had been arguing to convince himself, and that Sadeas would make slaves of all the highprinces given time.SA:WoR:Ch 76
