The Monastery Madman
A dark-skinned, hulking man with the build of a soldier or laborer, kept in a darkened cell at the back of Dalinar's warcamp monastery. He sits slumped on his bed and recites the same litany — that the Return is at hand, that preparation must begin, that knowledge has been lost — and answers only one of Shallan's questions: he names himself Talenel'Elin, the one men call Stonesinew. SA:WoR:Ch 63
