Gavilar Kholin

King Gavilar Kholin

Gavilar Kholin is the King of Alethkar , a nation on Roshar .  He is the brother of Dalinar Kholin and married to Navani Kholin, with whom he has two children, Elhokar and Jasnah.  
Gavilar and Dalinar were born into a provincial branch of the Kholin family. His mother died when he and his brother were young, and his father was absent from his life and spent his time dueling. After their father suffered a permanent head injury in a duel, Gavilar took over a paternal role for his younger brother Dalinar. Gavilar was only fourth dahn, and not considered a serious contender for highprince. He conquered the Kholin princedom, killing some of his relatives and taking the title of highprince for himself. From the start, Gavilar was supported by his brother.  
Gavilar, Sadeas and Dalinar led the war. Gavilar claimed the throne and made alliances; Torol Sadeas dealt with problems; and Dalinar won battles. Gavilar was more inclined for a strategy that would turn the highprinces against each other.
