Personality[]
He is a brutal and cruel man who regularly beats his children.[3]
History[]
During the war in Emul, Ruthar arrives there with Dalinar but is not allowed to be engaged in battle panning. He is indignant to see Jasnah giving Mink advice regarding battle planning because traditionally, war was men's art. Provoked by Wit, he engages in battle with Jasnah and she stabbes him with Wit's sword. Renarin heals him. Jasnah forfeits him of his title, passing it to his elder son.[3]
