}}{{for|Perel|the field commander under [[Adolin]] during the [[Battle of Narak]]}}
'''Vedekar Perel''' is a [[lighteyed]] [[Alethi]] officer in the [[Sebarial]] army on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|9}} He moves to [[Urithiru]] after the [[Battle of Narak]] and is murdered by [[Re-Shephir]].{{book ref|sa3|29}}
'''Vedekar Perel''' is a [[Sebarial]] officer and victim of [[Re-Shephir]]. He was killed by stabbing through the eye, copying the Sadeas murder.{{book ref|sa3|9}}{{book ref|sa3|13}} His physical appearance bears some similarities to [[Highprince]] [[Torol Sadeas]], for instance a similar girth and certain likeness of facial features. At the time of his murder, he was traversing the passageways in [[Urithiru]] alone, just like Sadeas was when he encountered [[Adolin|his murderer]].
 
== Appearance and personality ==
He has bulbous features.{{book ref|sa3|27}} His build is similar to that of [[Torol Sadeas]],{{book ref|sa3|27}} who is described as "stout".{{book ref|sa2|37}}
 
He is quiet and well-liked.{{book ref|sa3|15}} Although he is in the military, he is known as an administrator and not a soldier.{{book ref|sa3|15}} He is not a particularly prominent member of the Sebarial army, as he is not known to either [[Shallan]] or [[Adolin]] before he is murdered.{{book ref|sa3|9}}
 
== History ==
Perel presumably lived at the [[Shattered Plains]] during the [[War of Reckoning]], as he is present in Urithiru shortly after the [[Oathgate]] at [[Stormseat]] is activated.
 
Not long after the move to Urithiru, his body is discovered by a scouting party that includes several members of [[Bridge Four]].{{book ref|sa3|9}} He is found in a bathing chamber in a remote part of the second level of Urithiru,{{book ref|sa3|9}} close to where the corpse of Torol Sadeas was found a few days earlier.{{book ref|sa3|15}} Perel's corpse is found with a bloodied face, positioned in the exact same way that Sadeas was found.{{book ref|sa3|9}} He was stabbed through the eye, also paralleling Sadeas, and his clothing is disheveled and shows signs of a struggle.{{book ref|sa3|9}} Several people (including [[Navani]] and Shallan) assume that the same person killed both men.{{book ref|sa3|9}}{{book ref|sa3|15}}
 
In the absence of [[Niter]] and [[Malan]], [[Dalinar]] assigns Adolin to oversee the investigation of the murders.{{book ref|sa3|9}} Adolin enlists [[May Aladar]] and others to interview Perel's family and friends,{{book ref|sa3|13}} but is unable to find any connection between the two victims.{{book ref|sa3|15}} After a series of other copycat murders, Shallan reviews her sketches and comes to the realization that a twisted spren killed Perel because of his physical resemblance to Sadeas.{{book ref|sa3|27}} This leads to a confrontation between Shallan and the [[Unmade]] known as [[Re-Shephir]].{{book ref|sa3|27}} Shallan realizes that Re-Shephir has been trying to gain a better understanding of human behavior by mimicking their violence.{{book ref|sa3|32}}
