Like most of the Heralds, Ishar was born prior to humanitymankind's arrival on [[Roshar]], either before or during the catastrophe that forced the population of [[Ashyn]] to flee there.{{wob ref|11945}} When the relations with the native Rosharan [[singer]]s broke down and the [[Fused]] started to appear, Ishar, along with nine other people, was raised to a Herald by [[Honor]], creating the [[Oathpact]].{{book ref|sa3|38}} Ishar's part in the Oathpact appears to have been larger than that of the other Heralds, as he's sometimesis called its founder.{{book ref|sa3|64}}
 
The Oathpact demanded that to stop the [[Desolation]]s, the Heralds had to travel to [[Braize]] after each one ended. This led to them being tortured until at least one broke, sending them all -- and a Desolation -- back to Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|38}} It was during one of those cycles that [[Surgebinder]]s began appearing. Ishar was instrumental in transforming this scattered group into the [[Knights Radiant]], although what precisely he used, other than threats of death and destruction upon those who wouldn't obey, is unknown.{{epigraph ref|sa2|42}} During that time, he also sought a way to preserve information between the Desolations.{{book ref|sa3|47}}
 
Eventually, however, the Heralds had had enough of thetheir constantendless sufferingtorture. After a Desolation wherein which only [[Taln]] died in the course of battle, Ishar suggested that one person may be enough to keep the following Desolations at bay. And so, the nine agreed to abandon the Oathpact, leaving Taln to suffer alone for over four and a half thousand years.{{book ref|sa1|prelude}}
