Like most of the Heralds, Ishar was born prior to mankind's arrival on [[Roshar]], and was the first to be tricked by Odium into experimenting with the Surges that eventually forced the population of [[Ashyn]] to flee to Roshar. He was also the first human on Ashyn to discover how to [[worldhop]], enabling humanity to leave the planet when they needed to flee.{{wob ref|11945}}{{book ref|sa4|111}} When 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 is 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}}
