Kdralk is the only known son of Queen Fen of Thaylenah and her consort, Kmakl.[1] As Thaylenah is an elective monarchy, he is not the country's prince.[2]
History
Kdralk was present when Dalinar Kholin visits Thaylen City for the first time. He was a member of a group of young Thaylen nobles who were highly critical of the alliance with Urithiru, prompting Dalinar to goad him into issuing the challenge to the Blackthorn. After Kdralk managed to land a strike, Dalinar used stormlight to heal himself, sending the younger man into shock. This changed Kdralk's attitude, and he began to almost hero-worship Dalinar, even taking his bloodied shirt.[2]
He later came with his mother to Urithiru, and was an active participant in the multiple strategy meetings held there.[3] After Dalinar suggested sending Alethi battalions to Thaylen City, Kdralk was the one to point out that naval warfare works by different rules than a land war.[4] When Dalinar visited the city later to examine its defenses, he was part of the group that was showing him around. During the subsequent meeting, he made a point of sitting next to Renarin.[3]
During the Battle of Thaylen Field, Kdralk took part in the fighting. After Adolin managed to return to the Physical Realm, he met with him, and together they pushed onward to aid Fen and Kmakl in a different part of the city. After they manage to join them, Fen send Kdralk to recover the Shardblade of a fallen Thaylen Shardbearer, Estnatil, who had died when a Thunderclast had broken through the wall. He was additionally told by Adolin to try and hold the city's Low Ward against Odium's forces.[1]
His ultimate fate isn't specified; however, as Fen wasn't seen grieving after the battle, it's highly likely he survived.[5]
