Dalar
- Supporting
- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 75
Dalar has the spare, rangy look of someone accustomed to long watches and harder work, with a hand marked by the absence of two fingers. There is a quiet practicality to him, the sort of soldier who seems more at home on duty than in the telling of his own story.

Dalar appears briefly as a lanky, three-fingered sergeant among the reserves. The book offers no further account of his history or fate, leaving him as one of the many soldiers whose lives make up the ranks around the central action.
Description
Dalar is lanky and lean, with a sergeant’s practical bearing. His most distinctive feature is one hand, which has only three fingers. The text gives no details of his hair, eyes, facial features, coloring, or specific clothing, so these remain unspecified; his overall impression is that of a working soldier in the reserves.
