Character from The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson
A Dustbringer Radiant who secretly serves Taravangian and the Diagram. Bonded to a spren but uses her powers to advance the Diagram's agenda rather than the Radiant cause.
Malata is a Knight Radiant of the Order of Dustbringers, bonded to a spren called Spark. Unlike most Radiants who view their bonds as sacred callings, Malata treats hers as a means to power. She secretly serves Taravangian and the Diagram, feeding them intelligence about the Radiant coalition at Urithiru. She represents a disturbing possibility — that not all who bond spren are noble, and that Radiant powers can serve dark purposes. Her presence at Urithiru undermines trust among the nascent Radiant orders and provides Taravangian with critical intelligence about Dalinar's plans.
Alethi woman with a confident, slightly mocking bearing. Wears the uniform of a Knight Radiant but carries herself with an air of someone playing a role rather than living a calling.
