I think it's relatively safe to say that the Almighty in Way of Kings was a shard. Whether this puts him in a similar situation to Preservation in Hero of Ages isn't clear though, as for instance his power may already have been claimed.

What I'm wondering is... do we think that he and Odium are the only shards in play? Does his power have anything to do with Dalinar's visions, or is he just the counterpart of Odium? (presumably that would make him "Philius" or something...)

Obviously there's a bunch of other questions, but some of them are likely to be answered in future books. (such as what, if anything, his plans were with the Knights Radiant and the Heralds, who together were presumably his answer to the Voidbringers)
