'''Restares''' is a member of [[Sons of Honor]], possibly [[Meridas Amaram]]'s superior, and likely one of the organization's leaders.{{book ref|sa1|51}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{book ref|sa2|54}} Restares may have originally brought [[Gavilar Kholin]] into the organization.{{book ref|sa3|40}}
+
'''Restares''' is the leader of the [[Sons of Honor]], [[Meridas Amaram]]'s and [[Gavilar Kholin]]'s superior within the organization.{{book ref|sa1|51}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{book ref|sa2|54}}{{book ref|sa3|40}}
   
 
== History ==
Gavilar briefly suspected on the night of his assassination that Restares tried to kill him, but never thought that'd actually happen.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}
 
  +
Restares became the leader of the Sons of Honor, it is unknown if they founded the group himself or took charge of it later. They had Gavilar Kholin enter the group and this allowed him to later help expand the their influence further on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|40}} The [[Sons of Honor]] were primarily founded so as to ensure the return of the [[Herald]]s by restarting the [[True Desolation | Desolations]], Restares and Gavilar Kholin had additional plans for the group and used it to further these goals.{{book ref|sa4|7}}{{book ref|sa4|4}} Upon learning of Gavilars plans Restares responded favorably to them and they began to conspire together, meetings were held where they would meet in person with their final one taking place on the night Gavilar was to die.{{book ref|sa4|prologue}} Upon his death Restares was one of the people Gavilar suspected of ordering his assassination, in actuality however Restares did no such thing.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}
   
  +
After Gavilar's death Restares continued to lead the Sons of Honor and replaced Gavilar with Amaram as their main partner. The majority of their communication took place through [[spanreed]].{{book ref|sa2|88}} After conferring together following the attempted assassination of Amaram by [[Helaran Davar]], it was decided to take the Shards that [[Kaladin]] had won and murder any witnesses to this crime.{{book ref|sa1|51}} During this time Amaram was ordered to investigate the mysteries of [[Urithiru]] and upon seeing how far he had progessed [[Mraize]] feared that he was close to achieving this goal.{{book ref|sa2|54}} Following the [[Battle of Narak]], Amaram wrote to Restares via spanreed that the Sons of Honor were successful in their goal of bringing the [[Voidbringer]]s back to Roshar, with the hopes the [[Herald]]s would also return as well as informing them about the arrival of the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa2|88}}
Restares had a [[spanreed]] to Amaram, which was sometimes carried by Amaram's carriage driver, [[Pama]].{{book ref|sa2|88}} After [[Kaladin]] saved Amaram's life and killed [[Helaran Davar]], Restares advised that Amaram take the [[Shardblade]] and [[Shardplate]], and to kill the witnesses and pretend that Amaram personally won the Shards. The deliberation took hours, but eventually Amaram agreed, thinking it had to be done for the good of [[Alethkar]]. This resulted in Kaladin's enslavement, and the deaths of the last surviving members of his squad, [[Hab]], [[Reesh]], [[Alabet]], and [[Coreb]].{{book ref|sa1|51}}
 
   
[[Mraize]] knew about Restares and referred to the Sons of Honor as Restares's cronies. Upon receiving a page of text from [[Shallan Davar]] about what Amaram knows, Mraize believed the Sons of Honor are also close to the secrets of the [[Shattered Plains]] and [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa2|54}}
+
Following the year after the [[Battle of Thaylen Fields]] the leadership of the Sons of Honor began being targeted and assassinated by the [[Ghostbloods]].{{book ref|sa4|7}} Once Mraize was satisfied that their leadership were eliminated he handed a new mission to [[Shallan Davar]] to hunt down Restares personally in [[Lasting Integrity]].{{book ref|sa4|13}}
   
  +
== Motives ==
After the [[Battle of Narak]], Amaram wrote to Restares via spanreed that the Sons of Honor are successful in their goal of bringing the [[Voidbringer]]s back to Roshar, with the hopes the [[Herald]]s would also return. Amaram informed Restares of the [[Everstorm]] and the Voidbringers' red eyes.{{book ref|sa2|88}}
 
  +
  +
Restares motives are ultimately unknown, it has been stated that they have goals beyond simply restarting the Desolations however what those goals are have never been said,{{book ref|sa4|7}}{{book ref|sa4|4}} it is known that whatever these goals were they were happy to also help Gavilar achieve his own and vice versa.{{book ref|sa4|prologue}} Their goals also run contrary to the Ghostbloods and Mraizes hence their antagonism towards them.{{book ref|sa4|13}}{{book ref|sa4|88}}
  +
  +
== Relationships ==
  +
  +
=== Gavilar Kholin ===
  +
  +
Restares and Gavilar both were close partners in managing the Sons of Honor while he remained alive. Together they began sharing their secretive plans with one another and helping the other to achieve them{{book ref|sa4|7}}{{book ref|sa4|4}} as well as having meetings about their plans in private, this meant that unlike many in the organisation Gavilar was allowed to learn Restares identity.{{book ref|sa4|prologue}} Despite this friendly nature however Restares was still one of the people Gavilar suspected would have attempted to kill him perhaps implying a tension between the two.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}
  +
  +
=== The Ghostbloods ===
  +
  +
The Sons of Honor and the Ghostbloods are hostile to each other with the Ghostbloods attempting to assassinate the Sons of Honor leadership numerous times.{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{book ref|sa4|7}} Their leader [[Thaidakar]] was also the first person Gavilar suspected of ordering his death.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} After Mraize believed the Sons of Honor destroyed he ordered Shallan Davar to go on and assassinate Restares, as well as this he showed a personal deep dislike and hatred aimed towards him.{{book ref|sa4|88}}
  +
  +
=== The Skybreakers ===
  +
  +
The relationship between the Skybreakers and Restares is complicated to decipher, it is notable that one of their members attempted to assassinate Amaram however Mraize himself was confused as to why exactly they would do such a thing and suggested one of their members may have simply gone rogue.{{book ref|sa1|51}} Besides this strike there is no evidence of the two groups attacking each other and no skybreaker has ever shown interest in killing Restares.
  +
  +
== Trivia ==
  +
  +
Restares at some stage became aware of the [[Cosmere]] and has some knowledge on it, although to what extent is unknown.{{wob ref|14162}}
  +
