—Renarin Kholin[2]

Renarin Kholin is a lighteyes of the Alethi House Kholin on Roshar. He is the second son of Dalinar, and the younger brother of Adolin. This makes him the nephew to Gavilar and Navani and cousin to Elhokar and Jasnah. This makes him second in line for the princedom of House Kholin, after Adolin as primary heir.[3]

Appearance and Personality

While very little of his appearance is explicitly described, it is assumed that he bears a physical resemblance to Adolin. His hair color differs somehow from Adolin's blonde-and-black, but the specific difference is unclear.[4] He is also distinguished in the fact that he wears spectacles. Like all officers in the Kholin army, Renarin wears his uniform while out in public, though because of his physical weakness, his uniform has never seen battle.[5]

Renarin is soft-spoken and thoughtful, and tends to pause and consider responses before giving them. This can occasionally make him seem calculating or unnerving to those with whom he speaks, though those close to him know him to be otherwise.[1] He is shown to be non-confrontational, such as his attempts to avoid Wit's mockery through silence and his attempts to keep Adolin from starting fights. Despite his subdued personality, Renarin shows courage and a desire to be useful, even in situations where he does not have experience or extensive training, such as riding out to help when a chasmfiend attacks despite great risk to himself.[6] Renarin shows an inquisitive streak as well, especially in regards to fabrials.[7] On multiple occasions he inspects fabrials around him and asks questions about their functions. Despite this, he is not interested in joining the ardentia to become an engineer.[8]

Character Relationships

Renarin is very close to Adolin, and respects him greatly. The brothers show a high level of trust and friendship. Renarin also has a very strong relationship with his father, and he wishes to be a son of whom Dalinar can be proud. He shows a high level of respect and obedience to his father's wishes, and occasionally acts as a mediator should his brother and father have a disagreement.

Outside of his family, Renarin is not shown to have many relationships, however the King's Wit has taken particular note of him. Wit teases Renarin whenever they meet, though it is good-natured, and Wit tells Dalinar that he teases Renarin to try to help him overcome some of his nervousness and shyness.

Attributes and Abilities

Renarin has a "blood weakness" which prevents him participating in activities of great physical stress, including combat. The weakness affects him in episodes, during which he grows pale and his limbs go weak, to the point of trembling or possible collapse.[7] These symptoms may indicate that the fits are severe anxiety attacks or possibly a form of epilepsy.

As of the end of The Way of Kings, it can be assumed that Renarin now possesses Dalinar's Shardplate, though he has yet to be seen receiving it.[3] Dalinar assumes that with Shardplate, Renarin's blood weakness will not hinder him or be a danger in combat.[2] In Words of Radiance, he gains a Shardblade to go with his Plate after Adolin begins dueling once more.

Trivia

  • Renarin is on the autism spectrum, though only 'slightly.'[9]
  • Renarin "sees a spren that nobody else sees."[10]
