{{image|Lightsong and Llarimar by Marie Seeberger.jpg|side=left|width=250px|With Lightsong}}
===Pre-Warbreaker===
Llarimar had served as a priest to the Returned [[Kindwinds the Honest]],{{book ref|wb|54}}, but he grew disillusioned with his gods as he spent years exposed to their venality and corruption. However while on a family boating excursion his boat was caught in a storm. His daughter was thrown from the deck to certain death, but was rescued by his brother who leaped into the sea and fastened his own lifeline to her instead. When following his sacrifice, his brother was subsequently resurrected as one of the Returned, his faith was restored and he became Lightsong's high priest. He was so highly trusted that he was one of the few to whom Lightsong entrusted his [[Lifeless]] command phrase for a quarter of Hallandren's armies.{{book ref|wb|47}}

The brother and High Priest of [[Lightsong]].
 
He is the brother and high priest of Lightsong and the father of Tatara. Llarimar loves and respects his brother, who died saving Tatara. Before Lightsong's advent, he was having a crisis of faith; witnessing Lightsong's return restores his faith and lets him take irreverent quips and teasing demeanor with a respectful patience. He is always willing to handle Lightsong's doubts about the theology of the Cult of the Returned, and discuss theology to help Lightsong through whatever questions might be worrying him. Lightsong, in turn, respects his patient temperament and considers him the perfect high priest, though Lightsong feels Llarimar deserves a better god.{{book ref|wb|18}}
 
His interactions with other people are limited, but he is kind to Siri on the rare occasions they spoke.
