+ | When Kaladin and Elhokar stormed the Kholinar Palace and found Aesudan in the royal chambers, Elhokar spoke with Aesudan while Kaladin went into the other room to look for Gavinor. Instead of playing with friends, as his mother had stated, Gavinor was being tormented by spren, so Kaladin summoned a Syldagger and killed one of the spren. Elhokar and Aesudan's conversation escalated to a full-scale argument, with Kaladin being able to hear every word they said from the other room. Kaladin tried to pick up Gavinor, but he screamed and scrambled away from Kaladin. Elhokar ran over and comforted his son. It is after this that Aesudan revealed that she was allied with [[Yelig-nar]] and [[Ashertmarn]]. Elhokar whispered something to his son, which made the boy stop crying and allowed his father to pick him up.{{book ref|sa3|84}} |

||
+ | Aesudan Kholin is the mother of Gavinor Kholin. Not much is known about their relationship, apart from the fact that after Aesudan fell under the influence of some of the Unmade (namely [[Ashertmarn|Ashertmarn]] and [[Yelig-nar|Yelig-nar]]), her son grew scared of her and most other people.{{book ref|sa3|84}} |

|
+ | === Navani Kholin === |
||
− | It's unknown how Gavinor used to feel about his mother. After Aesudan fell under the influence of [[Ashertmarn]] and [[Yelig-nar]], he grew scared of her and most other people.{{book ref|sa3|84}} That time left him timid, quiet and easily-scared, and it took over a year for him to become excitable and sociable again. He does not seem to feel as strongly about his mother's death as he does about his father's, though this might be because of the different manner in which she died.{{book ref|sa4|16}} He even thought she was evil until Dalinar told him that she was controlled by evil people, and that she loved him.{{book ref|sa4|54}} |
||
+ | Navani Kholin is the grandmother of Gavinor Kholin. Not much is known about their relationship, however it appears that Navani visits Gavinor in Urithiru and that they enjoy each other's company. While it seems that Navani does not have much time to spend with little Gavinor, both of them enjoy each other's company, and Navani is very fond of the boy. |

− | After Gavinor arrives in Urithiru, the rest of his family, including [[Adolin]], [[Dalinar]] and [[Navani]], take care of him; Adolin teaches him horse-riding, Dalinar trains him in swordsmanship, while Navani tries to spend time with him whenever she can.{{book ref|sa4|i|7}} While it seems that doesn't happen very often, both of them enjoy each other's company, and Navani is very fond of the boy.{{book ref|sa4|16}} |

However, it is apparent that Drehy and/or Skar were able to convince Gavinor to come with them, and after they have sacrificed so much to protect Gavinor and the rest of their band, it is likely that Gavinor trusts Drehy and/or Skar.{{book ref|sa3|122}} |

− | Gavinor's happiness frightens Szeth because he thinks he shouldn't be around the prince, not to mention guarding him, as he's mentally unstable. However he can't bring himself to ask Dalinar not to. Gavinor, on the other hand, doesn't seem to fear Szeth, and even smiles and wriggles his wooden sword infront of Szeth.{{book ref|sa4|i|7}} |
