+ | Idrin was assigned by Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]] to serve as the head of King [[Elhokar Kholin]]'s guard.{{book ref|sa2|22}} He was a trusted guardsman, allowed to sit in on private meetings. After the [[Battle of the Tower]] in 1173, Idrin became discontent with guarding the king. He wished to be on the [[Shattered Plains]], fighting the [[Parshendi]] and proving that the [[Kholin]] army was still strong, even after their betrayal by Highprince [[Torol Sadeas]]. Dalinar began to work [[Kaladin]] and his men into the guard rotation on the king, hoping to eventually put [[Bridge Four]] in charge of guarding the king.{{book ref|sa2|5}} Idrin met Kaladin a number of times while Kaladin was guarding Dalinar.{{book ref|sa2|22}} |
Idrin was guarding the king when Elhokar nearly fell hundreds of feet by leaning on a balcony railing that had been weakened in an attempt to assassinate the king.{{book ref|sa2|23}} Elhokar was furious at Idrin, claiming that it would not have happened if Kaladin had been guarding him. Idrin was angered by the king's words and left the room in a rage. In response to this assassination attempt, Dalinar reassigned Idrin to a new post in the army, so that Elhokar's anger would be assuaged. However, Dalinar privately felt that Idrin was not at fault for failing to prevent the assassination attempt and refused to reprimand the man. Idrin was likely happier in this new position fighting the Parshendi. |
