He displays a flair for showmanship; in his role as a fortune seer, he delivers a dramatic speech to entice potential customers into paying for fortunes, and confesses that he quite enjoys doing so. Once he realizes that Kaladin is not there for a fortune, however, he becomes businesslike and helpful, setting the travelers up with transportation and supplies. He's a follower of [[Shu-Korath]], or at least has been heavily exposed to it.{{book ref|sa3|97}} |

+ | Riino is a [[worldhopper]], having traveled at the very least from Sel to Roshar. He also may have been to [[Nalthis]], as he mentions [[Heightening]]s, though the word may have just entered into general worldhopper parlance. In addition to referencing Heightenings, he also mentions being [[Investiture|Invested]] and [[Surgebinding]], indicating he is at least somewhat aware of the [[cosmere]].{{book ref|sa3|97}} |

Riino has an ability to predict the future, assisted by some sort of shining globe. Whatever the globe is, it isn't a [[fabrial]], as it doesn't feature a gemstone. While Riino himself mentions that utilizing it requires specific training, the globe can grant visions to the uninitiated. It requires that its surroundings be highly Invested, which is why Riino uses it only during a [[highstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|97}} |

Riino became an Elantrian at some point before the [[Reod]]; he eventually became a Hoed, repeating a mantra of "Beautiful, once so very beautiful...", referring to the lost beauty of Elantris and the Elantrians.{{book ref|elantris|4}} He survived until [[Raoden]], ten years after the Reod, realized what his mantra meant and attempted to get information on [[AonDor]] from him. Riino displayed just enough rationality and memory to direct Raoden to put him into [[Devotion's Perpendicularity]], where he appeared to dissolve.{{book ref|elantris|25}}{{wob ref|8649}} |
