'''Rine''' is a ''[[shanay-im]]'' [[Fused]] on [[Roshar]]. He interacts with [[Venli]] on several occasions.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}

Rine is one of the few [[Fused]] who are still sane. During the [[True Desolation]], he possesses the body of a tall [[singer]]. As one of the ''[[shanay-im]]'', he wears a long cloak and does not walk on the ground, preferring to [[gravitation|hover]] a few feet above it.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}{{book ref|sa3|i|12}}

Certain [[listener]] traditions seem to baffle him, such as their taboos regarding dead bodies and their reluctance to talk about [[gemheart]]s. He is sometimes dismissive of [[Venli]], although he more readily accepts her words when she speaks respectfully and uses the ancient tongue.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} Like other Fused, he speaks and hums to [[Rhythm#Odium's_Rhythms|Odium's Rhythms]], although he is one of the few to use the calmer Rhythm of Withdrawal.{{book ref|sa3|i|12}}

Rine remembers the ancient Desolations and the shock among the Fused when they realized the existence and the strength of the [[Nahel bond]] between [[spren]] and humans. In Rine's opinion, it is more important to keep a close watch on human slaves than to exploit them as workers; he fears that [[Surgebinder]]s might arise among them.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}

== Attributes and Abilities ==

Rine is a [[Cognitive Shadow]] that serves [[Odium]]. Like all Fused, he is able to travel from [[Braize]] to Roshar and possess the body of a singer during a [[Desolation]]. He is able to use [[Voidlight]] and manipulate the [[Surge]] of [[Gravitation]].{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}

He seems to rank relatively highly among the Fused, likely due to his sanity. He led the team that traveled through [[Alethkar]] proselytizing singers, and typically conferred with a town's [[spren]] right before they moved from one town to another.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}

Rine guided Venli in her preachings to the newly awakened Alethi [[parshmen]]. At first they visited small villages, but after this practice they moved on to [[Kholinar]]. Rine personally helped fly Venli to the new location.{{book ref|sa3|i|9}} In Kholinar, the true labor began, with Venli giving many presentations each day.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}} When Venli compared the newly awakened parshmen to babes, Rine compared her to a toddler.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}

After Rine and Venli had been in Kholinar for some time,{{book ref|sa3|i|11}} they joined the fleet that was preparing for the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|i|12}} Rine offered Venli the opportunity to refresh herself in the cabin of their ship, but Venli asked him why they needed such a large fleet when they had the Fused. Rine answered that the most skilled Fused had yet to awaken and even if they did, they would not fight alone. He became philosophical on the subject, and said that once the humans had been defeated, the Fused would hand over Roshar to the singers and finally get to rest.{{book ref|sa3|i|12}}
