He is also a surgebinder and a fledgling member of the [[Knights Radiant]]. He claims to be a [[Truthwatcher]], bonded to a spren named [[Glys]], but is not a true member of the order due to the corruption of his spren.{{book ref|worsa2|89}} Renarin bonded Glys at some point before Adolin's final duel.{{wob ref|283}} DuringHe thehas eventsaccess of [[Oathbringer]], he demonstrates use ofto the surge [[Surge|Progression]],s which he shares withof [[EdgedancersProgression]] likeand [[LiftIllumination]], but hehowever, has been unable to successfully use the oflatter Surge.

In the days leading up to the [[True Desolation]], Renarin began seeing visions of the future which caused him to write glyph messages and numbers counting down to the arrival of the Everstorm. During the battle for Narak itself, he is taken by one of these visions again, and his participation in them seems to be involuntary, if not painful. Considering the Vorin sensibilities regarding men writing, it is likely that his writing of the glyphs are against his will also. Because he is seeing the future, an action explicitly forbidden by the Vorin church for ties with the Voidbringers, Renarin believes himself to be cursed by the Almighty.
 
As a Radiant, Renarin suffers from fits, wherein he sees the future as stained-glass images. However, these images can be changed in reality - making it more likely that these visions show the most probable outcome instead of the certain future. The visions were the result of [[Glys]]'s corruption by [[Sja-anat]] prior to the formation of the Radiant bond. This changed Glys from the typical light-spot shape to a red snowflake, and has somehow introduced Odium's influence to the bond. How far this influence extends is yet to be seen.
 
[[Glys]]'s corruption has not barred Renarin from absorbing Stormlight, healing from Stormlight, or using the surge of [[Surge|Progression]]. He has been unable to use the [[Surge|Illumination]] to create Illusions the way a typical Lightweaver does, though it is theorized that it has been replaced by his ability to predict the Future.
