Renarin's role in the war for vengeance against the [[Parshendi]] is a minimal one, and this is a fact of which he seems very aware and unhappy. His father and brother wereare warriors and Shardbearers on the front lines of conflict, but there wasis very little for a second son to do who wasis not allowed to fight.

While very little of his appearance is explicitly described, it is assumed that he bears a physical resemblance to Adolin. His hair color contains both blonde and black, like his brother's, though Renarin has more black than blonde.{{17s ref|post|66703|Renarin didn't get as much of the hair|date=05 October 2013}} He is also distinguished in the fact that he wears spectacles, though due to the process of Stormlight healing, his eyesight is repaired and he stops wearing them.{{book ref|wor|89}} Like all officers in the Kholin army, Renarin wears his uniform while out in public, though because of his physical weakness, his uniform has never seen battle.{{book ref|twok|26}} He has blue eyes.{{citeurl ref|url=http://renarinkholin.tumblr.com/post/130912410124/its-face-day-have-a-cosplay-pic-and-a-signing|text=Shadows of Self release|site=Tumblr|date=Oct. 6, 2015}}
