'''Renarin Kholin''' is a [[lighteyes]] of the [[Alethkar|Alethi]] [[House Kholin]] on [[Roshar]]. He is ostensibly a [[Truthwatcher]], and is bonded to the corrupted [[spren]], [[Glys]].{{book ref|sa2|89}} He is the second son of [[Dalinar]] and [[Evi]], and the younger brother of [[Adolin]]. This makes him the nephew to [[Gavilar]] and [[Navani]] and cousin to [[Elhokar]] and [[Jasnah]]. Since Dalinar's abdication, he is first in line to succeed Adolin as [[highprince]] of the [[Kholin princedom]].{{book ref|sa1|69}}{{book ref|sa3|122}}

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]],{{book ref|sa2|89}} but is not a true member of the order due to the corruption of his spren.{{book ref|sa3|116}} Renarin bonded Glys at some point before Adolin's final duel.{{wob ref|283}} As a Truthwatcher he would have access to the [[Surge]]s of [[Progression]] and [[Illumination]], however, hehis hasuse beenof unablethe tolatter successfullysurge is markedly different. Where standard Truthwatchers can use Illumination to create illusions in much the lattersame Surgeway as a Lightweaver, Renarin can summon globes of light {{book ref|sa4|6}}. These globes can produce an effect similar to a gold shadow, showing alternate versions of those illuminated by them {{book ref|sa3sa4|378}}. [[Glys]]'s corruption has not barred Renarin from using Progression to heal himself and others.{{book ref|sa3|15}}{{book ref|sa3|59}}

The visions are the result of [[Glys]]'s corruption by [[Sja-anat]] prior to the formation of the Radiant bond. This changed Glys's appearance 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.{{book ref|sa3|115}}

Renarin's futuresight causes him to be a black spot that Odium cannot see when he tries to see the future himself.{{book ref|sa3|122}}{{wob ref|11882}} This is due to a conflict in [[Fortune]] similar to the way [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] [[electrum]] and [[gold]] interact with each other.{{wob ref|11873}}

During Adolin's duel with the four Shardbearers Renarin, without his Plate, joined the fray to try and help his brother. As [[Abrobadar]] engaged with him, easily batting away Renarin's Shardblade with ease,{{book ref|sa2|56}} Renarin heard his Shardblade screeching and froze where he stood.{{book ref|sa2|89}} Soon after, Kaladin joined the fray to help defend the two brothers.{{book ref|sa2|56}} After Kaladin and Adolin defeated Abrobadar and [[Jakamav]] together, [[Relis]] turned and dashed away to attack Renarin, who had been staying off to one side. As Relis approached Renarin dismissed his blade, causing Relis to hesitate. Moments later, Kaladin arrived, and Relis turned to swing his blade at him instead. Kaladin succeeded in performing a [[lastclap]], which caused Relis to hear his Blade screech in his mind, and he fled from the arena. After the duel was over, Renarin helped Kaladin remove Adolin's Plate, which had been drained of its Stormlight.{{book ref|sa2|57}}

As Shallan and the scholars tried to figure out how to operate the Oathgate Renarin crouched on the floor of the building writing zeros all over the floor as he mumbled repeatedly about how he had seen the Everstorm coming and that they were doomed.{{book ref|sa2|85}} RenarinShallan threatened to gag him if he would not quiet down{{book ref|sa2|86}} and he listened to her.{{wob ref|1428}}

After Jasnah's return, Renarin attended a meeting of brightladiesscholars, [[stormwarden]]s, and artifabrians talking about the function of Urithiru and how the gemstone pillar might work. He shared the idea that the city might be one big fabrial rather than several, and was insulted by [[Janala]], who called him feminine. Navani started to come to his defense, but Shallan, already vexed by Janala, jumped in instead to defend him. Renarin later thanked Shallan and had a conversation with her about Jasnah, in which he gave her the idea to go to Kholinar as part of the strike team as a spy. When the meeting resumed, Dalinar arrived, whichand sat down to observe the proceedings. This gave Renarin the confidence to actively watch the rest of the proceedings.{{book ref|sa3|44}} At a later meeting with the scholars Renarin, with the help of his visions,{{book ref|sa3|117}} discovered and opened the [[Urithiru gem archive|Gem Archive]] revealing hundreds of gemstones containing recordings from the Knights Radiant of the past.{{book ref|sa3|53}}

When Dalinar went to [[Thaylen City]] and saw the hospitals full of people wounded by the Everstorm he sent for Renarin who came and healed many of the injured. When the Thaylens he healed tried thanking him, he directed them to Dalinar, who he gave credit for the healing.{{book ref|sa3|59}} He also tried to heal [[Rysn]]'s legs, but was unable to do so since too much time had passed since her accident.{{book ref|sa3|i|13}}

During the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] Renarin sat in the temple of [[Pailiah]] seeing visions of the future, manifesting as panes of stained glass combining and melting together.{{book ref|sa3|115}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} Jasnah realized that something was not right with him and came to the temple intending to kill him and end the threat he, as a corrupted Radiant, posed to the rest of mankind. When she saw Glys floating in the air above Renarin's back she compared it to the sketch [[Jochi]] had given her sheand concluded that Renarin was not an actual Truthwatcher. She summoned [[Ivory]] as a Shardblade and prepared herself to do what she thought was necessary.{{book ref|sa3|115}} While she stood over him, Renarin watched his father give in and become Odium's champion.{{book ref|sa3|116}} He saw himself coming to the city with Dalinar and the betrayal that happened at the meeting. He saw himself kneeling in another pane of glass as Jasnah killed him, burning his eyes out.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Renarin accepted his impending death, thinking that it would be better to die than to live in a world where Dalinar Kholin, the Blackthorn, was Odium's champion. He whispered out loud that Dalinar had fallen and was no more. As Jasnah moved in to strike Renarin turned to look at her and nodded. Jasnah saw his tear streaked face and hesitated. She dismissed her Blade and embraced her cousin. She told him that they would find a way to fix what was wrong with him and that everything would be fine in the end. Seeing that Jasnah was not going to kill him, as his vision had foretold would happen, Renarin realized that his visions were not always accurate and that sometimes they were wrong.{{book ref|sa3|118}}

Jasnah took Renarin's hand and pulled him through the city in a mad rush, jumping from building to building as she raced towards Dalinar and the column of [[gloryspren]] forming around him. Renarin complained that he couldn't keep up, but Jasnah told him that as a Radiant he was fully capable of doing so. As they neared some of [[Amaram]]'s troops Renarin warned Jasnah that he had seen in a vision that they had changed sides, but she kept going towards them. When she was close enough, she [[Soulcast]] the soldiers into [[Ten Essences|crystal]]. She then turned the wall of a nearby building into smoke, trapping some soldiers behind the rubble, and conjured a set of stairs out of the air for them to climb onto the next building. By the time they reached where Dalinar was standing outside the city he had closed the [[Honor's Perpendicularity|Perpendicularityperpendicularity]] and the other Radiants had started gathering around him. Dalinar ordered Renarin to go to the Oathgate and fight off the [[Thunderclast]] defending it so he could bring in troops from Urithiru to help them fight the battle.{{book ref|sa3|119}}
