== Appearance and Personality ==
Adolin’s hair is mostly blond with streaks of Alethi black running through it{{book ref|twok|15}} and it has been described as an unruly mop{{book ref|twok|28}}{{book ref|sa2|4}} and a stylish mess{{book ref|twok|58}}. Despite the blond hair color he and Renarin share, they are both Dalinar's legitimate sons.{{17s ref|4254|66703
Adolin is incredibly loyal to his father despite not always seeing eye-to-eye with him and is certainly unafraid to voice his opinions{{book ref|twok|24}}. Despite his opposing views he remains steadfastly obedient, listening to his father and following the codes{{book ref|twok|22}} even if he does not necessarily believe in them or wish to obey them. He shows an unwillingness to become the highprince when Dalinar considers stepping aside in favour of him, still intensely loyal to his father{{book ref|twok|52}}. His skepticism surrounding the codes eventually changes and Adolin begins to understand their purpose. He grows to become a better leader because of this and at the same time he grows further away from the people he once considered to be friends{{book ref|twok|58}}.
== Trivia ==
*Adolin did not originally have a view point in the original draft for [[The Way of Kings]]. This was changed when Brandon shifted Dalinar’s doubts about his own sanity to his son. “I brought out [Dalinar’s] son, who hero worships his father, who could then say ‘my father is going mad. I love this man I have to protect him. But he’s also going mad what do I do?’” The external conflict between the two of them ended up making both Adolin and Dalinar stronger characters.{{
