History

Early Life

Shards

Adolin inherited his Shardplate from his mother's side of the family on his sixteenth birthday. At some point, he dueled a lighteyes named Tinalar. Against expectations, he won the duel, securing his unnamed Shardblade.

Sureblood

When he was a youth, his father Dalinar to a place where riders can meet Ryshadium. There he bonded with the steed Sureblood. Adolin was more nervous on this day than he was when he won his Shardblade

War of Reckoning

Chasmfiend Hunt

Adolin accompanied King Elhokar and Highprinces Dalinar, Sadeas and Vamah, along with his brother Renarin. Adolin worried about his father's mind and Sadeas's scheming over the trip. He rode up with the King, Dalinar and Sadeas, intending to keep an eye on Sadeas. When Elhokar and Dalinar raced to a rock formation, Adolin took control of his father's army. He prepared the troops in the way he knew his father would want it done, rather than just doing what was easy. During this time, Renarin teases Adolin over his failing courtships with Rilla and Janala. When Dalinar mentions wanting to withdraw from the Shattered Plains Adolin fiercely urges his father to reconsider. At this time, Wit rode up and started insulting the Kholins. While Adolin took it in stride, mentioning how much he loved the new Wit. As they reach the final plateau, they meet up with the huntmaster Bashin, who tells them it should take about two to three hours for the chasmfiend to arrive. While he gave advice to Dalinar and Elhokar on how best to slay the beast, Dalinar noted that the chull was no longer dragging any bait.

Family

Adolin is the first son of Dalinar, and his younger brother is Renarin. There is near to nothing known about his mother. Gavilar is his uncle, Dalinar's brother. Navani, Gavilar's widow, is his aunt, and he calls her Mashala. Gavilar's children, Jasnah and King Elhokar, are his cousins.

Appearance and Character

His hair is mostly blond, with streaks of Alethi black, and his eyes are blue. Despite the blond hair color he and Renarin share, they are Dalinar's legitimate sons.

Though he likes conversation, courting different young women, and duelling, he takes his responsibilities as the eldest son of a highprince seriously and is on the way to becoming a good highprince himself.

Abilities

He is a Shardbearer, owning both a Shardblade and a Shardplate, which he inherited from his mother's side of the family on his 16th birthday.

He has a white stallion, a Ryshadium horse named Sureblood, one of only a dozen Ryshadium in all the Alethi warcamps on the Shattered Plains.

Calling

Adolin's Calling is duelling and he frequently resorts to challenging other lighteyes to settle disputes. Since arriving at the Shattered Plains he has been unable to duel as much as he had previously due to his father's insistence that he follow the Alethi Codes of War which state that needless duels should be avoided during times of war so that commanding officers are not wounded.
