'''Gavinor Kholin''' is the first and only son of [[Elhokar]] and [[Aesudan Kholin]].{{book ref|sa3|67}}
Gavinor spent most of his life in [[Kholinar]] with his mother, Aesudan. Little is known about his childhood before the [[Battle of Kholinar]], when he was two or three

Gavinor is a small, two or three year old boy at the time of [[Kaladin]], [[Elhokar]], and [[Shallan]]'s infiltration of the [[Kholinar Palace]]. He is found wearing a [[Kholin]] blue uniform, as well as holding a stuffed soldier that wears the same uniform.{{book ref|sa3|84}}

After some time living in [[Urithiru]], Gavinor is a healthy young boy, yet too small for his age and somewhat reserved.{{book ref|sa4|16}} He has dark hair and pure yellow eyes, and he carries a small wooden sword with him at all times.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
==History==▼
▲== History ==
{{image|Elhokar Gavinor botanicaxu.jpg|side=right|width=150px|Being held by his father during the fight on the [[Oathgate]] platform}}
During the fighting at the Kholinar Palace, Elhokar, holding Gavinor, was one word away from speaking the [[Immortal Words]] when [[Moash]] appeared and ran him through with a spear. Moash kicked Gavinor aside before dealing the final blow.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
▲The first time Gavinor is seen in the series is when Kaladin, Elhokar, and Shallan infiltrate the Kholinar Palace. Kaladin and Elhokar enter the royal chambers, Elhokar speaks with Aesudan while Kaladin goes into the other room to look for Gavinor. Gavinor is being tormented by spren, so Kaladin summons a Syldagger and kills one of the spren. Elhokar and Aesudan's conversation escalates to a full-scale argument, meaning Kaladin can hear every word they say from the other room. Kaladin tries to pick up Gavinor, but he screams and scrambles away from Kaladin. Elhokar runs over to and comforts his son. It is after this that Aesudan reveals that she is allied with [[Yelig-nar]] and [[Ashertmarn]]. Elhokar whispers something to his son, which made the boy stop crying and allow his father to pick him up.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
The trauma of his father's death had a long-lasting effect on Gavinor, with [[Navani]] noting that he treated even play as a serious occasion. He asked her if [[Dalinar]] could teach him to fight, so that he could kill Moash someday, to which Navani replied that she would ask him.{{book ref|sa4|16}} And Dalinar later shows him how to hold practice swords.{{book ref|sa4|i|7}} [[Szeth]] expressed to [[Nightblood]] his fears that Gavinor had finally begun to laugh again and that, someday, the child would have that taken from him again.{{book ref|sa4|i|7}}
==Relationships==
{{image|Elhokar and Gavinor by Marie Seeberger.jpg|side=left|width=200px|Gavinor held by his [[Elhokar|father]]}}
=== Family ===
Gavinor is the son of [[Aesudan]] and [[Elhokar Kholin]]. Not much is known about his relationship with his parents. He spent most of his early childhood with Aesudan, as Elhokar was off fighting the [[War of Reckoning]], although the two have met before -- possibly during Aesudan's visits to the [[Shattered Plains]].{{wob ref|1294}} Elhokar seems to know how to take care of Gavinor, and knows how to calm the boy down when he starts crying.{{book ref|sa3|84}} Gavinor, in turn, cares for him dearly, swearing bloody revenge on [[Moash]] after his death.{{book ref|sa4|16}}
It's unknown how Gavinor used to feel about his mother. After Aesudan fell under the influence of [[Ashertmarn]] and [[Yelig-nar]], he grew scared of her and most other people.{{book ref|sa3|84}} That time left him timid, quiet and easily-scared, and it took over a year for him to become excitable and sociable again. He does not seem to feel as strongly about his mother's death as he does about his father's, though this might be because of the different manner in which she died.{{book ref|sa4|16}} He even thought she was evil until Dalinar told him that she was controlled by evil people, and that she loved him.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
After Gavinor arrives in Urithiru, the rest of his family, including [[Adolin]], [[Dalinar]] and [[Navani]], take care of him; Adolin teaches him horse-riding, Dalinar trains him in swordsmanship, while Navani tries to spend time with him whenever she can.{{book ref|sa4|i|7}} While it seems that doesn't happen very often, both of them enjoy each other's company, and Navani is very fond of the boy.{{book ref|sa4|16}}
'''Drehy and Skar'''▼
Little is known about the journey of [[Drehy]] and [[Skar]]'s small band of refugees who
=== Moash ===
Gavinor wants to kill Moash to avenge his father; he asks Dalinar to teach him swordsmanship for this purpose. Apparently he was never told about reasons of his father's death.{{book ref|sa4|16}}
=== Szeth ===
Gavinor's happiness frightens Szeth because he thinks he shouldn't be around the prince, not to mention guarding him, as he's mentally unstable. However he can't bring himself to ask Dalinar not to. Gavinor, on the other hand, doesn't seem to fear Szeth, and even smiles and wriggles his wooden sword infront of Szeth.{{book ref|sa4|i|7}}
