== History ==
{{image|Elhokar Gavinor botanicaxu.jpg|side=right|width=150px|Being held by his father during the fight on the [[Oathgate]] platform}}
When [[Kaladin]] and [[Elhokar Kholin]] stormed the [[Kholinar Palace]] and found [[Aesudan]] in the royal chambers, Elhokar spoke with Aesudan while Kaladin went into the other room to look for Gavinor. Instead of playing with friends, as his mother had stated, Gavinor was being tormented by [[spren]], so Kaladin summoned [[Syl]] as a
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}}
Kaladin returned to [[Alethkar]] to rescue [[Drehy]] and [[Skar]], who he left behind in the fighting at the Kholinar Palace. He found them near a dried out river, with the symbol of [[Bridge Four]] painted on a tarp. Drehy and Skar revealed a few servants they saved, as well as Gavinor.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
[[Ialai Sadeas]] pretended to be a patriot who wants to rescue Gavinor from the Blackthorn and the boy's aunt. By Ialai becoming Queen of Alethkar until the boy comes of age. However, [[Shallan]] kills her before she can start a rebellion.{{book ref|sa4|7}}{{book ref|sa4|93}}
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. 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.▼

==Relationships==
=== 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-
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}}

Little is known about the journey of [[Drehy]] and [[Skar]]'s small band of refugees who

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}}
