Gavinor Kholin is the first and only son of Elhokar and Aesudan Kholin.[2]
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 year old. Jasnah Kholin currently rules as queen regnant, with Gavinor named as her heir.[1]
Appearance
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.[3]
By the time Kaladin flies back to Alethkar after the battle at Thaylen City, Gavinor appears to be three or four years old, with chapped lips, haunted eyes, and is dressed in rags.[1]
After some time living in Urithiru, Gavinor is a healthy young boy, although somewhat reserved. He has dark hair and pure yellow eyes.[4]
History
When Kaladin and Elhokar 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 a Syldagger and killed one of the spren. Elhokar and Aesudan's conversation escalated to a full-scale argument, with Kaladin being able to hear every word they said from the other room. Kaladin tried to pick up Gavinor, but he screamed and scrambled away from Kaladin. Elhokar ran over and comforted his son. It is after this that Aesudan revealed that she was allied with Yelig-nar and Ashertmarn. Elhokar whispered something to his son, which made the boy stop crying and allowed his father to pick him up.[3]
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 shoved Gavinor aside before dealing final blow.[3]
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.[1]
Relationships
Aesudan Kholin
Aesudan Kholin is the mother of Gavinor Kholin. Not much is known about their relationship, apart from the fact that after Aesudan fell under the influence of some of the Unmade (namely Ashertmarn and Yelig-nar), her son grew scared of her and most other people.[3]
Elhokar Kholin
Elhokar Kholin is the father of Gavinor Kholin. Not much is known about their relationship, apart from the fact that Elhokar seems to be able to calm Gavinor down when he is crying after Kaladin attempts to pick him up during the infiltration of the Kholinar Palace.[3]
Navani Kholin is the grandmother of Gavinor Kholin. Not much is known about their relationship, however it appears that Navani visits Gavinor in Urithiru and that they enjoy each other's company. While it seems that Navani does not have much time to spend with little Gavinor, both of them enjoy each other's company, and Navani is very fond of the boy.
Drehy and Skar
Little is known about the journey of Drehy and Skar's small band of refugees who fled the city after the siege of Kholinar. However, it is apparent that Drehy and/or Skar were able to convince Gavinor to come with them, and after they have sacrificed so much to protect Gavinor and the rest of their band, it is likely that Gavinor trusts Drehy and/or Skar.[1]
Moash
Gavinor wants to kill Moash to avenge his father; he asked Adolin to teach him swordsmanship for this purpose. Apparently he was never told about reasons of his father’s death.
