(Cutting out the remark about the Shardblade immediately vanishing. The Blade would not have born a gemstone. Hence it would appear as unbonded to Lin Davar. Hiding it is a rational action, not an act of forgetfullness.) |

== History ==
He was first married to [[Shallan's mother]]. Together, the two of them had [[Helaran]], [[Balat]], [[Wikim]], [[Jushu]], and [[Shallan]]. When Shallan was eleven, he walked into his wife and her friend trying to kill Shallan for being a [[Surgebinder]]. He managed to cut the friend, but eventually got pinned down as Shallan used her [[Shardblade]] to kill both her mother and her mother's friend. In the panicked aftermath, Lin locked the Shardblade into his strongbox, not realizing that it would immediately disappear.{{book ref|sa2|88}} He picked up Shallan and comforted her by singing her a childhood lullaby and promising to protect her.{{book ref|sa2|10}} To keep his promise, Lin let everyone believe he'd killed his wife in order to protect Shallan, but the secret drove him to becoming violent and volatile.{{book ref|sa2|88}} It is likely that Helaran's hatred of him contributed to it as well, since Lin loved Helaran more than any of his other sons.
