=== Shards ===
After giving his [[Shardblade]] to [[Torol Sadeas]] in exchange for the [[bridgemen]], Dalinar gives his [[Shardplate]] to Renarin,{{book ref|sa1|69}} and Adolin later gives him the Shardblade he won in his duel with [[Salinor Eved]].{{book ref|sa2|14}} [[Zahel]] trains him how to use his Shards properly. Renarin also trains as a member of Bridge Four under Kaladin's leadership, though it is unclear if he is trained with or carries a spear. Renarin uses his Shardblade only under great duress or when asked directly, because, as a manifestation of his [[Nahel bond]], he hears the screams of the Blade's dead spren whenwhenever he holds it. After the [[Battle of Narak]], he returns the Shardblade Adolin gave him, as he learns to manifest Glys as a Shardblade and can use him instead.{{book ref|sa3|10}}

=== Surgebinding ===
 
=== Other Abilities ===
Renarin's bond with Glys has granted him several abilities that are different from the abilities an ordinary Truthwatcher would possess. It is not clear if these abilities are a modified version of Surgebinding, simply standard [[Voidbinding]], or some combination of the two.{{wob ref|8461}}{{wob ref|9541}}
 
He is able to use a surge of Stormlight to banish the life and animating force out from a [[Thunderclast]].{{book ref|sa3|120}} He is able to show a person an alternate version of themselves, similar to the effect of [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] [[gold]]. This manifests as an illusory image of the target's alternate self standing within a cloud of bright white Lightlight.{{book ref|sa4|8}}

=== Early Life (1154-1167) ===
Renarin grew up with his family in Kholinar as the second son of the highprince. He was born while his father, Dalinar, was away on a military campaign against the [[Veden]]s. [[Evi]] asked Dalinar via [[spanreed]] request for a name, and so Evi named her son herself. ''Renarin'' was a combination of the Riran name Re, and the Alethi words ''Nar'' ("like unto") and ''In'' ("to be born unto"). When Dalinar learned of this, he disliked the name, interpreting it as ''Like one who was born unto himself''.{{book ref|sa3|52}}

|He'll surprise you, I gave him the whole ‘I’m your master and you do what I say’ talk, and he actually listened. [...] If you knew how many spoiled ten-year-old lighteyed brats came through here you’d think it worth noting. I thought a nineteen-year-old like him would be insufferable.

"Jasnah," Renarin said. "My vision was wrong about you. What I see … it can be wrong. "

As he approached the platform, he saw that there were twelve Fused hovering above it, guarding the Oathgate. A child motioned Renarin to go into a small building on the side where he found [[Teshav]] and several scribes. They told him that there had been an attack by the singers on Urithiru and they were unable to contact [[Malata]] to have her open the portal. Renarin then went outside, summoned his Shardblade, and continued toward the Oathgate. As he neared the ramp onto the platform the Fused descended towards him. As four of the Fused saluted him Renarin had a vision predicting that [[Teft]] would become Radiant and activate the Oathgate from Urithiru. He smiled at the Fused standing at attention before him, confusing them, and moments later this occurred as the Oathgate exploded with Light and an entire division of Kholin troops, led by Teft holding a glowing Shardspear, emerged from the Oathgate. When the Fused saw this they flew away and Renarin told Lopen and the other members of Bridge Four not to chase them away from the Oathgate, but rather they should stay near it and protect it from further attacks. [[Lyn]] tried asking him for commands, but Renarin told her that he was not in command but suggested that she and Rock could help with the wounded near the city's wall. He told them that was done being Radiant for the day and needed a break from all of the action. Before he flew off Rock surprised Renarin with a warm hug, and Renarin thanked him again for coming before sitting and resting.{{book ref|sa3|120}} After the battle Renarin used his Stormlight to heal the wounded who were in most dire need of his help.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
 
{{image|Kaladin and Renarin by rspixart.jpg|side=right|width=250px|Renarin walking Kaladin back to the Fourth Bridge}}
When the [[Fourth Bridge]] was evacuating the people of [[Hearthstone]] Renarin used his Illumination to create a ball of light which he used to calm down some frightened children.{{book ref|sa4|6}}

He used his powers to summon an image of an alternate, Radiant, version of Moash frightening the man and causing him to run away. Afterwards Renarin helped Kaladin walk back to the Fourth Bridge,{{book ref|sa4|8}} and told Teft and the other members of Bridge Four what he had seen.{{book ref|sa4|9}}
 
== Relationships ==
{{image|Kholin Brothers by clarinking.jpg|side=rightleft|width=300px|Renarin with [[Adolin]]}}
=== Adolin ===
Renarin is very close to [[Adolin]], and respects him greatly almost to the point of hero-worship.{{book ref|sa1|18}} The brothers share a high level of trust and friendship. Renarin occasionally acts as a mediator when his brother and father have disagreements, and he often restrains Adolin from acting rashly towards Sadeas and others who insult Dalinar.{{book ref|sa1|12}}{{book ref|sa1|15}} Adolin often encourages Renarin{{book ref|sa2|26}} and he helps him to learn how to use his Shards.{{book ref|sa2|44}}{{book ref|sa3|10}} While other people see Renarin as awkward and slow-thinking, Adolin knows that this is actually because Renarin is thoughtful and takes time to consider his words before speaking.{{book ref|sa3|10}} Renarin often worries about Adolin's safety and will intervene, often at great danger to himself, to try and help his brother.{{book ref|sa1|13}}{{book ref|sa2|56}}{{book ref|sa3|120}}
