Appearance and Personality
Llarimar was a tall, portly man with spectacles and a calm demeanor. [2]
Llarimar is a kind, peaceful and incredibly patient individual. It takes the removal of almost all hope, threats and actual physical violence to make him even complain. He is a high priest and shows significant faith in the iridescent tones and specific devotion to the Returned Lightsong.[2] He tended to avoid politics and kept his thoughts to himself though he demonstrated many times that he was clever enough to have made an impact.[3]
He is brave. When Lightsong charges the soldiers attacking Blushweaver he follows and attempts to protect his god despite having no combat skills whatsoever.[4]
History
Pre-Warbreaker
Llarimar had served as a priest to the Returned Kindwinds the Honest,[1], but he grew disillusioned with his gods as he spent years exposed to their venality and corruption. However while on a family boating excursion his boat was caught in a storm. His daughter was thrown from the deck to certain death, but was rescued by his brother who leaped into the sea and fastened his own lifeline to her instead. When following his sacrifice, his brother was subsequently resurrected as one of the Returned, his faith was restored and he became Lightsong's high priest. He was so highly trusted that he was one of the few to whom Lightsong entrusted his Lifeless command phrase for a quarter of Hallandren's armies.[5]
During Warbreaker
Llarimar tends to his duties with fervor and actively encourages Lightsong to believe in himself. He records Lightsong's dreams and his comments on the paintings he looks at believing his dreams to be prophetic and his comments to have godly meaning. He is strictly obedient to Lightsong and tolerates all his whims without complaint. [2]
He assists Lightsong in his investigations at Mercystar's Palace. He knew Lightsong better than almost any other living being and remarked on his behaviour when it was not typical of him.[6] He goes with Lightsong to investigate the palace and attempts to save Blushweaver with him.[4] Captured by the rebels it is when Llarimar's life is threatened that Lightsong gives up the passs phriase to control the rest of the army of Lifeless.[7] He then tells the truth to Lightsong about his previous life as a scribe, revealing that he was his brother and that Lightsong died heroically saving his daughter. he tells him this to restore Lightsong's faith in himself and in the Iridescent Tones.
