'''Parlin''' is an [[Idrian]] guardsman from [[Nalthis]]. He works as a hunter in Idris for much of his time, but accompanied [[Vivenna]] to [[Hallandren]] when she went to rescue [[Siri]].
== Appearance and Personality ==
Parlin is a quiet
In Idris, Parlin wore dull brown clothing that would help camouflage him in the mountains and forests. In [[T'Telir]], he wore clothing that helped him blend in there
Like most Idrians, he is a follower of [[Austre]] and dresses and acts with self-deprecation. He is terse
[[Denth]] describes Parlin as "quick at adapting to situations" and "trustworthy", making him worth keeping around

|Parlin to Vivenna
}}
Before departing, Parlin was guarding the Northern Passes. He acts as [[Vivenna]]'s bodyguard when she goes secretly to [[T'Telir]] after her sister [[Siri]], and is several years Vivenna's senior. He was easy to convince and already knew the route, as he had scouted the wall a year before.{{book ref|wb|9}}
Nevertheless, his skill at blending in with nature translates well to the city. Parlin adopts a brightly colored hat and vest in T'Telir, which Vivenna claims
He is tortured to death by the mercenary [[Tonk Fah]] when Denth believes Vivenna has run away{{book ref|wb|35}}, as only a short time previously he had talked to her on the stairs and she may have confided in him. Denth did not intend for Tonk Fah to kill him, but Tonk Fah got carried away during the torture.{{wob ref|
== Relationships ==
He is the man King [[Dedelin]] would have married [[Vivenna]] to had she not been promised to the [[Susebron|God King]].{{book ref|wb|9}} They were close friends throughout childhood.
[[Vivenna]] is not in love with Parlin, but she does have affection for him. She views him more as a brother.{{wob ref
He is attracted to [[Jewels]], but she is only amused by him. She is not romantically interested, as she is already involved with [[Arsteel]].{{book ref|wb|33}}{{wob ref

== Trivia ==
* In early drafts of Warbreaker, Parlin was named Peprin and was much more bumbling and innocent.
* If [[Brandon Sanderson]] could change anything about Warbreaker, it would be to make Parlin a more compelling character. His death should have been more impactful.
