| You came here for a fortune, didn’t you? You wish me to see the unwalked paths—during the highstorm, when realms blend.

He displays a flair for showmanship; in his role as a fortune seer, he delivers a dramatic speech to entice potential customers into paying for fortunes, and confesses that he quite enjoys doing so. Once he realizes that Kaladin is not there for a fortune, however, he becomes businesslike and helpful, setting the travelers up with transportation and supplies. He's a follower of [[Shu-Korath]], or at least has been heavily exposed to it.{{book ref|sa3|97}}
 
== Abilities and Attributes ==
Riino is an [[Elantrian]], and as such, has all the associated powers, including functional immortality, healing and the ability to use [[Aon]]s.{{book ref|elantris|4}} He seems capable of functioning as an Elantrian at a considerable distance from [[Sel]], without the [[Dor]] channel that the [[Ire]] used back in the days of the [[Final Empire]].{{msh ref|5|2}}{{book ref|sa3|97}} How he achieves this, and whether it's something available to all Ire at the time of the [[True Desolation]], is unknown.
 
Riino is a [[worldhopper]], having traveled at the very least from Sel to Roshar. He also may have been to [[Nalthis]], as he mentions [[Heightening]]s, though the word may have just entered into general worldhopper parlance. In addition to references Heightenings, he also mentions being [[Investiture|Invested]] and [[Surgebinding]], indicating he is at least somewhat aware of the [[cosmere]].{{book ref|sa3|97}}
 
=== Futuresight ===
Riino has an ability to predict the future, assisted by some sort of shining globe. Whatever the globe is, it isn't a [[fabrial]], as it doesn't feature a gemstone. While Riino himself mentions that utilizing it requires specific training, the globe can grant visions to the uninitiated. It requires that its surroundings be highly Invested, which is why Riino uses it only during a [[highstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|97}}
 
This being said, [[Azure]] believes that Riino is a charlatan, using various euphoric substances and psychological manipulation to make people believe he can see the future.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Considering that Kaladin's vision appears to have been correct, she's likely wrong, though it's also possible that the vision is unrelated to the globe, as Kaladin has seen true things in highstorms before.
 
== History ==
{{quote
| We were so beautiful once. My hair so bright, my skin full of light. Aons fluttered from my fingers. They were so beautiful…
| Riino's mantra as the [[Hoed]]{{book ref|elantris|25}}
}}
 
 
When the rest of the group arrives, Riino negotiates prices with them on supplies, and helps them get a ship to [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|97}} He eventually drops them off into the care of the [[Reacher]]s and returns to his lighthouse, having apparently decided that the matter is no longer his concern.{{book ref|sa3|99}}
