== Appearance and Personality ==
As a Hoed, he is small and extremely wrinkled; [[Raoden]] thinks he appears to be "a thousand years old".{{book ref|elantris|25}} When [[Kaladin]] and the others meet him, he has retained the wrinkled skin and also has the bald head common to Elantrians. Kaladin thinks he is [[Shin]],{{book ref|sa3|97}} presumably because, as an offworlder, he lacks the epicanthic fold seen in most [[Roshar]]ans but absent in the Shin.
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}}
Riino is an [[Elantrian]], and 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]] use 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

=== Sel ===
Riino became an Elantrian at some point before the [[Reod]]; he eventually became a Hoed, repeating a mantra of "Beautiful, once so very beautiful...", referring to the lost beauty of Elantris and the Elantrians.{{book ref|elantris|4}} He survived until [[Raoden]], ten years after the Reod, realized what his mantra meant and attempted to get information on [[AonDor]] from him. Riino displayed just enough rationality and memory to direct Raoden to put him into [[Devotion's Perpendicularity]], where he appeared to dissolve.{{book ref|elantris|25}}{{wob ref|8649}}
=== Member of the Ire ===
In actuality, he was transported to the [[Cognitive Realm]]; he somehow survived the dangerous conditions in the area,{{wob ref|8241}} eventually recovered his mind, and later became a member of the [[Ire]].{{wob ref|11822}} Later, he took up a post at a lighthouse on the Rosharan subastral of the Cognitive Realm, in the [[Sea of Lost Lights]]. He settled there for a specific reason, and though he was a member of the Ire, his purpose there was unrelated to the [[Ire]]'s overall goals.{{wob ref|13060}}
