Restares
“It took hours to decide, but Restares is right--this is what must be done. For the good of Alethkar. ”
—Amaram to Kaladin, on deciding to take the Shards for himself[1]
Restares is the leader of the Sons of Honor, Meridas Amaram's and Gavilar Knolin's superior within the organization.[1][2][3][4]
History
Restares became the leader of the Sons of Honor, it is unknown if he founded the group himself or took charge of it later. He had Gavilar Kholin enter the group and this allowed him to later help expand the their influence further on Roshar.[4] The Sons of Honor were primarily founded so as to ensure the return of the Heralds by restarting the Desolations, Restares and Gavilar Kholin had additional plans for the group and used it to further these goals.[5][6] Upon learning of Gavilars plans Restares responded favorably to them and they began to conspire together, [7] meetings were held where they would meet in person with their final one taking place on the night Gavilar was to die.[8] Upon his death Restares was one of the people Gavilar suspected of ordering his assassination, in actuality however Restares did no such thing.[9]
After Gavilar's death Restares continued to lead the Sons of Honor and replaced Gavilar with Amaram as his main partner. The majority of their communication took place through spanreed.[2] After conferring together following the attempted assassination of Amaram by Helaran Davar, it was decided to take the Shards that Kaladin had won and murder any witnesses to this crime.[1] During this time Amaram was ordered to investigate the mysteries of Urithiru and upon seeing how far he had progessed Mraize feared that he was close to achieving this goal.[3] Following the Battle of Narak, Amaram wrote to Restares via spanreed that the Sons of Honor were successful in their goal of bringing the Voidbringers back to Roshar, with the hopes the Heralds would also return as well as informing him about the arrival of the Everstorm.[2]
Following the year after the Battle of Thaylen Fields the leadership of the Sons of Honor began being targeted and assassinated by the Ghostbloods.[5] Once Mraize was satisfied that their leadership were eliminated he handed a new mission to Shallan Davar to hunt down Restares personally in Lasting Integrity.[10]
