Renarin is a [[Surgebinder]] and member of the [[Knights Radiant]]. He claims to be a [[Truthwatcher]], bonded to a corrupted [[mistspren]] named [[Glys]],{{book ref|sa2|89}} but is not a true member of
As a Truthwatcher he would have access to the [[Surge]]s of [[Progression]] and [[Illumination]], however, his use of the latter surge is markedly different. Where standard Truthwatchers can use Illumination to create illusions in much the same way as a [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]], Renarin can only summon lights. These lights sometimes act in strange and unnatural ways.{{book ref|sa4|6}} However, [[Glys]]'s corruption has not barred Renarin from using Progression to heal himself and others like other Truthwatchers can.{{book ref|sa3|15}}{{book ref|sa3|59}} Renarin is not able to heal other people's wounds if too much time has passed and the person has fully internalized and accepted their injury.{{book ref|sa3|i|13}}{{book ref|sa3.5|2}}{{book ref|sa3.5|5}}

=== Early Life (1154-1167) ===
Renarin grew up with his family in [[Kholinar]] as the second son of the highprince. He was born while his father, Dalinar, was away on a military campaign against the [[Veden]]s. [[Evi]] asked Dalinar via [[spanreed]] request for a name, but received no reply, and so she named her son herself. ''Renarin'' was a combination of the Riran name Re, and the Alethi words ''Nar'' ("like unto," final syllable in "Dalinar") and ''In'' ("to be born unto"), which she intended to mean "Re, born unto Dalinar."{{book ref|sa3|52}} When Dalinar learned of this, he disliked the name, interpreting it as ''Like one who was born unto himself''.{{book ref|sa3|52}} Curiously, Evi's translation proved similar to Sja-Anat's later title for him, "Son of Thorns."{{book ref|sa4|111}}
Renarin is autistic{{wob ref|7099}}, and developed a "blood weakness", epilepsy, as a child.{{book ref|sa2|41}} His epilepsy made him unfit for combat, unlike his brother who had been undergoing sword training from the age of six.{{book ref|sa2|26}} His mother told him the [[myth of Parasaphi and Nadris]] when he was young.{{book ref|sa1|61}}
When they had reached a quieter area outside the [[Laqqi|village]], Renarin resummoned the vision so he could describe what he had seen with greater accuracy. He told Dalinar that he appeared in the vision in stark white Shardplate and was pierced by a black arrow, facing away from the image of Odium, who was depicted as a yellow and white light spreading to eternity. Renarin told Dalinar that he thought the vision was saying that Dalinar would keep on fighting small battles and never be given the chance to have an actual confrontation with Odium. He said that Odium had no reason to ever commit to an actual contest of champions, and would instead delay their confrontation indefinitely. Dalinar told Renarin that Odium had agreed to have the contest, but Renarin replied that since they had not agreed to a definite date and terms Odium would be able to push it off for as long as he wanted to. They then discussed how Odium's future sight was similar to Renarin's, in that they both only saw possibilities, not definite outcomes.{{book ref|sa4|54}}

Dalinar asked him if he could see anything else in the vision, and Renarin told him that there was a blackness between Dalinar and Odium. Renarin told him that this represented himself. He explained that since his future sight affected what he will do, it made it difficult for Odium to see his future and the futures of the people around him. Dalinar thanked Renarin for this information and told him that he did not need to hide his abilities from others. Renarin thanked him for the vote of confidence, but inside he knew that since the Vorin and [[Azish]] peoples had been told for thousands of years that seeing the future was evil they would never accept him if they knew what he could do.{{book ref|sa4|54}}▼

|If I'm a blessing, Father, how can we reject the others? How can we condemn the one who made them? Sja-anat isn’t human, and doesn’t think like one, but I believe she is trying to find a path toward peace between singers and humans. In her own way.

At Glys's prompting Renarin asked Dalinar what he thought about additional Radiants bonding corrupted spren, since that would increase their access to future sight. Dalinar told him that he would have to consider it since he was not comfortable yet with the idea of Sja-anat corrupting more spren. Dalinar told Renarin that he should talk to him if he has any more visions, since he also had some experience with seeing visions. Glys asked Renarin who would be good fit for another spren like himself, and Renarin recommended Rlain.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
=== Evi ===
Renarin is very close with his mother, [[Evi]]. She tells him myths and stories about Roshar when he is a young boy.{{book ref|sa1|61}} She also tells him what a great man his father is,{{book ref|sa3|94}} making him believe that Dalinar is the perfect Alethi officer.{{book ref|sa4|54}} After her death, he burns incense,{{book ref|sa3|88}} likely to remember her scent or carry on her Riran religious tradition.{{book ref|sa3|26}} He and Adolin keep a piece of her jewelry--a length of chain--as a good luck token,{{book ref|sa2|14}}{{book ref|sa2|56}} and Renarin sometimes uses it as a stim.{{book ref|sa3|44}}
