'''Riino''' is
His name derives from [[Aon#Rii|Aon Rii]], or Wealth.
== 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}}
▲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 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}}
== 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}}
}}
Riino becomes an Elantrian at some point before the [[Reod]]; he eventually becomes 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 survives until [[Raoden]], ten years after the Reod, realizes what his mantra means and attempts to get information on [[AonDor]] from him. Riino displays just enough rationality and memory to direct Raoden to put him into [[Devotion's Perpendicularity]], where he appears to dissolve.{{book ref|elantris|25}}{{wob ref|8649}}
In actuality, he is transported to the [[Cognitive Realm]], where he seems to recover his mind. Eventually, he joins the [[Ire]].{{wob ref|11822}} After some time in their service, he takes up a post at a lighthouse in [[Shadesmar]]. He settles there for a specific reason, though one unrelated to the Ire's overall goals.{{wob ref|13060}}
In fact, he is transported to the [[Cognitive Realm]] and eventually takes up a post at a lighthouse in [[Shadesmar]]. Riino settles there for a specific reason, though one unrelated to the Ire's overall goals.{{wob ref|13060}} When Kaladin, [[Shallan]], [[Adolin]], and [[Azure]] accidentally enter Shadesmar, their travels bring them to Riino. Kaladin attempts to sneak up on Riino, who--possibly using an enhanced [[Heightening|life sense]]--detects him anyway. Riino introduces himself as the "Rii Oracle" and offers to tell Kaladin's fortune during a [[highstorm]]. He has a large sphere filled with Stormlight that shows Kaladin visions during the highstorm when he puts his hand on it. Riino is surprised that Kaladin can see using the sphere, and guesses how Kaladin has access to Investiture. After Shallan, Adolin, and Azure arrive, Riino negotiates prices with them on supplies, and helps them get a ship to [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|97}}▼

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}}
== 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 seem capable of functioning as an Elantrian at a considerable distance from [[Sel]], without the [[Dor]] channel that the [[Ire]]
Riino is a [[worldhopper]], having travelled at the very least from Sel to Roshar. He seems to be fairly [[cosmere]]-aware, mentioning being [[Investiture|Invested]], [[Heightening]]s, and [[Surgebinding]].{{book ref|sa3|97}}▼
=== Futuresight ===
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.
▲He has some sort of 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 be used by the uninitiated. It requires that its surroundings be highly Invested, which is why Riino uses it only during a [[highstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|97}}

* Riino's connection to the events of ''[[Elantris]]'' has not been revealed on-page; rather, Brandon pointed to it unprompted, referring to a scene where Kaladin meets "our 'so very beautiful' friend from Elantris".{{wob ref|8649}}
