(Still under construction. I'll take another pass at it eventually, but for now it's got a little bit of new stuff.) |

More recently, [[Kaladin]] and the other members of Bridge Four have become the primary bodyguards of the Kholin family, Renarin included. Renarin appears to trust Kaladin greatly, asking to become a member of Bridge Four under his command. In turn, Kaladin shows great intuition in understanding Renarin's condition and motivations, allowing him to train with the other members of Bridge Four.{{book ref|wor|41}}
Despite the imminent possibility of her becoming his sister-in-law by marrying Adolin, Renarin has very few interactions with [[Shallan Davar]] until the Battle of Narak. During the battle he is taken by a vision while working with Shallan, and she regards him as an annoyance who gets in her way.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Renarin has a "blood weakness" which prevents him participating in activities of great physical stress, including combat. The weakness affects him in episodes, during which he grows pale and his limbs go weak, to the point of trembling or possible collapse.{{book ref|twok|52}}
Renarin recently inherited Dalinar's Shardplate, and was given a Shardblade won in a duel by Adolin.{{book ref|twok|69}}{{book ref|wor|14}} Though he has had very little training with Blade and Plate up to this point, he undergoes training under [[Zahel]]. He also trains as a member of Bridge Four under Kaladin's leadership, though it is unsure whether or not he is trained with or carries a spear. Renarin uses his Shardblade only under great duress or when asked directly, because, as a manifestation of his [[Nahel bond]], he hears the screams of the Blade's dead spren when he holds it.
He is also a surgebinder and af fledgling member of the [[Knights Radiant]]. He claims to be a [[Truthwatcher]], bonded to a spren named [[Glys]]{{book ref|wor|89}}. Though we see very little of his surgebinding on screen, he should have access to the surges of {{surges|Illumination}}, which he shares with [[Lightweavers]] like Shallan, and {{Surges|Progression}}, which he shares with [[Edgedancers]] like [[Lift]].
In the days leading up to the [[True Desolation]], Renarin began seeing visions of the future which caused him to write glyph messages and numbers counting down to the arrival of the Everstorm. During the battle for Narak itself, he is taken by one of these visions again, and his participation in them seems to be involuntary, if not painful. Considering the Vorin sensibilities regarding men writing, it is likely that his writing of the glyphs are against his will also. Because he is seeing the future, an action explicitly forbidden by the Vorin church for ties with the Voidbringers, Renarin believes himself to be cursed by the Almighty.
{{Theory}}
It is unknown whether or not Renarin's visions are related to his Surgebinding or not. While visions of the future seem as though they could fall under the realm of Illumination, we do not see Shallan using her powers of Illumination this way. In addition, while other Surgebinders have been shown to use their powers unconsciously or unintentionally, there are no other instances of a Surgebinder using powers actively against their will. In this, Renarin's visions seem to be closer to Dalinar's highstorm visions, which cannot be avoided or escaped and during which he loses complete control of himself, than the result of a Surge.
==Trivia==
*Renarin is on the [[wikipedia:Autism spectrum|autism spectrum]], though only 'slightly.'{{qa ref|983|2|Is Renarin Kholin on the autism spectrum?}}
*Renarin "sees a spren that nobody else sees."{{17s ref|4516|post|72170|Renarin's Spren}}. As of Words of Radiance, this spren is almost certainly [[Glys]]
*In the original draft of [[The Way of Kings Prime|''The Way of Kings'' Prime]], Renarin was the one who wrote the [[Diagram]].{{ref|text=Splintercast reads WoR Episode Wrap-Up}}
