'''Redin''' is an illegitimate son of [[Highprince]] [[Valam]] of [[Jah Keved]] on [[Roshar]]. He purportedly acts as Valam's assassin and executioner.{{book ref
== Appearance and Personality ==
Redin is tall and has a long, slender face. He tends to purse his lips, giving him an angry or annoyed appearance.{{book ref|sa2|39}} He has [[wikipedia: Heterochromia iridum|heterochromia]], with one eye of 'intense' blue and one that is dark brown.{{book ref|sa2|39}} He is seen wearing dark clothing, including a maroon coat (presumably the color of House Valam) with ruffles at the cuffs.{{book ref|sa2|39}}
He is terse and unflappable when carrying out Valam's orders.{{book ref|sa2|39}} He has the reputation of being "ruthless", but seems to have a soft spot for his father; [[Taravangian]] thinks he looks "helpless" when Valam is on his deathbed.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}
== History ==
Redin's heterochromia likely indicates that his mother is [[darkeyes|darkeyed]].{{wob ref|12584}} Since eye color determines social status in [[Vorin]] nations, the few people that have heterochromia are treated awkwardly.{{wob ref|12225}}{{book ref|sa2|39}} Valam typically addresses Redin as "bastard" and treats him with obvious disdain.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}

He visits [[Davar mansion]] while [[Lin Davar]] is entertaining [[Tavinar]] and questions Lin about the circumstances of his [[Shallan's mother|first wife]]'s death.{{book ref|sa2|39}} He has authority to perform an inquest because House Davar owes fealty to Highprince Valam.{{book ref|sa1|3}} Redin is obviously suspicious of Lin, who seems to both plead with Redin and become extremely angry with him, although Redin's smooth demeanor prevents Lin from becoming truly enraged.{{book ref|sa2|39}} After Lin proves to be recalcitrant, Redin openly asks witnesses to come forward within earshot of the Davar children.{{book ref|sa2|39}} Although none of them speak up, they remember this offer years later when Lin is spiraling out of control.{{book ref|sa2|73}}
Redin was present at Valam's deathbed at the end of the Veden War of Succession, standing guard over the newly-crowned king.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} Valam indicates that Redin is his only living child at that point.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} Although Valam has figured out Taravangian's machinations, he announces Taravangian as his heir and successor to the [[Jah Keved]] throne after realizing that it is inevitable.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} He asks Redin to stab him through the heart rather than wait for someone to poison him; Redin wavers and hesitates but eventually complies, killing Valam.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} He storms out of the room and [[Mrall]] and Taravangian note that Valam's final request was particularly cruel; not only did he have to kill his father, but the patricide is also likely to disqualify him from any claim to the throne.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}
