'''Toh''' is a [[Rira (country)|RiraRiran]]n man on [[Roshar]] and [[Evi Kholin]]'s brother. He is [[Dalinar]]'s brother-in-law and [[Adolin]] and [[Renarin]]'s uncle.{{book ref|sa3|19}}

Toh is a tall [[lighteyes|lighteyed]] man with golden hair. Like most [[Rira (country)|Rirans]], his skin is lighter than a typical [[Alethi]]'s.{{book ref|sa3|19}}{{book ref|sa3|49}} He speaks Alethi with a thick accent, lengthening his "ah" and "oh" sounds,{{book ref|sa3|19}} although his accent is not as thick as [[Evi]]'s.{{book ref|sa3|26}} He is described as slender or even spindly, and walks with a delicate gait.{{book ref|sa3|19}}{{book ref|sa3|49}} He would never be mistaken for a soldier, even in military-style clothing.{{book ref|sa3|49}}

Toh is careful and overly cautious, with a certain sense of delicacy about him. He tends to act in a rather innocent and naive way, such as mistaking the aftermath of a brawl for a party, and he speaks a lot when nervous.{{book ref|sa3|19}}{{book ref|sa3|49}} [[Dalinar Kholin]] thinks he is a sycophant when they first meet, although [[Gavilar Kholin]] and [[Ialai Sadeas]] believe him to be genuine, but desperate.{{book ref|sa3|19}}

Toh grew up in [[Rira (country)|Rira]] with his sister, [[Evi]]. They presumably had a high level of status in their country, as Evi was gifted a set of [[Shardplate]] at some point in her youth.{{book ref|sa3|19}} When the two were in their late teens, they fled their home with Evi's Shardplate for unknown reasons, to the ire of their relatives.{{book ref|sa3|19}} Evi noted that they were "exiles" from Rira, even years later.{{book ref|sa3|66}} They sought out the [[Alethi]] and tried to use the Plate as a bargaining chip to gain political asylum, with Toh negotiating with [[Gavilar Kholin]] for the two of them. Toh initially seemed to have some reservations about the ability of the Alethi to offer protection, but his doubts were removed after he met [[Dalinar Kholin]] during his "Blackthorn" years.{{book ref|sa3|19}} [[Ialai Sadeas]] suggested that marrying Dalinar and Evi would be the best way to solidify the agreement.{{book ref|sa3|19}}

Assisted by Riran customs, Toh dragged out the betrothal, using the extra time to try and add more favorable clauses into the marriage contract.{{book ref|sa3|26}} Toh wanted to become part of House Kholin's royal line, in addition to receiving protection from retribution by Rira.{{book ref|sa3|19}} After Dalinar won [[Kalanor]]'s [[Shardblade|Blade]] and Plate, Gavilar believed that [[House Kholin]]'s increased strength would not allow Toh to delay the marriage any longer.{{book ref|sa3|19}} Dalinar finally married Evi in exchange for the Plate, and both she and Toh gained significant status.{{book ref|sa3|26}} The Plate was later given to Evi's son, [[Adolin Kholin]].{{book ref|sa3|16}} [[Iri]], which was involved in a dispute over the possession of Rira, later made a claim to the Plate, although they would never have attempted war with Alethkar. Iri's royal line did not have any blood relation to Toh and Evi, further weakening their claim.{{book ref|sa3|16}}

For some time, Toh lived in [[Kholinar]] along with his sister. He seemed to integrate into Alethi society; he wore local fashion and was known to some of Dalinar's generals such as [[Havar]]. He displayed some disdain for Dalinar's habitual visits to [[firemoss]] dens.{{book ref|sa3|49}} Toh was present when Evi gave birth to [[Adolin]], and brought the good news to Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|49}} Several years later, he moved to the coast of [[Herdaz]], where he lived for at least another decade under the protection of Alethi bodyguards.{{book ref|sa3|66}} He is nowhere to be seen during the [[War of Reckoning]], making his current fate uncertain.
