'''Matain'''
==History==
He was among the scholars that accompanied Gavilar on his early expeditions to the [[Shattered Plains]] in {{Rosharan date|1166}}. He was trusted by Gavilar, and acted as an advisor.{{book ref|sa1|45}}
He dictated an account of one of the first encounters with the [[Parshendi]]. He had been skeptical about initial sightings of "wild" [[parshmen]] by [[Dalinar]]'s scouting group, and was stunned when several individuals appeared at Gavilar's camp. He provided a physical description of the Parshendi, including their weapons and clothing. Gavilar tasked him with investigating their language, society, and music. Matain still thought they might be a hoax, but was forced to acknowledge their authenticity after learning more about their culture. Matain's account of Gavilar's sudden scholarly interest in the Parshendi was not an embellishment, according to [[Jasnah Kholin]].{{book ref|sa1|45}}
He continued to serve House Kholin as a stormwarden after Gavilar's death; he was present at the experiment of the floating platforms that [[Navani Kholin]] conducted in the Kholin warcamp prior to the [[Battle of Narak]].{{book ref|sa2|35}}
