Character from The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb
A Rain Wild Trader born marked by the magic in his blood — who fell in love with Malta Vestrit through dreams before they ever met, and followed her into transformation.
Reyn is patient, intelligent, and deeply romantic in a culture that prizes pragmatic trade matches. He courted Malta through Skill-like dream contact before meeting her in person, which means he fell in love with her mind before her face — and he stayed even when both began changing into something inhuman. His quiet steadiness anchors Malta's more dramatic transformation.
Reyn bears the Rain Wild marks — scaling along his brow and hands, slightly elongated features — that mark him as someone whose family has lived too long among the Elderling ruins. His features become increasingly draconic as his Elderling transformation progresses alongside Malta's, though he wears it with less drama and more quiet acceptance.
