Summary
Merin, later Merin Kholin is an Aleth soldier turned Shardbearer and Lord.

He lived life as a peasant until he was around fourteen, wherein he was sent to fight in the army.

For years he served as a low-ranking soldier in the Aleth military during the war against Prallir. But this would lead him to eventually saving King Elhokar from an attack by an enemy Shardbearer, and in doing so was gifted the Shardblade of the fallen soldier. This made him suddenly increase vastly in rank, becoming a Fifth Lord, and earned him the respect of Dalenar Kholin, the king's uncle and parshen, and was invited to become a member of their house, to which he gladly accepted, taking on the name of Merin Kholin.

Afterwards, he came to be tutored and trained in how to use a Shardblade from Vasher.
