There's a difference between a meaningful relationship having a significant impact on a character and their story, and when a character is given no other defining traits, beliefs or personality outside of that relationship. Thancred and the twins have their own unique histories, identities and purposes that shape who they are and make them credible, believable characters in their own right, outside of their connections to others. Yet even after a century away of leading a collective of survivors of a horrific apocalypse that continued to torment and haunt them beyond comprehension, G'raha still doesn't really appear to mature or change in any respect other than becoming even more fixated on the WoL and his - in my view, a little egotistical -dream of being part of some heroic epic. His character just doesn't shown much development at all, and I struggle to find what's interesting or appealing about him.
