Lord of Chaos characters

Appears from the start

The Dragon Reborn and Car'a'carn, ruling from Cairhien and Caemlyn and commanding the Aiel. Grief-hardened by Moiraine's death and increasingly cold and suspicious, he is gathering men who can channel into a private army and trying to bend nations and Aes Sedai alike to his will before the Last Battle, all while the taint on saidin works at his mind.

Appears from the start

Rand's luck-blessed friend, now a brilliant and reluctant battle commander leading his own company of soldiers, and carrying dead men's memories of war, a Power-turning medallion, and a black-hafted spear. Loyal beneath his griping, he still dreams of a quiet life he never seems to reach.

Appears from the start

Rand's steady friend, a wolfbrother acclaimed lord of the Two Rivers and wed to Faile, called back to the Dragon's side. Deliberate and dutiful, he answers Rand's need despite his longing for home, wary of the harder man his friend is becoming.

Appears from the start

The innkeeper's daughter of Emond's Field, trained as a dreamwalker and grown into a poised, formidable young woman among the rebel Aes Sedai gathered at Salidar. Ambitious and quick-minded, she is far more than the untried girl her elders take her to be.

Appears from the start

The former Wisdom of Emond's Field, a channeler of great strength and a gifted Healer working with the rebel Aes Sedai, still fighting to reach the Power without relying on her own anger. Proud and relentless, she guards a captive Forsaken and pursues breakthroughs others believe impossible.

Appears from the start

The Daughter-Heir of Andor, a strong channeler among the Salidar rebels, working with Nynaeve on angreal and other objects of the Power. Poised and dutiful, she is caught between her claim to the throne of Andor and her feelings for the Dragon Reborn.

Appears from the start

The uncrowned last king of a fallen Borderland realm and a peerless swordsman, whose Warder bond passed against his will to another Aes Sedai on Moiraine's death. Grim and self-contained, he carries his grief and his sense of doom as he is drawn back toward those he once guarded.

Appears from the start

A blunt young woman who reads glimpses of the future in images only she can see. Having long foreseen her fate bound up with Rand's, she returns to his side, offering him plain counsel and quiet loyalty amid a court full of flatterers and schemers.

Appears from the start

An Aiel woman training to be a Wise One and a channeler, set to watch over Rand. Prickly, proud, and bound by Aiel honor, she is deeply and uneasily entangled with the Dragon Reborn, torn between duty, custom, and her own heart.

Appears from the start

The proud, fierce noblewoman wed to Perrin and ruling at his side in the Two Rivers, come with him back to the wider war. Courageous and jealous of her husband's regard, she is a shrewd manager of people determined to share his dangers.

First appears in chapter 3

A hard, powerful man who can channel, once notorious as a captured false Dragon, who comes to Rand offering to help gather and train other men with the spark. Capable, arrogant, and unsettling, he takes charge of the new school for male channelers, his true loyalties impossible to read.
