al'Lan Mandragoran

Glossary Information

Lan; al'Lan Mandrogoran:
tEotW: A warrior from the north; Moiraine's companion.

tGH: A Warder, bonded to Moiraine. Uncrowned King of Malkier, Dai Shan (DYE SHAN), a title in the Borderlands meaning Diademed Battle Lord, and the last surviving Malkieri lord.

LoC: Uncrowned King of Malkier, a land swallowed by the Blight in the year he was born (953 NE). At the age of sixteen he began a one-man war against the Blight and the Shadow, which continued until he was bonded as a Warder by Moiraine in 979 NE.

After Moiraine vanished into a ter'angreal in Cairhien while battling Lanfear, apparently killing both herself and the Forsaken, Lan's bond to her was apparently severed. For a time, he was not seen nor heard from until he was found and bonded by Myrelle of the Green Ajah. Lan married Nynaeve al'Meara in a Sea Folk ceremony. He is currently accompanying Nynaeve, Elayne, and several others on their way to Caemlyn so that Elayne may stake her claim for the Lion Throne of Andor. It is not known, however, if his bond to Myrelle is still active or if it has been transferred to Nynaeve.

Physical Descriptions From The Text

tEotW, 25:
His hair was long, and gray at the temples, held back from his face by a narrow leather headband. That face was made from stony planes and angles, weathered but unlined despite the gray in his hair. When he moved, Rand could think of nothing but a wolf. ...eyes as cold and blue as a midwinter dawn.

tEotW, 19:
"The way he wears his sword, it's part of him, like his hand or his foot. He makes the merchant's guards look like cur dogs." -- Ewin Finngar, Emond's Field
