Aram

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

“The leaf lives its appointed time, and does not struggle against the wind that carries it away. The leaf does no harm, and finally falls to nourish new leaves. So it should be with all men. And women.”
   —Aram

[edit] Appearance

He is slender with dark eyes.

[edit] Aram the Tinker

Aram, the grandson of Raen and Ila, was a Tinker when Elyas and Perrin visited a Tuatha'an camp. He enjoyed flirting with Egwene and dancing with her by the campfire. He debated with Perrin over the Way of the Leaf before Perrin left.

[edit] Aram the swordsman

“They killed Mother! I saw them! I might have saved her, if I had a sword. I could have saved her!”
   —Aram

Later, trollocs attacked the Two Rivers while his camp was nearby. His mother was killed by the Trollocs, leading Aram to ask Perrin to teach him the sword. After some thought, Perrin agreed. His grandparents then abandoned him to Perrin, to whom Aram became very devoted and protective. He also developed a devotion to Faile.

He then follows Perrin to Caemlyn when Perrin is pulled back towards Rand al'Thor. He now seems too enthusiastic about using his sword. He is right in the thick of the Battle of Dumai's Wells. After the battle he is more than willing to kill the Aes Sedai who were taken prisoner and is reprimanded by Perrin.

[edit] Aram the Dragonsworn

Aram went with Perrin on his mission to bring Masema to Rand. When he meets the Prophet for the first time he has the look of worship and wonder on his face. He goes with Elyas Machera to track Faile when she was captured by Shaido Aiel even though he doesn't like the man.

He has found it difficult to control his anger since Faile was taken by the Shaido and becomes jealous of anyone else spending time with Perrin. He goes with Perrin when they spy on the town of Malden, where the Shaido have set up camp. Aram becomes increasingly touchy with Faile missing and Perrin forbids him to go with Perrin to So Habor. He is present with Masema, tortureing Shaido captives when Perrin arrives back and also questions the captives.

Perrin forbids Aram to accompany him when he meets with the Seanchan.

Perrin doesn't allow him to join the force that travels through the aqueduct into Malden. Sebban Balwer reports that Aram is spending much time with Masema, who convinces him that Perrin is Shadowspawn due to his golden eyes. During the attack on the Shaido camp, Aram turned on Perrin. Although a better swordsman he didn't manage to land a blow, though, because Shaido killed him.
