Astoril Damara
From A Wheel of Time Wiki
| [Source] | |
[edit] Appearance
He has an oiled, pointed beard and thinning, snow white hair that is shoulder-length. He is elderly and his face is creased with wrinkles, but he is still straight-backed and sharp eyed. He has dark eyes.
[edit] History
During the Aiel War, he was one of the generals of the Grand Alliance and sixth in order of command. He was also, presumably, in charge of the Tairen troops in this conflict.
He is very civil towards Aes Sedai - something that is rare in Tear where channeling was outlawed before Rand changed the law.
He has several daughters, one of which is Medore Damara, a member of Cha Faile.
He retired to his country estates years ago, but is still a High Lord.
Estean Andiama says he will probably flip a coin to see which one of Astoril's daughters he will marry, though he is more interested in farm girls and maids.
[edit] Activities
He comes out of retirement and to join Darlin Sisnera inside the Stone of Tear. The Stone is under siege by those who want the Dragon Reborn out of Tear. Astoril is therefore a supporter or Rand and/or Darlin.
When Rand arrives in the Stone of Tear, he says that his arrival is a 'very pleasant surprise' and that he has been looking forward to their first meeting for some time. He treats Nynaeve and Cadsuane Melaidhrin with respect.
