Eamon Valda is a Lord Captain Commander of the Children of the Light, succeeding Pedron Niall.

[edit] Appearance

He is of average height with a hard, dark face.

[edit] History

He was one of the Council of the Anointed under Pedron Niall. He has reached the level of a Blademaster, being judged unanimously so by five other blademasters.

[edit] Activities

Eamon Valda was sent by Pedron Niall to create dissent in Caemlyn but stopped to follow Elayne when she began her journey to the White Tower.

He encounters Galad Damodred, whom he gives a copy of the book The Way of the Light and then proceeds to accept among the Whitecloak ranks. Niall has word sent to him that he is to go to Amador but Valda returns to the Fortress of the Light and begins to plot with the High Inquisitor of the Children of the Light Rhadam Asunawa to kill Pedron Niall. After Abdel Omerna kills Niall, Valda walks in and then kills Omerna, it's this set up that allows him to become the Lord Captain Commander and to further protect himself Eamon brings all Whitecloaks loyal only to him. He then forces Morgase to submit to him both physically and on paper before leaving to go north to deal with the Prophet.

He engages the Seanchan in the Battle of Jeramel and is forced to retreat without too much loss to his forces. He later forms an alliance with the Seanchan and is given a new headquarters.

It is shortly after that Valda is confronted by Galad about the abuse and supposed death of Morgase. Galad rightfully wins, slaying Valda, making Galad the new Lord Captain Commander of the Children.
