Lord Captain Commander
From A Wheel of Time Wiki
The Lord Captain Commander is the highest rank among the Children of the Light. They hold office in the Fortress of Light found in Amadicia. There is a huge flaring sunburst made of gold on the floor of their office. Often ambitious men, they dream to unite the entire world under the Whitecloak banner. To do this, they need to level the playing field by eliminating anyone with the One Power.[verify] Lord Captain Commanders are not executed, but a number have been assassinated.[1]
Pedron Niall was Lord Captain Commander, until Taisham 15, 1000 NE when he was murdered by Abdel Omerna. Omerna was then killed by Eamon Valda, who became the next Lord Captain Commander under the influence of the High Inquisitor Rhadam Asunawa.
The current Lord Captain Commander is Elayne Trakand's half-brother, Galad Damodred. He became Lord Captain Commander when he challenged Eamon Valda to Trial Beneath the Light for the charge of assault and murder of Morgase Trakand. After a fierce battle, Damodred killed Valda and assumed the leadership of the Childeren.
