Lieutenant Martyn Tallanvor was one of the last Guardsmen of Caemlyn to keep perfect loyalty for the Queen Morgase, after Gaebril managed to have a majority of the soldiers (at least those in the Capital) loyal to himself only.

[edit] Appearance

He is tall and good looking, much younger than Morgase but older than Galad. He has dark eyes.

[edit] Leaving Caemlyn

It is Tallanvor that finds Rand al'Thor in the Palace of Andor's backyard and escorts him to Queen Morgase. Later the exact same thing happens except this time with Matrim Cauthon. There is a hint of Tallanvor's dislike for Lord Gaebril when Mat says he is a loyal Lord Gaebril man, receiving a scowl from Tallanvor.

Although perfectly loyal to Morgase he is not servile, and dares to question the Queen, especially asking why she waited so long before doing something against Gaebril's maneuvers. It is when Tallanvor brings up the rebellion in the Two Rivers that finally forces Morgase to start snapping out of her Compulsion. When Morgase decides to leave Caemlyn, she chooses him as escort. She then sees him as a "boy", "young enough to be [her] son", despite Lini's objection, but she changes her view later.

He continues to argue with her and challenges her decision to go to Amadicia rather than somewhere else like Ghealdan. When Pedron Niall enters Morgase's chamber, Tallanvor had to be knocked unconscious before he would let anyone pass, showing his loyalty. He finally manages to escape with Morgase and the rest of her crew with the help of Sebban Balwer.

[edit] Oath to Perrin

While traveling in Ghealdan he and his group are saved by Perrin Aybara when they are attacked by the Prophet's men. They then join with Perrin's army and become attendants under Faile Bashere. He finally admits his love for Morgase while they are in Perrin's camp.

When Morgase is captured by the Shaido, he leaves camp to try and track her down without Perrin's permission. He is found by Sebban Balwer in So Habor. They bring him back to Perrin's camp, where he reports to Perrin about the possiblity of a truce with the Seanchan.

[edit] Plan against the Shaido

He escorts the Seanchan to the meeting with Perrin.

He goes through the aqueduct to enter the town of Malden before Perrin begins his attack.
