[edit] Appearance
He is thin, with grey streaked hair and an oiled pointy beard. He is not short and there is something of a strutting rooster about him.
[edit] To Cairhien
Despite being in service to Rand, Weiramon's noble prejudices and exaggerated opinion of his own abilities make him, if not untrustworthy, at least unsuitable to take charge of matters of great importance. For example, his views on military tactics begin and end with the charge, with no room for deviation. He was sent to Cairhien as reinforcements when the city is attacked by the Shaido while gathering forces as he went.
Due to Weiramon's high rank but poor military tactics, he is sent from the battle of Cairhien to the Plains of Maredo. He is placed in charge of the massive force Rand gathered there for the attack on Illian. There he almost ruined that plan by attackingoff with the cavalry and leaving the infrantry behind, once the attack on Illian began.
[edit] The Seanchan campaign
He goes with Rand when Rand tried to deal with the Illian rebels loyal to Lord Brend, who the forsaken Sammael was posing as. He is placed under Rand's direct command when Rand's forces fight the invading Seanchan army just outside Illian. He broke position to charge a group of Seanchan, allowing another group of Seanchan through to hit Rand's position from behind. He convinced Rand to keep advancing toward Ebou Dar. He leads Charl Gedwyn, Kiril Drapaneos, Bertome Saighan and Doressin Chuliandred into the final assault against the Seanchan. Rand brings him back to Cairhien and gives him servants that are loyal to Rand and Dobraine Taborwin.
He is later seen conversing with Bertome in Cairhien's corridors.
Again disobeying Rand's orders he travels to Tear and is in the Stone of Tear when Rand arrives to talk to Darlin Sisnera. He wishes to gather a sortie and send into the rebels who are laying siege to the Stone of Tear, his own countryman. The idea is squashed by Darlin. Rand sends Weiramon with the rest of the Tairen forces into Arad Doman.
[edit] Fool or Darkfriend?
He seems to be ridiculously stupid thinking of the charge only. It's unknown whether he is really that naive or perhaps he harbors some ulterior motive, the most likely of which is that he is a darkfriend.
- He has been caught out leaving his post once now, and it nearly led to Rand's death.
- He seems to be very friendly with Charl Gedwyn who is a proven Darkfriend, and Bertome also hears him talking to Gedwyn about to say something about "...not taking more risk except from the lips of--" Weiramon cut off as he saw Bertome approaching. it is unknown who he was refering to but it has been speculated that it's the Dark One. That would prove that he's a Darkfriend.
