Full Name: Kheldar ...
Character Type: Male Wanderer
Background: Tar Valoner

Background

Little does Kheldar remember of his mother, although he realises that both he and his father both loved her dearly. He spent most of his early years travelling with his father and acting out the characters of his father's stories. This changed abruptly when the tavern they were staying came under attack. His father then stuck closer and closer to Tar Valon, and although he kept saying "the best stories are the ones that have really happened", it was quite clear he was of no mind to expose his son to another story.

At the tender age of 7, Kheldar's father managed to secure a place in the Tower for Kheldar. He was to be one of the servants. Since that time, although they miss eachother much and still love eachother, contact between Kheldar and his father slowly dwindled down to once or twice per year. His father is travelling once again extensively. He would have asked Kheldar to join him, when he became older, but in the mean time it was clear that Kheldar had found a niche at the Tower.

Of course, being 7 and alone in a strict society such as the Aes Sedai is somewhat harsh. Naturally, there were bouts of mischief, of sneaking around and of feeling lonely. This all changed, however, when Kheldar was punished for a trifling business by helping out at the Tower library. He could read (quite a bit better than most children his age actually), and was amazed at the sight of all those books. After having served his sentence, he searched around for a book on the stories his father always told.

He was noticed by one of the librarians, because he was starting to run down aisles and kept muttering angrily "no, no, no!". She was about to scold him, but received a scolding herself (from this little boy nonetheless) about the organisation of the library. This amused her enough to take the time to explain the cataloguing system.

Needless to say, Kheldar found a friend and shortly afterwards was assigned to the library. Because of his young age he was often sent to retrieve overdue books from Sisters. The reasoning was of course that a cute child might well succeed where strictness and being right might not.

Because of this, Kheldar has slightly distorted view of Aes Sedai. He is always respectful, but he realises they are people (after all, all of them have at one time or another been late in handing books in - so they make mistakes and that proves them human) and treats them much more like that than others.

Of course, this did not sit well with all Sisters. Although he became good enough to smooth things over with most, the ones who kept stirring up trouble were usually of the Red cloth. And so, when the old Amyrlin Seat was deposed and a Red Sister installed, he left the Tower. He did manage to send a message to his father about that he had left, and would see him again some day.
