Rand al'Thor

Rand al'Thor is the main protagonist of the highly acclaimed fantasy book series . He is the Dragon Reborn, the champion of the Light in the battle against the Dark One, the prophesied savior and breaker of the world, and the reincarnated soul of Lews Therin Telamon.
==Biography==
Rand is a farm boy from a village so remote that they didn't even know they were technically part of a kingdom, Rand had no idea he was adopted until one fateful Winternight when Trollocs attacked his home town. Thereafter he was told by the story's The Mentor that The Dark One was trying to find him (or perhaps one of his two friends, Mat Cauthon and Perrin Aybara), and was convinced to flee. This was just the first step in Rand's journey into discovering that he is a male channeler, The Dragon Reborn, and fated by the Wheel of Time to lead the fight against Shai'tan.
== Appearance ==
Rand is described as quite handsome, with light skin, long reddish hair, and grey eyes that occasionally appear blue. In addition, he is noted as being unusually tall for the Two Rivers at approximately 6’6”, and he has a lithe build with broad shoulders. At the beginning of the story, Rand wears standard “Two Rivers woolens” which is suitable for his life as a farmer and sheepherder. Throughout the series, Rand’s clothing changes to reflect his situation and locations at various points in the story.
== Personality ==
Rand is generally a mild-mannered young man, described as kind and generous, however, like others from the Two Rivers, he possesses the characteristic Two Rivers’ stubbornness and has been known to participate in various pranks along with his closest friends. Years spent as a shepherd has given him a deep desire to protect the people he cares about from harm, often without a care for his own personal safety. Rand is instinctively protective of anyone he perceives as weaker than himself, likely due to being raised in the Two Rivers with an ingrained social value system similar to the code of chivalry. This often makes Rand strongly opposed to putting women in harm's way, even when he knows they are at least as capable as he is. Rand, like many in the Two Rivers, mistrusts anyone from outside the village and is specifically uncomfortable around women he finds attractive, often feeling clumsy or tongue-tied. Rand’s temper can easily get the best of him, however, it is clear that he is wiser than most boys his age and is being groomed to follow his father on the Village Council.
== Abilities ==
As the Dragon Reborn, Rand is a channeler of the strongest possible level. However, due to the Dark One's corruption of the One Power, his channeling abilities will eventually cause him to become corrupted by madness. He is also ta'veren, a focal point of the Wheel of Time.
