Geofram Bornhald

**Geofram Bornhald** is a character in *The Wheel of Time* television series portrayed by Stuart Graham.

Bornhald is a member of the Children of the Light.

## History

### Early life

Geofram Bornhald was born somewhere in the Westlands. He chose to follow the Way of the Light, and became one of the Children of the Light. He has a son, Dain, who also became a Child of the Light.

## Activities

### Season 1

Geofram rides through Andor with a party of Children, including the Questioner Eamon Valda. He encounters a party of six: Moiraine Damodred, Lan Mandragoran, Rand al'Thor, Mat Cauthon, Perrin Aybara, and Egwene al'Vere. He greets them, asking if they are heading to Whitebridge. Moiraine affirms that she is, and that she is hoping to stay with her sister in the city. Bornhald seems relatively content when the woman says she is not concerned by "wars and witches," but asks her to indulge them longer, as one of the Questioners is present. Bornhald interjects in the questioning when Moiraine and Lan speak of being attacked by a "monster", asking if it took place in Lan's homeland of the Borderlands. When he inspects Moiraine's Trolloc-poisoned wound, he is surprised to see Shadowspawn as far south as Andor. Moiraine tells him that she came from Taren Ferry, and asks him to help the people there. Before she leaves, Bornhald recommends that, even though the Children of the Light prefer to stay clear of Aes Sedai, she ought to seek one in Whitebridge, as only they can heal her wound. After the encounter, Valda informs him that he is taking a contingent of Questioners south, in order to serve a "higher purpose."

### Season 2

Geofram's son, Dain, is serving as a Child in Atuan's Mill. Valda tells Dain that he cannot rely on his father's name for everything.

During the Battle of Falme, while leading efforts to liberate the town from the Seanchan occupation, Geofram kills the wolf Hopper to save Valda from being savaged by the animal. Enraged by the death of his companion, Perrin Aybara kills Geofram with an axe to the chest.

## Personality

Bornhald appears to be one of the less extremist Children of the Light, treating Moiraine Damodred relatively kindly during Valda's interrogation, and even recommending that she see an Aes Sedai to heal her poisoned wound.

## Physical appearance

Bornhald is a somewhat ageing man, with fair skin and white hair.

## Quotes

> We have... one of the Questioners with us today. He will be thorough... but brief.
>
> Bornhald to Moiraine.

## Changes from the book series

Geofram Bornhald is based on Geofram Bornhald  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.

Cairhien (city)

The Foregate in the foreground, and the inner city past the city's walls

**Cairhien** is a city in *The Wheel of Time*.

Cairhien is the capital city of the nation of the same name, and it is known as one of the most political cities in the world. It is notably the location of House Damodred and a sanitarium.

## Overview

The city of Cairhien has a wealthy inner city, and an impoverished outer city called the Foregate. The inner city has large houses, stone-walled facilities, and cobbled streets. The impoverished Foregate was established when many people had to leave their homes in the countryside during the Aiel War, and they set up in wooden shanties outside the city gates. When the Aiel War was over, the people stayed.

As the capital of the nation of Cairhien, the city of Cairhien is home to the ruling monarchy and nobility.

Locations in the city of Cairhien:

* House Damodred
* Sanitarium
* The Foregate, outside the walls of the city
	+ The Crescent Inn

## Quotes

> **Lady Anvaere**Be careful of an invitation from Lady Dhulaine. However you reply, there will be costs attached. Hmm. So, what will it be? Yes or no?**Rand**Neither.**Anvaere**Well, now you'll really have the Houses talking. Outland lord or no, something gives me the impression you're staying in the Foregate, aren't you? It must seem so barbaric, celebrating like this while those poor people starve. Their only hope some ridiculous "Hunt for the Horn."**Rand**The queen's reward sounds worth the risk.**Anvaere**Please, boy. There is no reward. There might not even be a horn, for all I know. The queen doesn't care. She wants her city back. After the Aiel War, the farmers and peasants who survived in the countryside came to the city for safety. And now? The Foregate's overrun. But you can't just kick people out of their homes. They'd revolt. You have to give them a reason to leave. Most will die of exposure or disappear in the Blight. But they don't care, so long as they save a little silver. One less poor mouth for the rich to feed. It's an elegant solution, really.— Season 2 episode 3 *What Might Be*

> **Rand**The Hunt for the Horn is not real. There is no reward. It's all a ploy to purge the Foregate.**Selene**[*chuckling*] Of course it's not real. This is the most political city in the world. Everything anyone says or does is part of some scheme or some game.— Season 2 episode 3 *What Might Be*

Birgitte is one of the Heroes of the Horn, tied to the Horn of Valere, and she arrives for battle when the Horn is sounded. She is a legendary champion, and has been spun out by the Wheel of Time many times.

## History

Birgitte is a legendary hero who is skilled with a bow and arrow. She has had many adventures across many lifetimes, as she is spun out by the Wheel.

### Season 1

Helga Grinwell names one of her dolls Birgitte, after the legendary hero, and believes that Birgitte protects her in her sleep. She offers the doll to Mat Cauthon when he stays on her parents' farm to take back to his sisters. Mat initially refuses, but Helga insists, as she has many more dolls, and Birgitte has "always wanted to see the world." Mat accepts the doll, but drops it as he flees the farm.

## Trivia

* Birgitte was portrayed by stuntwoman Sona Havranova in season 2, who was not credited for the role. Rafe Judkins explained that Birgitte will have a larger role in future seasons, so the show wants to one day cast an actress who can properly bring her to life.

Blight

The **Blight** is a wasteland that lies to the North of the Westlands. It is inhabited only by Shadowspawn.

## Geography

The Blight is separated from the continent to the south by the Mountains of Doom. North of Fal Dara, there is a pass through the mountains.

The area of the Blight North of Fal Dara consists of a thick vine-covered forest.

## History

### Pre-series

The Blight is the home of where the Dark One was imprisoned at the end of the Age of Legends. It is a vile place, and is the homeland of the Shadowspawn.

The Blight itself grows, and in the 950s-960s NE, the nation of Malkier was lost to the Blight. It has been strongly theorized that the Blight has rapidly grown, and even displaced locations such as the Seven Towers precisely because of the Dark One beginning to stir again as the Dragon Reborn began to come of age.

Foolish youths from the Borderlands may try to prove their strength by venturing into the Blight, and many of them die.

### Season 1

After Siuan Sanche tells Moiraine Damodred of her dreams of the Dark One at the Eye of the World, Moiraine leads the group of Two Rivers folk to Fal Dara, intending to take them all into the Blight to reach the Eye.

After Rand al'Thor tells Moiraine that he is the Dragon Reborn, Moiraine masks her bond to Lan, and enters the Blight with Rand as they prepare to travel to the Eye of the World. Traveling through the Blight, Moiraine warns Rand of the corruption within the region. It is here that The Man, believed to be the Dark One, can begin to touch Rand's dreams very strongly.

Rand and Moiraine make it to the Eye, and after stepping on a *cuendillar* symbol, the Dragon Reborn is transported to an imaginary space controlled by The Man. The Forsaken cuts Moiraine from the One Power, but she holds a blade to Rand's throat and threatens to kill him if he chooses the Dark. Rand banishes The Man using his seated man *sa'angreal*, but refuses to return with Moiraine, due to having felt the madness placed on *saidin*. Moiraine notices a broken piece of *cuendillar*, and when Lan finds her there, she realizes that they have not fought the Last Battle, but only the first conflict against the Shadow.

## Changes from the book series

The Blight is an adaptation of the region of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.

Blue Ajah Quarters

The **Blue Ajah Quarters** is a section of the White Tower, containing the private residences of the Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah.

## Residences

### Moiraine's room

Moiraine Damodred has a spacious but somewhat bare room in the Blue Ajah Quarters, and has not visited her official residence in years, spending most of her time out of the Tower in her quest for the Dragon Reborn. She has a candlelit room with stone walls, and a couple of tables. She owns a painting of a girl looking through an archway, which is kept in a closed golden frame.

## History

### Season 1

The opening scene shows Moiraine within her room, narrating the history of the Breaking of the World, as she prepares to embark on a quest to find the Dragon Reborn, accompanied by her Warder, Lan Mandragoran.

Alanna Mosvani visits Moiraine in her room in the Blue Ajah Quarters, and they discuss Stepin processing his grief over Kerene Nagashi's death. Alanna elaborates that her reason for coming to visit Moiraine is to discuss Siuan Sanche's return from Caemlyn, and their summons to the Hall of the Tower to answer for the gentling of Logain Ablar, as well as the various political machinations within the White Tower.

After Moiraine is sharply questioned by Siuan in the Hall and refuses to answer, she returns to her room. She makes use of a *ter'angreal* to privately meet with Siuan, and they spend the night together for the first time in years. The following day, Lan brings Loial to meet with Moiraine in her room. Later, Moiraine is seen contemplating her imminent banishment from the White Tower on her rooms terrace.

Atuan's Mill

**Atuan's Mill** is a town in *The Wheel of Time*. It is located in the Westlands on the peninsula Toman Head, and it is where Perrin Aybara and the Shienarans first encounter the Seanchan.

## Plot summary

### Season 2

While tracking Padan Fain and the Horn of Valere, the Shienarans stay at Atuan's Mill. While first going through town, Perrin comments on the smell of the lion fish being prepared by the water, and Missus Amudee tells Perrin that it tastes better than it smells. Perrin and the Shienarans stay at an inn in town, and that night they are dragged from their beds by the invading Seanchan army. In the morning, everyone in town is rounded up and High Lady Suroth arrives on a massive palanquin with her voice Alwhin and Ishamael at her side. A *damane*, Miri, comes out and points to several young women that the Seanchan soldiers forcibly take away. Alwhin informs everyone that they must swear the oaths to the Seanchan empire. Uno Nomesta refuses to do so and the Seanchan kill him. Everyone else kneels and swears the oaths.

Perrin departs the town, being taken away in a coach by the Seanchan, eventually joining up with Elyas Machera. However, he is later led back to Atuan's Mill, and finds that it has been captured by a company of Children of the Light. He finds Uno's body in a cage, and finds a living prisoner in the cages as well: Aviendha, an Aiel Maiden of the Spear. Although Perrin is treated somewhat warmly by Dain Bornhald, a Whitecloak at the town, he is shocked to see that Eamon Valda is also present there. Perrin chooses to free Aviendha, and the pair of them defeat an entire group of Whitecloaks before fleeing the town.

Meanwhile, Suroth is reprimanded by High Lord Turak for the invasion of Atuan's Mill when she returns to Falme, as Atuan's Mill was too distant for the Seanchan to reliably hold. She has her long nails cut to show her disgrace. It is revealed that Suroth only invaded Atuan's Mill at the behest of Ishamael, as she is a Darkfriend who has her own hidden interests that conflict with Seanchan leadership. An enslaved Loial and Ingtar have also been brought to Falme.

Elena Katab

**Elena Katab** is or was a particularly famous Aes Sedai.

## History

Elena was born somewhere in the Westlands. She studied at the White Tower in Tar Valon, where she shared an adjacent room with Cadsuane Melaidhrin as a novice. Elena was eventually raised to Aes Sedai. Both she and Cadsuane became known as great Aes Sedai, and they were taken as proof of the White Tower belief that great Aes Sedai pairings started with the kind of friendships they had as novices.

### Season 2

Elayne Trakand mentions the friendship that Elena and Cadsuane had as novices to Egwene al'Vere.

## Appearances

Elena is mentioned in the following episodes:

## Quotes

> **Egwene**I'm Egwene al'Vere.**Elayne**Well, it's lovely to meet you, Egwene. You know, they say that some of the greatest pairings in the history of the world were formed between novices in adjacent rooms. Cadsuane Melaidhrin and Elena Katab met just like this. Don't you wonder what the future might hold for us?— Season 2 episode 2 Strangers and Friends

## Changes from the book series

Elena Katab is original to the television series. While *The Wheel of Time Companion* mentions some details about Cadsuane's training in the White Tower, she is not widely known to have had any famous friendships as a novice.

Children of the Light

The **Children of the Light**, colloquially called the **Whitecloaks**, are a military organization that features in *The Wheel of Time*.

## Overview

The Children of the Light are an organization dedicated to fighting the Shadow and scourging Darkfriends from society. They are independent of any crown or country, and men from all over the Westlands choose to follow the Way of the Light. Their organization has been left unchecked for a thousand years, and as a result, their ideology for hunting Darkfriends has grown extreme. They see all channelers as followers of the Dark One, as the One Power was used in the Breaking of the World, and regard the Aes Sedai as "witches" in league with the Shadow.

Their headquarters exists in Amador, the capital of the nation of Amadicia. It is the center of their power.

Jenny

**Jenny** is a dog unofficially adopted by Moiraine Damodred while Moiraine was a novice studying at the White Tower.

## History

### Early life

Jenny was unofficially adopted by Moiraine while she and Alanna Mosvani were novices together at the White Tower. Novices aren't allowed to have pets, so Moiraine maintains that Jenny wasn't her dog, although Jenny slept in Moiraine's bed every night. Alanna knew of Jenny and kept Moiraine's secret.

### Season 1

While working together to keep Logain Ablar shielded, Alanna asks Moiraine what was the name of the dog. Moiraine denies that the dog was hers, and correctly deduces that Kerene Nagashi has asked Alanna to use their friendship to get information from Moiraine. After they stop Logain from an attempt to break through their shields, Alanna recalls that the dog's name was Jenny.

## Physical appearance

Jenny is not shown in the series.

Showrunner Rafe Judkins stated that Jenny is an Irish wolfhound, so she would be a large dog with shaggy fur.

## Appearances

Jenny has only been mentioned, and has not appeared in the series.

## Quotes

> **Alanna**You remember that dog you had when we were Novices? What was her name?**Moiraine**She wasn't mine. Novices aren't allowed pets.**Alanna**But she slept every night in your bed, though.— 104 The Dragon Reborn

> **Alanna**Jenny. That was her name. The dog who wasn't your dog.— 104 The Dragon Reborn

## Changes from the book series

Jenny is an original character to the television series. In the book series, Moiraine did not have any pets, and dogs did not like women who could channel.

Ingtar Shinowa

Lord **Ingtar Shinowa** is a character in *The Wheel of Time* television series portrayed by Gregg Chilingirian. Lord Ingtar is a Shienaran soldier in charge of the hunt for the Horn of Valere.

## History

### Season 2

Lord Ingtar is leading a party of Shienaran soldiers searching for Padan Fain and the Horn of Valere after the Darkfriend infiltration and attack in Fal Dara. Uno Nomesta and Masema Dagar are in his party, along with the foreigners Perrin Aybara and Loial.

Ingtar's party is riding through Arad Doman when they meet up with Elyas Machera, a "sniffer" who is able to physically sense evil. Elyas guides the group to a *Tuatha'an* caravan that had been attacked by Darkfriends. Moving on, the group finds the body of a Shienaran soldier, with Loial deducing that he was a Darkfriend who had been traveling with Fain since Fal Dara. Uno spits over the man's corpse and declares him to be a traitor, but Ingtar demands Uno stop. He states that they will bury the slaughtered, and follow in the morning. Ingtar stands next to Perrin during the burial, and the man from Two Rivers asks him how he can forgive the Shienaran Darkfriend, speaking of his own rage about Fain and his betrayal. After Perrin speaks about his deep rage, Ingtar tells Perrin to consider Fain may have had a reason for doing what he did. He tells Perrin that he may not like the answer, but asks him to at least consider it.

## Appearances

Ingtar appears in the following episodes:

## Trivia

* It was reported that Amar Chadha-Patel was originally cast as Ingtar, but could not return for Season 2 due to scheduling conflicts with *Willow*. His character was therefore changed to Lord Yakota, with Ingtar appearing for the first time in the second season, played by Gregg Chilingirian.

## Changes from the book series

Ingtar is an adaptation of the character of the same name  (*book spoilers!*) from the book series.
