"He is born again! I feel him! The Dragon takes his first breath on the slope of Dragonmount!
He is coming! He is coming! Light help us! Light help the world!
He lies in the snow and cries like the thunder! He burns like the sun!"
Allegiance: The Light, Himself.
Title(s): The Dragon Reborn, He Who Comes With the Dawn, The Coramoor, Shadowkiller, Lord of the Morning, Prince of the Dawn, True Defender of the Light, The King of Illian, Tomas Trakand, Nuli.
Favorite Saying: Death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain.

Tall (approx 2m) with broad shoulders, grey eyes and a reddish tinge to his hair, which is generally said to be unruly and not short. He is a head taller than Mat and light of skin. A very fast learner, having only to see something once to know it. Intelligent, strong willed and stubborn. Honorable and chivalrous. After being proclaimed the Dragon Reborn, he has become arrogant and hard.

Born on the slopes of Dragonmount on the third day of the Battle of the Shining Walls, being the last day of Nesan, 978 NE. Tam al'Thor found him and took him back to Kari, Tam's wife. They all settled in the Two Rivers and became sheep farmers. Kari died when Rand was 3 or 4, and was raised thereafter by Tam alone.

On Winternight, 998 NE Trollocs attacked their farm and Rand killed one: Narg. Tam was injured, so Rand carried him into Emond's Field to be Healed by Moiraine. Moiraine took him out of the Two Rivers along with Mat and Perrin, believing one of them to be the Dragon Reborn.

After leaving the Two Rivers, Lan began teaching him the sword. Since then he has become very skilled with it, almost the level of a blademaster.

Having the spark of channeling, he first channeled on the night they left Emond's Field. His second channeling was on Bayle Domon's ship, and his third was in Four Kings, to escape from Howal Gode and Saml Hake.

At the Eye of the World he channeled using pure Saidin and killed Aginor in a struggle over control of the pool. He then fought Ba'alzamon and was convinced he had killed the Dark One. He also helped during a battle in Tarwin's Gap so that the Shienarans could win.

While in Fal Dara, he was told he was the Dragon Reborn, but didn't believe it. He followed Padan Fain with Ingtar to Falme where he again fought Ba'alzamon, this time in the sky. During this journey he was given the two herons on his palms. He also at one point sought death. Not finding it, he decided to follow duty. After battling Ba'alzamon, again he thought he had killed the Dark One. During the battle he was given the wound in his side that never healed. The fight proclaimed him as the Dragon Reborn.

Still not convinced he was the Dragon Reborn, he walked to Tear either to end it, or begin it. The stone fell and Callandor was in his hands. During the battle, he finally killed Ba'alzamon (Ishamael). He then journeyed to Rhuidean and learned the history of the Aiel and became He Who Comes With the Dawn with a dragon on each arm.

Prior to being bonded by Alanna, he was able to feel the presence of Shadowspawn. He, along with Lanfear, captured Asmodean who taught him much about using the One Power. After leading the Aiel out of the Waste, he took Cairhien and Caemlyn and killed Rahvin. He now wants Elayne to sit on both the Lion Throne and the Sun Throne.

Embassies from the Tower and the Tower in exile approached him, one looking to control him, the other looking to ally with him. The Tower embassy kidnapped him and put him in a box, carrying him back to Tar Valon. When he saw Min was also a prisoner he temporarily broke free and killed two Warders, both of which were Erian's. He was then beaten every morning and night.

With all this happening around him he has found it too difficult to cope with if he allows his emotions to exist, and so he has pushed them down and turned himself into iron, feeling nothing. It is this that Cadsuane is determined to reverse.

Rand has fallen in love with the lion sword, the dedicated spear and she who sees beyond. He has now bonked all of them, making Elayne pregnant with twins. As well, Elayne and Aviendha created a link, so that he became bonded to all three at once.

He took Illian using Mat's knowledge and Davram Bashere's army. After this, he rode west with an army and Asha'man, and drove the Hailene back to Ebou Dar temporarily. I guess it is time for him to "bind the Nine Moons."

Using the Choedan Kal, he and Nynaeve managed to cleanse the taint from Saidin. This act ended the Time of Illusions.

His blood mother was Shaiel, his blood father was Janduin. He was raised by Tam al'Thor and Kari al'Thor. His half brother is Galad and his uncle is Luc.

"Who would rule a nation when he could have easier work, such as carrying water uphill in a sieve?"
