Malenarin Rai
From Tar Valon Library
General
Malenarin Rai is the commander of Heeth Tower in the north of Kandor along the Blightborder. When he learns they are under attack from Shadowspawn and that Rena Tower has likely already fallen, he sends a group south, including his son Keemlin to give warning in case the tower falls. When Keemlin tells him that Tian went in his place, he gives Keemlin the sword that marks him as a man, despite Keemlin still being shy of his fourteenth nameday.
