Naeff

General

Naeff is an Andoran Asha'man who is strong in air (TGS, Ch. 11). He is one of the few with Rand who is a full Ash'aman (TGS, Ch. 1). He has the lean build of a warrior, along with a strong rectangular face (TGH, Ch. 31). He had suffered from a mild form of madness in which he believed he had a talent that enabled him to see Myrddraal hiding in shadows until Healed by Nynaeve (ToM, Ch. 15).
