General

Aldred Gomaisen is a mercenary whom Elayne hires to defend Caemlyn; he is a short, slender, Cairhien native who wears the front of his head shaved. He wears more stripes on his coat than Elayne thinks he has a right to wear. Birgitte is taller than him when she wears her heeled boots (KoD, Ch. 16).
