Atal Mishraile

Author: Kyria d'Oreyn

General

Atal Mishraile is an Asha'man loyal to Taim. He is tall with wavy golden hair to his broad shoulders and a winning smile. He is very young, yet, and beautiful with blue eyes and a deep voice (CoT, Prologue).

Donalo Sandomere reports to Logain that he learned Mishraile was having private lessons from Taim (WH, Prologue).

He rides toward Logain, Toveine and Gabrelle when they are out to tell him Taim approved Logain's request to go recruiting. Mishraile cannot see why Logain wants to, because there are enough Dedicated and Soldiers to do the job, but he thinks teaching them can be unnerving after a while. That is why he suggested to Logain that he ask Taim to join his private lessons, which Logain declines (CoT, Prologue).

When he questions Pevara's proposal of bonding Asha'man, Taim strikes him with a Fist of Air, cracking his skull and breaking his jaw. Taim refuses to let Melare Heal him; Mishraile has to survive until nightfall before he allows it, as a kind of lesson (KoD, Epilogue).

"Maybe if you ask the M'Hael, he'll let you join his classes at the palace. You wouldn't be bored then." (Mishraile to Logain; Crossroads of Twilight; Prologue)

"A tall, golden-haired man standing near the dais sneered at her. "Why should we allow Aes Sedai to take any m--" Something unseen struck the side of his head so hard that his feet left the floor tiles before he fell in a heap, eyes closed and blood trickling from his nostrils." (Mishraile on Pevara's proposal to bond Asha'man; Knife of Dreams, Epilogue)
