Contents
General
Breane of House Taborwin is an unmarried Cairhienin noble of relatively high standing; she is pretty and has hard eyes that are not touched by her smile (TGH, Ch. 32). Her eyes are dark, and her face is pale as is typical for people of Cairhien, as is her slight height (CoT, Ch. 5).
She never manages to get rid of her haughty manner even when she outwardly accepts her status as a servant, at least not with Queen Morgase. She is meek around Pedron Niall, though (LoC, Prologue).
Timeline
- Breane Taborwin is born as a noble of relatively high standing in Cairhien, high enough that she is invited to the party Barthanes Damodred holds when Rand is in Cairhien. She joins Alaine Chuliandred and Belevaere Osiellin in trying to interest Rand, and he reacts by hurrying over to Thom Merrilin (TGH, Ch. 32). When she next appears, she is a fugitive from ravaged Cairhien and has fallen in love with Lamgwin Dorn. Through him, she ends up following Morgase Trakand, the Queen of Andor, as the latter flees from her 'lover' Gaebril to find support to regain her throne (TFoH, Ch. 11).
- The first man the unlikely group of people tries to find is Gareth Bryne, but when they arrive at his estate Kore Springs he is already gone and so they go on to Amadicia (TFoH, Ch. 56). In Amadicia Morgase tries to convince the puppet-head king, Ailron, to provide her with an army so that she can regain the throne with his aid. Breane pretends to be her servant, but Morgase is not satisfied with her service because she fails to give her the service she thinks she is due -- and because she offers that same respect to Pedron Niall so freely when he comes in and indirectly tells her that she and the others are under guard (LoC, Prologue). A while after, Morgase Trakand is put to the question by Rhadam Asunawa and Eamon Valda and Breane manages to put some spirit back into her with taunting words before a Seanchan officer comes to get Morgase. When she returns Breane wonders what they should do now, and she calls Morgase a coward upon realizing that she considered killing herself because she could see no other way out. Tallanvor and Basel Gill bring Balwer, who says he knows a way out and that the Seanchan invasion will actually help them (ACoS, Ch. 26).
- In Ghealdan, near a town called Bethal, the small group of fugitives are rescued by Perrin Aybara and his followers from some of the so-called Dragonsworn after what appears to be a misunderstanding. Faile offers to take them in as her and Perrin's retainers, and Morgase, who is now known as Maighdin, agrees on behalf of all of them. Breane, Lini and Maighdin are all shocked when they realize Perrin has met both Basel Gill and Lamgwin Dorn before (TPoD, Ch. 7, Ch. 8).
- When Annoura Larisen and Berelain sur Paendrag return with Alliandre Maritha Kigarin, Queen of Ghaeldan, Breane serves them together with Lini and Maighdin/Morgase and is, like the other two, shocked when Perrin calls the Queen by first name (TPoD, Ch. 10). Perrin suspects Lini has told her about his alleged relationship with Berelain, and is sure that she holds it against him (CoT, Ch. 5).
- Breane heads North with Lamgwin, Basel and Lini (KoD, Ch. 29).
