Lord Galadedrid of House Damodred is a young man, and very handsome, nearly too handsome for being masculine. He is slender and tall, with movements speaking of whipcord strength and confidence.

Author: Estella Sharina Agadis

General

Lord Galadedrid of House Damodred is a young man, and very handsome, nearly too handsome for being masculine. He is slender and tall, with movements speaking of whipcord strength and confidence. His eyes are dark, as is his hair, and he wears his clothes as if he doesn't care about them (TEotW, Ch. 40). His hands are long and elegant, yet strong. (TSR, Ch. 17)

He is Elayne and Gawyn Trakand's halfbrother, and son of Taringail Damodred and Tigraine, who once was Daughter-Heir of Andor. He does not know the meaning of envy, and he never lies (TEotW, Ch. 40).

Galad moves with a cat-like grace. He will always do the right thing, no matter who it hurts. He has a good hand with the sword, and only needs to be shown something once before he learns it (TGH, Ch. 24).

Nearly every woman in the White Tower likes to look at him when he's practicing, from novices to Aes Sedai (TGH, Ch. 38).

He does have a sense of humour, but he does not care to mock people (TDR, Ch. 24).

Accomplishments mean nothing for Galad, and he never boasts about how he is very good in strategy and tactics (TFoH, Ch. 16).

His personal sign is a winged silver sword, point-down (TEotW, Glossary).
