Quotes
"Short and stocky, Kenly was barely old enough to marry or leave home and certainly not old enough for the patchy beard he was trying to cultivate in imitation of Perrin yet he had fought Trollocs at Emond's Field and done well yesterday. But he grinned broadly at praise from Lord Perrin bloody Goldeneyes." (Perrin on Kenly; A Crown of Swords, Chapter 1)
