General

Lunal Galgan is Captain-General of the Seanchan forces and Commander of the Return. He is a tall, blue-eyed man with red-lacquered fingernails indicating that he is one of the High Blood. His snow-white hair hangs in a tight-plaited queue to his shoulders (KoD, Prologue)

With the Empress Radhanan dead, he intends to make himself the first Emperor in nine hundred years. If he still does, now that Tuon has returned, is unknown (KoD, Epilogue)

Timeline

  • His ancestors were among the first to support Luthair Paendrag (KoD, Prologue)
  • He came with Tuon and the Return (KoD, Prologue)
  • He meets with his Generals and the Blood to report the overrun forces and camps in Tarabon. He does not object Suroth's order to move every nine in ten raken to Tarabon to find Ituralde, as long as she doesn't move the to'raken (KoD, Prologue)
  • He signs the orders to raise Tylee Khirgan to Lieutenant-General and to the Blood (KoD, Epilogue)
  • At a later meeting, he inquires about Ituralde's current numbers of men. He insists that they need to work to keep their minds off the news from Seanchan (KoD, Epilogue)

Relationships

Suroth loathes him. Officially he should be of a lower rank than she, because she commands the Forerunners. (KoD, Prologue) He clearly states that she is under his command because the Forerunners were subsumed by the Return. She decides to kill him, since he is her way of becoming Empress (KoD, Epilogue)

He admires Rodel Ituralde's strategical skill, even if he attacks his own ranks (KoD, Prologue)

Miscellaneous
