General

Nasin was the High Seat of house Caeren, one of the nineteen houses powerful enough that they have a say in any succession and the single most powerful house in Andor (CoT, Ch. 15). He is considered scrawny, and is goat faced with thin white hair (TFoH, Ch. 19; KoD, Ch. 17). Though he is the High Seat, he often seemed addled (LoC, Ch. 1).

Timeline

  • After Gaebril is deposed, he becomes one of Rand's sycophants (LoC, Ch. 1).

  • He suffers a seizure during the final battle for Caemlyn and Sylvase replaces him as high seat (KoD, Ch. 33).

Miscellaneous

  • He would tumble any woman he had the chance to.
  • He would sometimes wear a flower in his hair (LoC, Ch. 1) and robes so heavily embroidered they could be mistaken for a woman's (KoD, Ch. 17).
