General
Peral Torval was an Asha'man from Tarabon. He was tall and short of his middle years with a sharp nose, a sneering mouth and cold eyes (TPoD, Ch. 14).
He was one of the Asha'man that Taim gave special lessons to (WH, Prologue). As such, Torval was more afraid of Taim than of Rand (TPoD, Ch. 14).
Rand did not like him. For him, Torval was an arrogant fool who seemed contemptuous of everything, especially the Asha'man in Rand's company (LoC, Ch. 42; TPoD, Ch. 14).

- After the attack on Rand's apartments in the Sun Palace, Taim mentions Torval in one breath with the other deserters. It can be assumed that Torval was also present, for Taim named Gedwyn and Rochaid, who lead the attack on Rand (TPoD, Ch. 29).
