Algarin of House Pendaloan is a lesser Lord of the Land in Tear and a soldier in training at the Black Tower. He is old and has a white pointed beard and a wrinkled face (CoT, Ch. 23, ToM, Ch. 46). He is far from wealthy, but always pays his debts (CoT, Ch. 23).

Relationships
He was very close to his younger brother Emarin. After Emarin learned to channel, he was captured by Cadsuane and taken to Tar Valon to be gentled. Algarin is grateful for it, as his brother survived another ten years afterwards (CoT, Ch. 23).
His servants are nearly as old as he, but they still keep the place clean and tend the forests well (CoT, Ch. 23; KoD, Ch. 19).
All of his living children are married and Algarin thinks that he might give his estates to one of them when it turns out that he can learn to channel (CoT, Ch. 23).
He thinks well of Androl, calling him friend. Androl sees Algarin as a true nobleman, because he has embraced the hierarchy in the Black Tower without complaint (ToM, Ch. 46).
He was impressed by Rand and trusts him. Although he hasn't spoken with often, he is convinced Rand is not mad (ToM, Ch. 46).
He is one of the few people left in the Black Tower in Logain's faction (ToM, Ch. 46).
