Bertain Gallenne

General

• Bertain Gallenne is the Lord Captain of the Mayener Winged Guards (ACoS, Ch. 18). He is grey-haired and wears his black eyepatch as another man might a plume in his hat (ACoS, Ch. 27). He is quite completive with Arganda and neither wants the other to physically outdo them (CoT, Ch. 8). Gallene is a suspicious man, he tends to always see the worst possibility first (TPoD, Ch. 7) and suspected a trap when Perrin met with the Seanchan (KoD, Ch. 4).

Miscellaneous

• He fiddles with his reins when deep in thought (TPoD, Ch. 7).
• He rides a tall black gelding (CoT, Ch. 7).

Quotes

"Watch Gallenne; he could be trouble..... all Gallenne knows is attack. He's good at it, but he never sees anything else, and sometimes he doesn't stop to think” (Elyas, The Path of Daggers, Chapter 10)
