Caseille Raskovni

General

Caseille Raskovni is the lieutenant of the Queen's Guard. Before, she was a merchant's guard for nearly twenty years. She is a lean and hard Arafellin (WH, Ch. 7).

Quotes

Caseille Raskovni was one of those who had been a merchant's guard, and her Arafellin accents were not those of an educated woman, but her voice was brisk and no-nonsense. She used the proper form of address, and would until Elayne was crowned, yet she was ready to fight to gain that crown for Elayne. (Elayne about Caseille; Crossroads of Twilight, Chapter 10)
