Con Aybara

Author: Atarah al'Norahn

General

Con Aybara is a man from the Two Rivers. He is married to Joslyn Aybara, and their children are Perrin, Adora, Deselle and Paet. The Aybara family lives on a farm near Emond's Field (TEotW, Ravens; TSR, Ch. 29).

He is a slender man, though when standing next to Haral Luhhan, he looks slight (TEotW, Ravens).

Timeline

• Egwene sees Con and Joslyn Aybara speaking to Haral Luhhan, and wonders what they are talking about. They are speaking of Perrin becoming Haral's apprentice. When Haral comments that Perrin is a good lad, Con laughs and ruffles Perrin's hair (TEotW, Ravens).

• When Padan Fain is at the Aybara farm, Con laughs in his face when he calls Perrin a Darkfriend. Fain kills Perrin's entire family (TSR, Ch. 31).

• Con and the rest of the Aybara's are buried beneath the apple trees on the Aybara farm (TSR, Ch. 29).

• Bran al'Vere tells Perrin that his family is dead. Perrin cannot believe it (TSR, Ch. 29).

• Perrin visits the graves of his family (TSR, Ch. 40).

Miscellaneous

As Perrin cries out his grief over the death of his family, many memories play through his mind, including one of his father smiling as he shows Perrin how to use a bow (The Shadow Rising, Chapter 30).

Verin tells Perrin that if there was anything she and Alanna could have done to save his family, they would have done it (The Shadow Rising, Chapter 31).

Padan Fain thinks to himself that he should have restrained himself at the Aybara farm (The Shadow Rising, Chapter 31).

Quotes

"He should have restrained himself at the Aybara farm, but Con Aybara had laughed in his face, and Joslyn had called him a filthy-minded little fool for naming her son Darkfriend. Well, they had learned, screaming, burning." (Padan Fain; The Shadow Rising, Chapter 31).
