Timeline
Season 1
Eamon Valda has captured an Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah and is keeping her at the camp of the Children of the Light. There, he burns the Aes Sedai, while telling her that it is mercy. He collects her great serpent ring and adds it to more of the same that hang on a chain at his belt.
On their way to Whitebridge, Valda, accompanying Geofram Bornhald, meets Moiraine, Lan, and the Two Rivers youths. He questions them, but Bornhald decides to release them and chase after the Trollocs. Valda then takes a contingent of the Children and heads south.
After a month, Eamon Valda leads a contingent of the Children next to Tar Valon, where he meets the Tuatha'an caravan and recognizes Egwene and Perrin who travel with them. He has them captured and later tortured.
He gives Egwene to choice to channel, and then she would get killed, or not channel, and then Perrin would get killed. In the evening when he comes back to check up on them, Egwene channels and releases Perrin from his bonds. Valda is surprised by Perrin, which gives Egwene the opportunity to get his knife and stab him in the neck.
