Falton

Author: Toral Delvar

General

Falton is a farrier from Cairhien who follows Perrin to Ghealdan. He is a blocky man, bald except for a fringe of white around his head. As with the other farriers, he believes that the reason Perrin wants to look after his own horse is because he doesn't trust him and might send him off (TPoD, Ch. 9).
