General

Mil Tesen is a grizzled peddler who comes across the Younglings when leading his pack-mule through Cairhien.

He calls himself Old Mil.

He claims there is no better price for the small things he carries in ten miles.

He tells Gawyn that Rand has now taken over Andor and that rumor says he killed Queen Morgase and probably Elayne, too.

Quotes

"Aren't you afraid of Aiel?"

"Aiel, my Lord? They's all down to Cairhien. Old Mil can smell Aiel, he can. Truth, he wishes there was some here. Fine trading with Aiel. They got lots of gold. From Cairhien. And they don't bother peddlers. Everybody knows that."

(Gawyn and Mil Tesen; Lord of Chaos, Prologue)
