General
Tod al'Caar is a young man from the Two Rivers, most likely a farmer or a shepherd. He is a year younger than Perrin, lanky and lantern-jawed.
For him, it is odd to think of Rand as the Dragon Reborn. His ability to channel makes Tod a little uneasy, because of the tales his mother presumably told him about men who can channel. Still, he thinks that neither the ability to channel nor the Asha'man are bad and he has thought about what it would be like to be one himself.
(Reference: A Crown of Swords, Chapter 1)
