Timbal al'Kaden
Timbal al'Kaden was brought up along with his half-brother, Akael Sengir, by a Thiefbane
named Necros al'Kaden.
He was found starved near to death, in the middle of the Braem wood by the Thiefbane, and
was taken in as if he was one of Necros' own.
Seeing his uncle, Razzor al'Kaden, running the Red Eagles while Timbal was younger, made
him want to do something with his life.
He began training with every weapon he could lay his hands on, including chains, axes,
long blades, lances, spears, and polearms. He practiced every day in the Red Eagles
practice yard until he saw a poster for recruitment by the Lion Wardens, as they were
known back then.
Saying goodbye to his half-brother, his adopted father, and Razzor, he set off to Caemlyn
to see if he had what it took to join the Lion Wardens.
During his travels towards Caemlyn, he kept seeing visions of past fights and battles, all
within the Lion Wardens of old. Maybe it was a bit of the Old Blood in his veins, but he
was almost positive that there was some part of himself in those other lives.
Arriving in Caemlyn, he applied to the Lion Warden and was told that first he would have to
prove himself in the ranks of the Andoran Cavalry.
He was in the Cavalry a week before he was raised in rank, and 3 weeks before he was deemed
worthy of joining the Lion Warden.
Once joining the Lion Warden, he set out to make a name for himself in the Queen's Elite
Bodyguard, and did the tasks set forth before him by the then Queen Elayne.
Throughout his many years of service, he has helped in the recovery of Queen Morgase and
her return to the Throne, the recovery of Prince Gawyn Trakand from the clutches of Lanfear and
Moghedian, the recovery of King Laman's Sword from the Aiel grasp, and two great wars, one
between his family and the Red Eagles, and another between the Cairhien Rising Sun.
He has fought off all types of assailants from Andor, including Seanchan, Trollocs,
Darkfriends, and the worst type of murderers, and has now been deemed worthy of the rank
Captain amongst the Queen's Guard.
He will defend the Queen and Andor with his life without a second thought, and he will
uphold justice to the best of his abilities.
