Geofram Bornhald

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

Geofram Bornhald was a Lord Captain of the Children of the Light. He was considered the best battle comander in the Children of the Light by Pedron Niall. He was given the oath of the Light by Niall personally. He first appeared in EotW.

Geofram is described as a grandfatherly in appearance, with experience and an even temper. He believed being a zealot is a good thing but overzealousness is a flaw. Unlike most Children he did not quickly assume a person was a Darkfriend but once he was sure he granted them no mercy.

His Legion were the ones who captured Perrin and Egwene, and killed Hopper. After their escape he led the Children to Caemlyn and instigated the riots against Queen Morgase.

Bornhald was summoned back to Amador and ordered to secretly lead a legion of 2000 of the best men into the Almoth Plain. He was to meet a Child of the Light in a village called Alcruna. Once there he was ordered by Jaichim Carridin (Bors) to begin rooting out Darkfriends on the plain. Geofram eventually realized the futility of these orders. Defying Carridin's orders he led his legion to Falme. There he led the Children against the Seanchan. Along with the Heroes of the Horn he drove the Seanchan out of Falme. Geofram Bornhald died during the charge.

His son, Dain Bornhald, is also a member of the Children of the Light.
