Amon Ali Sheida
Atha'an Miere (Sea Folk)
Amon was born on the ship Gayles Soul in
the begining of a huricane off the coast
of Mayene, His father the then Swordmaster
of the Vamour clan gave him his Sea name
that day because at the moment he was born
the storm seemed to calm and latter it had
completly gone away, and so his father named
him Amon Ali Sheida (Gayles Ward). Amon's
childhood was as to be expected of a young
Sea Folk lad except that at the age of eleven
his father was taken on by the Mistress of
the ships to become her Master of the Blades
of the Atha'an Miere. Amon was trianed in
the use of a Rapier and throwing daggers
in the traditional style of his people from
the time he was able to pick up the weapons.
He was also trianed in the art of hand to
hand combat because its not always conveniant
to use a weapon on the icy and slick deck
of a ship.
He is also trained in education,reading (but
not so much writing) being a sailor and ship
biulding. Amon can speak some Shara, common
and is very good with the Old Tounge.
Amon grew up not haveing any Idea he would
end up in the towers, he has never dreamed
of anything but being a cargo master and
having his own crew and defending his people
altho, there always was something just out
of reach to him and he could never grasp
what it was, only that when he wanted to
out run a storm it would happen and he never
seemed to get to cold as many of the others
did. What Amon does not Know is that the
ability to channel rests within him and because
of the strict beliefs of his people his mother
was forced to hide this from him and as many
others as possible until the Mistress of
the ships decided to punish her for her actions.
However she also viewed this as a problem
and insted of humiliating the young man decided
to make him part of an bargian that had been
made with the Car'a'more (Rand Althor) and
send him to the towers to be trianed. Still
not knowing his full potential.
Amon has the typical dark skin of his people
with bright sky blue eyes, he stands about
6'3"with an average build and carries
himself with the piose and grace born of
a lifetime of walking on a moving deck.
