Extra: Born in Godan, Tear during the summer of 962 NE. Cahal was raised to hate and fear the One Power. His family moved to the City, Tear, in 971 NE. He spent many nights staring at the Stone, wondering about what it must hold inside. Cahal did not make friends easily as a boy, but his best friend’s father worked in the Stone, putting people to the Question. Cahal admired the man greatly, and began to study the “art” of torture.
The High Lords did not hire Cahal when he asked for a job questioning prisoners. With the skills of a torturer, Cahal went to the Children of the Light. He was quickly accepted as an Inquisitor of the Hand of the Light, the Hand that digs out truth. He is proud of the red shepherd’s crook on his left breast, he is proud of what he has become.
Cahal Sartana is currently sharing a command of a small legion of the Children in northern Andor. Their mission is to "determine the current status of the White Tower." They are to learn if the Tower really has been broken, if so they are to send for reinforcements and possibly lay siege to Tar Valon. The legion recently lost contact with Amador, due to the Seanchan invasion, and has not received orders or reports from the Spymaster in several weeks. Cahal is in charge of a small group of Inquisitors who are to capture and question any Darkfriends they find in the area.
