- Story: Born to a Far Dareis Mai on the slopes
of Dragonmount, but raised in the TR, Rand was taken from Emond's Field by Moiraine Damodred, along with Perrin Aybara, Mat
Cauthon and Egwene al'Vere. During
this early part of his travels Rand discovered that he was
ta'veren and eventually learned that he could channel, fighting
Aginor and Ishamael. Told by Moiraine, Siuan Sanche and Verin Mathwin that he was the Dragon
Reborn, Rand rejected the idea until the Pattern forced him to
follow the Horn of Valere to Toman Head where he met the Heroes
of the Horn and fought Ishamael again. After apparently
accepting his destiny Rand ran off alone to Tear to determine
once and for all if he was the Dragon Reborn by capturing the
Stone of Tear. After capturing the Stone, apparently killing
Ishamael and being confronted by Elayne
Trakand's feelings for him, Rand finally began to take
control of his destiny, journeying into the Aiel Waste to be
declared the Chief of Chiefs of the Aiel and capturing ASM to be
his teacher in the One Power. Rand
was then forced to take the Aiel clans that supported him into
Cairhien to prevent the destruction of that nation by the rebel
Shaido, the result of which was that he took control of Cairhien.
He also fell in love with, and slept with, Aviendha, and discovered that the psyche of
Lews Therin Telamon apparently still
survived within Rand's mind and was trying to take control of
him. Upon learning that RAH had apparently killed Morgase Trakand and taken control of
Andor, Rand killed him and therefore took control of Andor
himself. After briefly being captured by Aes Sedai sent by EDA,
Rand reinstated his control over his nations, admitted his love
for, and slept with Min Farshaw, and
confronted the Sea Folk regarding his position as Coramoor. An
encounter with PF nearly killed him, but he was saved by the
efforts of Damer Flinn, and shortly thereafter journeyed to
Illian, confronting SAM there and in Shadar Logoth, and after
Sammael's apparent death being declared the King of Illian.
Other than the Forsaken, Rand's
two biggest worries seem to be his sanity and his love life.

- Story: Mat is a born practical joker, always
causing trouble until Moiraine
Damodred took him from Emond's
Field along with Rand al'Thor, Perrin Aybara, Egwene
al'Vere and Nynaeve al'Meara.
Since then, he has discovered he is ta'veren, been nearly killed
by a tainted dagger from Shadar Logoth, sounded the Horn of
Valere, had thousands of years of battle experience planted in
his head, and found himself in command of an army of 10,000 men.
Mat resists his ta'veren nature, denying that he is important and
always attempting to avoid his destiny, but the Pattern keeps
pulling him back in line, usually quite roughly. Of late, Mat
has been experiencing bouts of responsibility, which he does not
enjoy. Mat is known as a womanizer, but he genuinely loves women
and never presses for more then they are willing to give. His
ta'veren nature expresses itself through extreme luck (he rarely
loses at gambling and the Band never loses in battle), but this
is balanced by the fact that he is drawn to where the battle is
thickest, and often ends up in situations he would have preferred
to avoid.
