Delarn is a soldier in the Band of the Red Hand.[1]
Abilities and History[]
He is a competent swordsman and knows sword forms. Mat recognises his use of "Rat Gnawing the Grain" and reflects that "no villager would know that", so he may be nobly born.[2]
Activities[]
Delarn accompanies Mat Cauthon, Talmanes Delovinde, and Thom Merrilin into Hinderstap as one of five Redarm guards. Joline Maza, Edesina Azzedin, Teslyn Baradon, and their Warders are with the party.
Delarn is one of the Redarms with Mat and Talmanes when the villagers of Hinderstap begin attacking everyone in sight. Delarn is pulled from his horse, and Mat risks his life to rescue him, before they are both saved by Thom. The soldier suffered a gut wound before Mat reached him. However, after the Aes Sedai are rescued, Edesina is able to Heal him.
During the Last Battle, Delarn volunteers to be one of the one hundred men of the Band who are to take on the curse of Hinderstap. Although he is not mentioned by name, it is implied that he is later killed while fighting to prevent the River Mora from being dammed and that the following morning he returns from Hinderstap through Grady's gateway to take part in the fight with the Dreadlords and Trollocs guarding the dam.
