Algain It was in Haddon Mirk, Algain remembered, he came crashing through making enough noise for a fist of trollocs. Algain followed him for several days before making his presence known and offering to take him out. Tatham had been full of questions- what was an Aiel doing so far from the rest of his people? Why had he left his clan? In fact, Tatham was always full of questions and had never really seemed to have the time to explain his own situation and quite what he was doing in Haddon Mirk. Algain had answered as well as he felt necessary. "why should I tell a stranger of my disgrace?" He had remained obscure about his reasons for leaving the three fold land and concentrated on his move south along the dragonwall and his stay in stedding shangtai and his teaching by the ogier. He had left the stedding and crossed the spine into the realm of the wetlanders, and had been travelling through Haddon Mirk where he came upon an obviously-lost Tatham, crashing about apparently oblivious to the dangers around him. Tatham seemed very keen to know everything about him and mentioned something about his sensing channelling ability within Algain. Travelling together they got to know each other and Algain even thought he was coming close to understanding Tathams jokes, listening intently for each word and then saying after the point at which he felt the joke was funny, but for some reason this only annoyed Tatham and he gave up after a few days. After they had been travelling together for three days Tatham had convinced Algain to travel with him to the Grey Tower where he could be taught to use the one power- he also promised to show him some more of the wetlands . Passing a glass window Algain caught his reflection- short for an Aiel at 5' 10" and a slim build with short red hair that is missing the tail at the nape of the neck that is characteristic of most aiel and eyes that seemed to shift between blue-grey-green, unlike most aiel his face and hands are not tanned and only slightly darker than the rest of his body but covered with freckles and with scars on his face and neck. He walks with a slight swagger but with an air of caution about him. Like all aiel Algain is very fit and has a competitive streak a mile wide that often prevents him forgiving himself for mistakes he has made and can give him a bad temper. In the three fold land he had been a sorin nai of the shinade aiel. The tour continued until Tatham lead him into a room containing other eager looking hopefuls "well?" he asked eagerly "what do you think?" Algain considered this for a moment before answering. "Why not, might turn out alright after all."
