Talmanes Delovinde
Talmanes Delovinde is a Cairhienin noble and senior officer of the Band of the Red Hand, commanding the First Banner of Horse, known as Talmanes' Thunderbolts.
Talmanes Delovinde is young for the weight he carries. A lord of House Delovinde, he commands Cairhienin cavalry, and Cairhien is his home country, its forces camped alongside Tairen and Aiel armies in the hills near the city. He does his work with a face that gives almost nothing away: no flourish, little expression, plans weighed and orders given plainly.
His loyalty belongs to Mat Cauthon, and it is freely given. He makes no show of it, any more than he makes a show of anything else, but it is settled and it is known. Among the Cairhienin horse that follows Mat, Talmanes leads.
Alongside him serves Nalesean, a Tairen lord, and the pairing is an uneasy one, for Cairhienin and Tairen barely tolerate one another and these two are no exception. Talmanes treats the friction the way he treats everything else, without remark; the work gets done all the same.
