Character from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
An Asha'man weak in the Power but unmatched in Gateways — he can open portals with a precision and speed that turns the weakest combat weave into a devastating weapon.
Androl is barely strong enough to qualify as a channeler, but his Talent for Gateways is unmatched. He can open portals faster, smaller, and more precisely than anyone alive — redirecting weaves through portals, dropping enemies into lava, or opening a gateway inside someone's attack to send it back. His partnership with Pevara — bonded in a unique double bond — combines her raw strength with his precise Talent to devastating effect. He led the resistance against Taim's corruption at the Black Tower and was instrumental in saving the institution from the Shadow.
Weathered and lean, with the hands of someone who has worked dozens of trades. He wears the black coat but carries himself more like a craftsman than a soldier.
