Character from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
Marshal-General of Saldaea and one of the Great Captains — he threw his lot in with the Dragon Reborn early and commanded armies with the brilliant improvisation of a Borderlander who's been outfighting Trollocs his whole life.
Bashere is one of the five Great Captains — the finest military minds alive — and the first to commit to the Dragon Reborn's cause. He commands with a cavalryman's eye for mobility and opportunity, making decisions at speed that more methodical generals can't match. He's Faile's father, which means he watches Perrin with the assessment of both a Great Captain and a protective parent.
Short and compact with dark tilted eyes, a thick mustache, and the dangerous grace of a cavalry commander. He wears Saldaean military dress and sits a horse like he was born in the saddle.
Also known as: Bashere, Davram Bashere, Marshal-General Bashere
