Character from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
A Tairen High Lord who initially opposed Rand and then became his appointed King of Tear — pragmatic enough to recognize when resistance is futile and service is honorable.
Darlin opposed the Dragon Reborn until it became clear that opposition meant destruction. He accepted the throne of Tear from Rand and governed it well — proving that competent administration doesn't require enthusiasm for one's monarch. He served loyally at the Last Battle.
Dark-haired and bearded in Tairen fashion, with the olive complexion of the Tairen nobility.
Also known as: Darlin, King Darlin
