Character from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
Elayne's twin brother and Egwene's Warder — a skilled swordsman torn between loyalty to his family, his Amyrlin, and his desperate need to protect the women he loves.
Gawyn is a good man who makes terrible decisions because his heart overrides his head. He chose the wrong side in the Tower coup, spent years trying to undo that mistake, and bonded himself to Egwene as her Warder — a role that satisfied his need to protect but constantly chafed against his need to act independently. His death fighting Demandred was brave, foolish, and entirely characteristic.
Tall and red-gold haired with the Trakand look. He's handsome in a princely way and fights with the polished technique of someone trained by the best swordmasters in Andor.
Also known as: Gawyn, Gawyn Trakand
