History[]
Life[]
Tigraine's origins and life before the Aiel War are mysterious and unknown. She became a Maiden of the Spear at some point, and fought in the war against the Westlands, and fell pregnant. The identity of her child's father is not known, but according to The Man, he had been dead for many years by 998 NE.[1]
Tigraine fought in the Battle of the Shining Walls on the slopes of Dragonmount while heavily pregnant. She began to go into labor, but was attacked by several of the Illianer Companions; she defeated many of the combatants, but one of the soldiers managed to stab her in the side before she killed him. She settled to give birth when Tam al'Thor, Second Captain of the Companions, found her, threatening Tigraine with his heron-mark sword. He set aside the sword and helmet and offered her his hand, which she took, and he helped her through the birth.
Tigraine died as he took the newborn baby. At the same moment, Gitara Moroso had a Foretelling about the Dragon's rebirth in the White Tower, feeling her pain and dying at the same moment that Tigraine did.[2] After Tigraine died, Tam took the baby, and raised him as his own son.[3]
