Fail's Brother

[NetSlider]

If I remember correctly Fail has a younger brother. We never saw him at all and I was just wondering if I missed something. Considering that trollocs are over the boarder now I wonder if he's dead.

[Luckers]

Faile had two older brothers who both died in the Blight, and an unknown number of younger brothers, one of whom is named Maedin. We don't know where abouts any of them are, especially given Saldaea has fallen.

[Leyrann]

Maybe they are in the borderland army...

 

Or the army Bashere had.

Shes not very old so younger brothers probably will not be soldiers yet, most likely though they will have been on her fathers estates wherever those are in Saldaea.

If I recall right it was put that she may have been only 15 or so when she met Perrin.

[Luckers]

She is the same age as ewin finngar

[David Selig]

That was changed, at least in the ebook version, now it's "Faile blinked in surprise. Those three were hardly boys. Dav and Elam were as old as Perrin, and Ewin not really that much younger than she herself. ".

[Durinax]

dont saldaeans use boys as messengers though? so they could be with either the borderland monarchs or Bashere (although it would be a bit surprising no mention has happened

[Leyrann]

I think RJ and BS just forget about them.

[lordofsoup]

That doesnt seem like RJ to forget about a character.

[Aiel Heart]

Maybe they'll pop up somewhere in AMoL. Odd that Davram never mentioned them...

[Luckers]

We don't see Min's aunts either, or any of Moiraine's sisters. They simply never wandered into the story. It makes sense, if they're younger than Faile they're probably still getting educated. Remember too that the scions of a powerful noble house would lead very different lives to the son of a border tower commander--for all that they would be trained in soldiering, and later go on campeigns.

[Aiel Heart]

Hmm... Just would think that Faile would ask after them, no matter what they were doing. Moraine kinda cut herself off from her past when she left for the White Tower and as her house is kinda scorned now we probably wouldn't hear anything about her sisters from any political stuff with Rand. I thought that Min's aunts were dead but maybe I just assumed that....

[Luckers]

Maybe she did. We didn't see all of her conversation with her mum.

 

Faile: How are the boys?

Deira: They're fine and we aren't here to speak of your brothers, young lady. What's this about you marrying a werewolf?

[Aiel Heart]

haha good point. He's technically not a werewolf :P

[Entreri]

Fail had brothers?

 

Oh well, completely insignificant they would be

[DemandredFO]

her brothers are hanging with Egwene's sisters(I'm reffering to her familial sisters)

I love the misspelling in the thread's title. Takes me back to the days when Faile was the most despised character on DM. Good times.

[rageofwar1978]

in tgh faile mentions that the reason she left was because her father took one of her younger brothers with him into the blight. that is the last mention of any brothers she has that i can remember atm.

Ooopppsss...sorry about that. I listen to audiobooks (I don't even remember the last time I've read WOT, about 9 years ago and in Russian) anyways, it's interesting that her younger brother is completely missing. All we know that he did go on a raid or such with their father and she was so pissed that she decided to leave. Oh well.

No worries. I figured it was a typo or a translation issue, but I just found it funny because there was a time when people would do it intentionally.
