There is nothing polished or pretty about the figure evoked by the name Gaidal Cain; his legend belongs to rough edges and stubborn courage. The image of paired swords at his back makes him feel ready for any danger, while the stories around him carry the weight of something older than memory.

Gaidal Cain is a legendary hero of the Horn of Valere, remembered as a swordsman and the enduring companion of Birgitte. His rough, unhandsome reputation stands in striking contrast to the shining polish often given to heroes in song. He is said to be reborn into the mortal world, carrying the sense that old legends continue to walk among the living.
Description
Gaidal Cain is described in legend as rough-featured and unattractive, though the text gives no precise account of his face or coloring. His reputation is that of a courageous swordsman, traditionally associated with two blades carried across his back. No definite details are supplied about his build, hair, eyes, age, or clothing, so these remain open to interpretation. His imagined presence is rugged and resolute rather than graceful.
