Origin
Born and raised in Kandor, Caniedrin became a soldier as many Borderlander youth do. During the Aiel War he fought alongside al’Lan Mandragoran, distinguishing himself as a skilled soldier. He had a tendency to laugh in battle, and was often impatient to fight.
Creation
Caniedrin was created by Robert Jordan for his book series The Wheel of Time, making his first appearance in the prequel, New Spring. He made his first comic appearance in Wheel of Time: New Spring #5, written by Jordan and Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Mike Miller
