Dramatis Personae: M

Maas

Green snake in Salmissra's palace in Sthiss Tor, closest confidant of Salmissra before its death on trying to remove Garion's amulet.

Mandorallen, Sir, Baron of Vo Mandor
(The Knight Protector)

Mandorallen is the paramount of all Mimbrate knights: he is invincible in battle, although he would sometimes appear to be too brave for his own good. He was one of Garion's companions on the quest for the Orb, and is sworn to protect Ce'Nedra with his life. Married to Nerina (after a certain amount of persuasion on Garion's part ...).

"Your friend shows a remarkable lack of good sense," Silk observed to Mister Wolf, wiping the rain from his face. "Those things will turn on him any second now."

"It probably hasn't occurred to him that he's in any danger," Wolf replied. "He's a Mimbrate, and they tend to think they're invincible."

(QoS, Part One (Arendia), Chapter Six)

Sir Mandorallen, Baron of Vo Mandor, was a man of slightly more than medium height. His hair was black and curly, his eyes were deep blue, and he had a resonant voice in which he expressed firmly held opinions. Garion did not like him. The knight's towering self-confidence, an egotism so pure that there was a kind of innocence about it, seemed to confirm the worst of Lelldorin's dark pronouncements about Mimbrates; and Mandorallen's extravagant courtesy to Aunt Pol struck Garion as beyond the bounds of proper civility.

(QoS, Part One (Arendia), Chapter Seven)
