Description

Height
6'1"
Eye Colour
Blue
Hair Colour
Dirty Blonde
Distinguishing Features
He carries a longsword almost as an afterthought. His hands are often wrapped as if in constant preparation for a spar with his fists.

Cody is a calmer, more mature version of Conor Palfrey. For all intent and purpose they look like siblings with their similar colorings and huskier build, but Cody is a little thinner, a little more chiseled and shorter then the beast of his friend. At 6'1" Cody is average for his height, and has a typical Andoran appearance. Even prior to entering the Yard, he was reasonably built as he was born on a farm with many older sisters so he learned very young how to shovel hay.

Personality

Poised, he is ready and eager to have fun, but has a better sense of.. common sense then his Yard counterpart. He is more of an instigator to Conor's crazy, while at the same time partakes just as quickly. Cody is a little more shy around the women of the Tower, but has he has grown into the Yard and his skills he is a little more comfortable. It is easier for him to talk to the women of the Yard then it is to the women of the Tower. He does have a weakness for those in the Accepted ranks, as he feels they are more fun without all the responsibility of the Aes Sedai rank. Cody is not the proverbial liar of tall tales in the way Conor is, and comes off more sincere for it, however he is less of a gentleman in that respect as he can tell when a woman is trying to play him. Having older sisters does that.

Biography

Cody came to the Tower, because it was the most natural place for him to go to escape his sisters. None born with the ability to channel, the rumors of the Grey Tower reached his farm through travelers between Hama Valon and Baerlon. Whispers became dreams, and dreams made him appeal to his father who supported him in his escape from the farm life with the promise of return and added support. Since joining the Grey Tower he only kept a short percentage of what he was given to himself and the rest has gone home as promised.

Entering the Tower, he took up naturally to the Unarmed skills, taking on the Sword as a secondary. He excelled at both, although Unarmed came more naturally to him and it was while in these set of classes he met Conor Palfry just shortly after Conor was raised, and weeks away from his own raising to Ji'alantin. The two became brothers, as only brothers not of the same blood could become, and together their friendship grew. Continuing training, and taking the occasional trip out of the Tower to train, relax and to challenge each other. Conor brought to the table creativity and tenacity, while Cody provided the stability and logic.

On the eve of Conor's raising to Gaidin, so too was Cody tested.
