Gilan
Halt’s former apprentice, Gilan is now in his twenties, and is the Ranger of Meric Fief. Gilan never misses an opportunity to try and catch his old master out, but Halt hasn’t been fooled yet.
For all his jokes and light-hearted manner, however, Gilan is serious about being a Ranger – he chose to be a Ranger rather than a knight, something which Will finds hard to believe. Gilan is the best ‘unseen mover’ in the Ranger Corps, and he’s the only Ranger who uses a sword along with his knives and bow. Fans of Gilan will be pleased to know that he reappears as a major character in Book Seven: Erak’s Ransom.
