Origin

Dalresin was born and raised in Cairhien, the son of a noble family. He had three brothers: Aldecain, Laman and Moressin. Unlike his brothers he was a quiet man, and sought employment as a scholar. He and his first wife had three daughters, Anvaere, Innloine and Moiraine. After the death of his first wife he married a fellow scholar, earning the scorn of his brothers. He died shortly after his youngest daughter, Moiraine, left Cairhien to train at the White Tower. 

Creation

Dalresin 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 appearance in comics in Wheel of Time: New Spring #4, written by Jordan and Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Mike Miller  

Major Story Arcs

New Spring

His image is used when his daughter Moiraine is being tested to be raised full Aes Sedai. One of the sisters testing her, probably Elaida a'Roihan, creates a scenario in which Dalresin comes to her begging for her help in the hope that it will cause Moiraine to fail. 

Powers and Abilities

Dalresin was very intelligent. Though he undoubtedly has experience in Daes Dae'mar, the system of political intrigue also known as the Game of Houses, he probably did not use this knowledge much.
