Jain Charin was credited with bringing Cowin Gemallan, betrayer of Malkier and a Darkfriend, before the Great Lords of the Seven Towers. Gemallen had been instrumental in arranging the downfall of Malkier. Charin disappeared on one of his travels, and his whereabouts are unknown by most. He was discovered hiding in Ebou Dar under the assumed identity of Noal Charin, Jain's cousin. He was encountered several times by Matrim Cauthon.
