==General==

Caar was the son of [[Thorin al Toren al Ban|Thorin al'Toren al'Ban]], King of [[Manetheren]] during the [[Trolloc Wars]]; [[Aemon al Caar al Thorin|Aemon]] was his son. After [[Mordeth]]'s evil poisoned [[Aridhol]], Thorin sent Caar to Aridhol to bring the nation back into [[The Compact of Ten Nations|the Second Covenant]]. [[Balwen Mayel|Balwen]], the king of Aridhol, who was under the influence of Mordeth, ordered for Caar to be killed (under the pretext that he was a [[Darkfriend]]).

Caar managed to escape before his execution and fled to the [[Borderlands]] with Mordeth's assassins chasing him. Caar met and married [[Rhea (2)|Rhea]] (who did not know he was a prince) and so set in motion the events that led to his death at Rhea's hands. 

When the armies of Manetheren marched on Aridhol to avenge Caar, all they found was the empty city and [[Mashadar]].

Caar came to be called Caar One-Hand; while no explanation for this name appears in the books, it seems likely that he lost a hand somewhere in his journeys.
