Source-derived summary

This is a list of The Belgariad and The Malloreon characters. The Belgariad and The Malloreon are two parts of a fantasy epic written by David Eddings and Leigh Eddings. Note: All of the statements (deceased, married) are written from the information by the end of the series.

Protagonists

Note: These characters are the main protagonists to the story. There are many other minor and supporting protagonists, including some royalty.

Garion (later Belgarion), the main protagonist of the story and later the King of Riva, with the titles of Overlord of the West, Lord of the Western Sea, and Godslayer. Husband of Ce'Nedra, father of Geran and Beldaran (named after Polgara's deceased sister). Garion is called the "Child of Light" in the Mrin Codex and the Darine Codex. (Note: he is not the only Child of Light; that is a position passed from individual to individual. At one point it is Belgarath; at another, Poledra; and finally, Eriond.)

Its strongest next move is a source search built around List, Belgariad and Malloreon.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“List of The Belgariad and The Malloreon characters” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, Belgariad and Malloreon provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
