• A

• Ablar, Logain, p. 23 (15)—False Dragon who created war in Ghealdan and surrounding nations before being captured and gentled by the Red Ajah. He got loose during the chaos surrounding the deposing of Siuan Sanche, and eventually was escorted out of Tar Valon by Siuan and her traveling companions. Before he was gentled, he was of considerable strength, and attracted quite a following of loyal soldiers. Min still has viewings of him with a halo over his head, which she thinks indicates that he will become a figure of great power sometime in the future. Recently, Logain has come forward with information that indicates the Red Ajah actually put him up to declaring himself the Dragon Reborn, most likely with the pretext that bringing down a false Dragon would be less likely to be negatively critiqued than gentling a simple man who could channel. See also Dragon, The; Dragon Reborn; al'Thor, Rand.
• Adley, Jonan, p. 214 (295)—One of the men who came for Rand's amnesty; he is now learning under Mazrim Taim's tutilage.
• Aeron, p. 360 (501)—Wise One who Sorilea sends to search the Royal Library of Cairhien. Her apprentice is named Estair.
• Afara, p. 268 (372)—Aes Sedai who went to Tarabon to attempt to help restore order there.
• Aginor, p. 134 (176)—One of the Forsaken. During the Age of Legends, he was one of the foremost biologists of his time, specializing in genetics. He went over to the Shadow because only there could he do all of the experiments he wanted to. He was the one who created the Trollocs, Dragkhar, gholam, Darkhounds, and other Shadowspawn. Some of the other Forsaken think he was insane, for only someone insane would create some of the creatures he did. He was the second one to be released from the sealing on the Bore, after Balthamel. He was trapped close to the surface of the Bore, so he was not shielded from the passing of time very effectively; he emerged as a very old man, so old that his face was wrinkled so that one could barely make out his features anymore. He was killed by Rand at the Eye of the World. Unbeknownst to almost everyone (including the Forsaken), Aginor has been reincarnated in the body of a Borderlander man. He is now called Osan'gar. See also Osan'gar; Aginor (from Book 1, The Eye of the World).
• Ahan, Marisa, p. 200 (275)—Pretty girl from Emond's Field. She comes with Verin and Alanna to become Aes Sedai.
• Ahzkan, Tumad, p. 73 (86)—Heavy-shouldered, hatchet-nosed young soldier, a head taller than his commander Davram Bashere. He has a black beard and mustaches in the Saldaean style. He brings the news of Mazrim Taim's arrival to Rand.
• Ailron, p. 47 (51)—Annointed by the Light, King and Defender of Amadicia, Guardian of the Southern Gate. He is balding, and has dark, wavy hair. His nose is too long, and his ears are to big. He has little real power as king; the true power in Amadicia is Pedron Niall and the Children of the Light.
• Akarrin, p. 520 (731)—Slim Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah. She is convinced that Aviendha will be in novice white before long.
• Akashi, Lelaine, p. 168 (227)—Slender Sitter for the Blue Ajah in Salidar. She carries a dignified air about her.
• Alar, p. 317 (441)—An Elder of Stedding Tsofu. She is Erith's grandmother.
• al'Azar, Milla, p. 34 (33)—Woman from Taren Ferry.
• al'Caar, Jerilin, p. 200 (275)—Skinny girl from Emond's Field. She comes with Verin and Alanna to become Aes Sedai.
• Alesinde, p. 378 (529)—Queen of Andor after Ishara. She kept up the practice of sending a daughter to Tar Valon for training.
• Algoran, Marande, p. 190 (260)—Pretty Altaran noblewoman with a heart-shaped face. Sister of the High Seat of House Algoran. She is powerful enough to resist Ailron, but not Niall.
• Alhandrin, p. 126 (165)—Lord who commands part of the Band of the Red Hand.
• Alharra, Furen, p. 550 (771)—One of Seonid's Warders. She says he has taken wounds before that almost made her faint, but he has never slowed a step.
• al'Meara, Nynaeve, p. 16 (6)—Young woman from Emond's Field. She was the Wisdom of her village, the youngest ever chosen in Emond's Field. She left when four of her villagers were taken away from the Two Rivers by Moiraine and Lan. While the group traveled away from her home and toward her new life, Nynaeve made several discoveries: she could channel the One Power, and had already done so without really knowing what she was doing; she developed feelings for al'Lan Mandragoran, Moiraine's Warder and the uncrowned king of the now dead nation Malkier; and she has a major role to play, as all of her younger friends in the group do, in the years to come. She is very strong in the One Power; only a select few who were alive during the Age of Legends could match her. When she arrived in Tar Valon, she was raised Accepted without any tenure as a Novice, despite not being able to even sense the True Source unless angry, a result of her having to learn some minimal control of her ability without teaching. She was sent on a false mission by Liandrin on which she was almost leashed by the Seanchan as Egwene was. After she returned to the Tower, Siuan Sanche sent her on a mission to hunt down Liandrin and her fellow Black Sisters; while hunting them in Tanchico, she encountered Moghedien and managed to better her in a duel of the Power. Moghedien escaped, but two encounters later Nynaeve once again managed to get the better of her, leashing her with an a'dam in Tel'aran'rhiod. Nynaeve took Moghedien with her to seek out Rand and Rahvin while they were fighting each other, and at the last moment before Rahvin might have won, she nearly burned Rahvin to ash with a giant weave of fire that was most of what Moghedien could draw to produce it; the distraction was enough for Rand to regain control of himself and destroy Rahvin with balefire. Nynaeve now keeps Moghedien under control with a modified a'dam in Salidar. Nynaeve wishes to become Aes Sedai for the sole purpose of Healing; she thinks the Tower meddles in the affairs of nations far too much, and wants no part of it. She is determined to Heal anything short of death, from severing to the wound on Rand's side. Nynaeve felt bad when Moiraine died, because her first thought was not of her, but that now Lan was free from their bond. She was not told that Lan's bond had been passed to another at the moment of her death, or who that person is. See also Mandragoran, Lan; Marigan.
• Alric, p. 427 (598)—Siuan's Warder for about twenty years. He was killed when Siuan was deposed; the shock of what Elaida intended to do masked the usual emotions that accompany the death of a Warder for her at first, and when she was stilled she lost all contact with the destroyed bond. However, when she was Healed, all the emotions came rushing back to her. See also Sanche, Siuan.
• Alruddin, Katerine, p. 44 (47)—Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah. Though she keeps it secret, she is actually of the Black Ajah, and has been for twelve years. She is part of Coiren's embassy from Tar Valon.
• Alsalam, p. 131 (173)—The King of Arad Doman. He was not up to Graendal's standards, so she did not capture him as one of her “pets.”
• al'Seen, Susa, p. 202 (277)—Slight, fluttery girl from Emond's Field. She had always been exciteable. She comes with Verin and Alanna to become Aes Sedai.
• al'Seen, Wil, p. 32 (29)—Man from the Two Rivers who likes to flirt. Sharmad and Rhea are fighting with each other over him.
• al'Thor, Kari, p. 93 (117)—Rand's mother. Kari was not actually his biological mother; Rand's real mother was a Maiden of the Spear who bore him on Dragonmount where he was found by Kari's husband, Tam. Kari met Tam while he was stationed in Caemlyn during his military duties, and the two got married. They returned to Tam's home, Emond's Field, with the child he found on the mountain at the end of the Aiel War, which they named Rand. Kari died when Rand was about five years old; she was the only mother Rand ever knew, and all he remembers of her was her soft touch.
• al'Thor, Rand, p. 20 (11)—A young man born in Emond's Field in the Two Rivers, now proclaimed to be the Dragon Reborn. He is very tall, with curly red-blond hair. He was raised by Tam al'Thor and his wife Kari (until her death around the time Rand was five) in Emond's Field. His real parents, however, were Janduin, the chief of the Taardad Aiel who brought the four clans across the Dragonwall to punish Laman's Sin, and a Maiden of the Spear named Shaiel, who was actually Tigraine Damodred, the runaway Daughter-Heir of Andor. Tigraine gave birth to Rand on the slopes of Dragonmount, in accordance with prophecy; “born of a Maiden, of the ancient blood but raised by the Old.” Rand has a heron branded into each of his palms, which he received from the sword Tam gave him while fighting Ishamael. He also has two dragons on his forearms, which he recieved in Rhuidean to designate him as the Car'a'carn, the Chief of Chiefs of the Aiel. He is not only the Dragon Reborn, but also He Who Comes With the Dawn, the man prophecied to reunite the Aiel, and the Coramoor, the one prophecied to bring the Sea Folk out of the Sea. He can channel strongly, more so than any person who ever lived (except the previous user of his soul, Lews Therin Telamon, who was obviously of equal strength), and is also ta'veren, the most strongly so since Lews Therin as well. Lews Therin's voice has somehow found a new place inside of Rand's head; he talks to him in a mad voice when Rand least expects it, sometimes offering sound advice or knowledge, sometimes babbling, sometimes even trying to wrest control of saidin from him. Unlike Lews Therin, Rand is accompanied by two other ta'veren during this turing of the Wheel, two men born within days (hours, even) of him named Matrim Cauthon and Perrin Aybara, who both grew up in Emond's Field as well. Rand is destined to fall in love with three women (and has): Min Farshaw, Elayne Trakand, and Aviendha. He has already been born on the slopes of Dragonmount of a Maiden, of the ancient blood but raised by the old, taken the Stone of Tear and drawn Callandor, and began conquering “under the forgotten symbol,” that of the Aes Sedai of the Age of Legends. He is working on having the “spotless tower” break and bend knee to him, as well. He is the salvation of the entire world, and as the prophecy states, he will save the world—and Break it again. See also al'Thor, Kari; al'Thor, Tam; Aviendha; Aybara, Perrin t'Bashere; Car'a'carn; Cauthon, Matrim; Coramoor; Damodred, Tigraine; Dragon Reborn; Dragon, The; Farshaw, Elmindreda (Min); Janduin; He Who Comes With the Dawn; Shaiel; Shadowkiller; Telamon, Lews Therin; Trakand, Elayne.
• al'Thor, Tamlin (Tam), p. 38 (38)—Rand's father. He taught Rand about the Flame and the Void, a trick he uses to concentrate and to win archery competitions; Rand found that it is the way he can gain access to saidin. Tam is not actually Rand's biological father; he found Rand as a newborn on the slopes of Dragonmount and took him home with him since Rand's mother was dead. He was at Dragonmount as part of the Aiel War, which he left home to participate in when he was young. He became an officer in the Illianer army, and even achieved Blademaster status, acquiring a heron-mark sword. He married a woman from Caemlyn, Kari, who he met while stationed there. When the Aiel War started, he fought Aiel all the way to Tar Valon and the Battle of the Shining Walls, where he found Rand on the mountain. Tam and Kari raised Rand as their own son. Tam always won the archery competitions (or came in second to Abell Cauthon), and passed his archery skills on to Rand. He also taught Aram how to use his sword. It is not known if Tam knew that the child he was raising was the Dragon Reborn. See also al'Thor, Kari; al'Thor, Rand.
• Aludra, p. 559 (784)—Slender former Illuminator that Mat and Thom saved from other Illuminators when they were traveling through Aringill. She was cast out of the Illuminators' Guild because she was blamed for spoiling the fireworks display for King Galldrian of Cairhien. The problem was actually Tammuz's fault (or so they thought), but she was a more convenient target. The mishap for Galldrian was actually caused by Rand al'Thor. Aludra later hooked up with Valan Luca's menagerie to do fireworks displays for him. See also Luca, Valan (from Book 5, The Fires of Heaven); Aludra (from Book 3, The Dragon Reborn); Tammuz (from Book 2, The Great Hunt).
• al'Vere, Egwene, p. 21 (13)—A young woman from Emond's Field, now one of the Accepted. She has considerable potential with the One Power, and will most likely be one of the strongest Aes Sedai in over a thousand years. It is also thought that she may be the first Dreamer in the Tower in almost 500 years; she trained with the Wise Ones to learn more of this Talent. Egwene is good friends with Elayne Trakand, the Daughter-Heir of Andor, and is also a childhood friend of Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn. In fact, Rand and Egwene were all but Promised in their youth, but both of them feels an almost sibling-like love for each other now; they know that they cannot get married, and don't really want to. Egwene is the love object of both of Elayne's brothers, Galad and Gawyn—she is flattered by Galad's attentions, but she does not return them; she does find Gawyn to her liking. See also al'Vere, Brandelwyn; Trakand, Gawyn.
• Amalasan, Guaire, p. 55 (64)—False Dragon of centuries past, from Free Years 939-943. He started the War of the Second Dragon and conquered much of the world between the Aiel Waste and the Aryth Ocean before a young king named Artur Paendrag Tanreall rose to overwhelming prominence and power. Six Aes Sedai once attempted to capture him by themselves—he killed one of them and stilled two more. It took a full circle of thirteen to finally capture him, and during his trial his followers beseiged Tar Valon and tried to free him, getting as far as the White Tower itself before being turned back.
• Amar, p. 672 (948)—An Ogier; she is Coura's daughter and Elora's mother.
• Amaryn, p. 462 (650)—Sorilea's greatdaughter.
• Ambrey, Merana, p. 268 (373)—Aes Sedai of the Gray Ajah who grew up in Caemlyn. Leader of Salidar's embassy to Rand in Caemlyn.
• Amyrlin Seat, p. 17 (7)—The leader of the Aes Sedai, their equivalent of a King or Queen. She in theory holds supreme power amongst the sisters, and leads the Hall of the Tower at its meetings. Kings and queens of nations strong and weak will come if summoned by the Amyrlin, even if they spend their entire trip figuring out how they will put a knife in her back while there. The Seat is traditionally held by a woman strong both in the Power and in her character. The vote to choose an Amyrlin must be unanimous, as must the vote to depose one. Once chosen the Amyrlin is said to be “of all Ajahs and none”—all previous affiliations with Ajah are ignored (at least in theory). The Ajahs get fairly equal numbers of Amyrlins raised from their Ajah, with two exceptions: no Amyrlin has been raised from the Red Ajah since Bonwhin, who was deposed and stilled for nearly breaking the Tower in Artur Hawkwing's day, except for Elaida do Avriny a'Roihan, the current Amyrlin Seat in Tar Valon; the Blue Ajah has had more than the average number of Amyrlins from its Ajah—four of the last the last five Amyrlins (before Elaida) were raised from the Blue Ajah. These two exceptions to the mean number of Amyrlins from one's Ajah have only added to the friction between the Blue and Red Ajahs over the years. The Amyrlin has a secretary of sorts, the Keeper of the Chronicles, who is traditionally chosen from the same Ajah that the Amyrlin was raised from. The office was held by Siuan Sanche, raised from the Blue Ajah, until she was deposed for her involvement with events surrounding the Dragon Reborn. Her successor was the leader of the coup, Elaida, raised from the Red Ajah. Siuan's deposition divided the Tower, and the faction opposing Elaida plans to raise its own Amyrlin. See also a'Roihan, Elaida do Avriny; Aryman, Deane; Kerenmosa, Rashima; Meraighdin, Bonwhin; Sanche, Siuan.
• Amys, p. 247 (342)—Wise One of the Nine Valleys sept of the Taardad Aiel. Rhuarc's wife (one of two). She is one of the Wise Ones that trained Aviendha and Egwene.
• Anaiya, p. 25 (20)—Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah. She has blunt, motherly facial features. She was very good friends with Moiraine both as a novice and as a full sister. She, like all Blues, fled the Tower when Elaida was raised to the Striped Stole, and now carries a position of considerable influence in the “Little Tower” in Salidar.
• a'Naloy, Roedran Almaric do Arreloa, p. 155 (208)—King of Murandy, at least in name. In reality, Murandians hold allegiance to lords only, and those lords often refuse to pay their taxes to the King.
• Anan, Frielle, p. 641 (903)—Setalle's middle daughter. She has recently become engaged. She wants six boys of her own, and takes to helping keep track of Olver for practice.
• Anan, Setalle, p. 596 (838)—Stately innkeeper of the Wandering Woman, the inn Mat stays at in Ebou Dar. She has hazel eyes, marking her a non-native to Ebou Dar.
• Andiama, Torean, p. 99 (125)—Potato-nosed High Lord of Tear. He looks more like a farmer than most farmers, despite being the richest man in Tear. He was charged with financing the Cairhienin campaign. His son Estean was also involved in the battle.
• Andiaya, Nalesean, p. 109 (140)—One of Mat's subcommanders in the Band of the Red Hand. He is a blocky man, taller than Talmanes or Daerid. He leads the other half of the Band of the Red Hand's cavalry. He keeps a pointed black beard.
• Andris, p. 347 (484)—Sammael's messenger to Rand about a truce. He was sent there to die; how he died indicated to Sammael that Rand was not willing to offer a truce.
• Angla, p. 256 (354)—One of the Accepted. She was part of Anaiya's link during the bubble of evil that passed through Salidar.
• Anjen, p. 427 (599)—Leane's Warder until his death about fifteen years ago. She says that she cried every night for a month after his death, and found tears in her eyes without warning for three months more. For this reason, she did not bond another Warder. However, she now thinks she could handle two or three Warders, if not four. See also Sharif, Leane.
• Annariz, Fionnda, p. 308 (429)—Lady of Cairhien.
• Anshar, Karind, p. 67 (79)—Andoran noblewoman. Her stare allegedly put three husbands under the soil. She was banished from the Palace grounds except for state occasions for opposing Morgase during the Third War of Andoran Succession during which Morgase came to power. When Rand killed Gaebril, she came to him and tried to win his favor—she only wants to advance her own power and influence in Andor.
• Aracome, p. 305 (425)—A gray, slender lord of Tear with a long-smoldering temper.
• Aram, p. 38 (38)—Former Tuatha'an who gave up the Way of the Leaf to learn the sword when the Trollocs killed his mother. He learned from Tam al'Thor, Rand's father and a Blademaster, and picked it up extremely fast.
• Aran'gar, p. 59 (70)—Name given to the reincarnation of one of the Forsaken. It was the right-hand dagger in a form of dueling popular right after the creation of the Bore. The sport fell from common practice, since almost invariably both duelists died from the slow poison on the daggers. Aran'gar was most likely Balthamel in her past life; the soul of Balthamel now occupies the body of a beautiful young woman. See also Balthamel; Halima; Osan'gar.
• Arawn, Naean, p. 67 (79)—A slim, palely beautiful Andoran noble with big, blue eyes and waves of black hair. She sneers a lot. She opposed Morgase during the Succession.
• a'Roihan, Elaida do Avriny, p. 17 (8)—Formerly Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah, now raised to the Amyrlin Seat. She served as advisor to Queen Morgase of Andor for her entire reign, and led the coup that deposed Siuan Sanche and placed her on the Amyrlin Seat in her place. She distrusts anyone not of the Red Ajah (as most Reds do), and thinks she will never trust any member of the Blue Ajah again, even in the slightest. Her Keeper of the Chronicles is Alviarin Freidhen of the White Ajah—she was all but forced to choose Alviarin due to her role in the deposition of Siuan. If she chose a Keeper from her Ajah, she most likely would not have won the support of the White Ajah, and then she would have been stilled and banished from the Tower instead of Siuan. She sometimes has the Foretelling, but not all that often or that strongly. One of her Foretellings was that the Royal Family of Andor would play a crucial role in the Last Battle—this Foretelling occurred around the time the Succession was going on, so she immediately attached herself to Morgase as soon as it became clear that she would be the one to take the Lion Throne. Another was to predict that Rand al'Thor would shake the world on its very foundations—she constantly kicks herself for not doing something about him when he was in front of her, little more than a farmboy at the time. The Foretelling about Rand is obviously deadly accurate, but the one about the Royal Family occurred at an inopportune time; at the time of Elaida's Foretelling, the Royal Family wasn't certain. It may have meant Morgase, Gawyn, Galad, and Elayne (they have all had a large role to play in the recent past), but it is also possible it could have meant the old Royal Family, that of Tigraine, Taringail, Galad, and later Elayne and Gawyn as well. After all, Morgase is just Morgase, but Tigraine is the mother of the Dragon Reborn. Elaida is quite strong in the One Power; only Siuan, Moiraine, Egwene, Elayne, Nynaeve, and a few others can match her strength. See also al'Vere, Egwene; Amyrlin Seat; Freidhen, Alviarin; Sanche, Siuan.
• Arwin, p. 41 (43)—One of the Younglings.
• Aryman, Deane, p. 622 (876)—Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah, later raised to the Amyrlin Seat. She succeeded Bonwhin Meraighdin, Amyrlin during the reign of Artur Hawkwing. Her strong spirit and sturdy administration brought the Tower back to most of its former prestige, all of which was teetering on the brink of disappearing after Bonwhin's manipulations of Hawkwing. She in effect saved the Tower. She is one of the most respected Amyrlins of all time, and part of the reason a large number of Amyrlins have been raised from the Blue Ajah. She was born in the city of Salidar, in Eharon. See also a'Roihan, Elaida; Amyrlin Seat; Kerenmosa, Rashima; Meraighdin, Bonwhin; Sanche, Siuan.
• Ashmanaille, p. 254 (349)—Lanky Aes Sedai of the Gray Ajah.
• Asmodean, p. 15 (5)—One of the Forsaken. He was born Joar Addam Nessosin in the then coastal city of Shorelle, a child prodigy in music and art. He gave his life to the Shadow in exchange for the immortality he received, so he could study and perfect his music. After being released from the Bore, he was coerced by Lanfear into coming with her, eventually to teach Rand to channel without killing himself. Asmodean was drawn to Rhuidean and the stash of angreal, ter'angreal, and most especially the two white statue ter'angreal that linked the holder to the great sa'angreal buried near Cairhien and on Tremalking, which together could Break the World beyond repair. He went there to obtain the male statue, but was thwarted by Rand, who severed his bonds to the Dark One. He then became Rand's teacher, and went into hiding from the rest of the Chosen, who would kill him on sight if they saw him. He was killed by someone of yet unknown identity right after Rahvin and Lanfear were killed/trapped.
• Asra, p. 645 (909)—Woman who tries to save Masic's life. She can channel, and used Healing on Masic; he died from the strain of healing. She was born in Arad Doman.
• Asunawa, Rhadam, p. 187 (255)—High Inquisitor of the Hand of the Light. He wants every woman affiliated in any way with the White Tower hanged as of yesterday, every book that mentions Aes Sedai or the White Tower burned, and the very words banned.
• Atalin, p. 189 (259)—A plump woman, one of Morgase's servants.
• Avendoraldera, p. 278 (386)—A chora tree, cut from Avendesora, the legendary Tree of Life, which was given as a gift to the people of Cairhien from the Aiel. The Cairhienin never knew exactly why the Aiel gave them such a gift, and almost five hundred years later it was almost forgotten that it was a gift from them. The tree, which grew in the center of the city of Cairhien, was cut down by King Laman Damodred twenty years ago, which precipitated the Aiel War. Four clans of the Aiel crossed the Dragonwall under the leadership of Janduin, Rand's father and chief of the Taardad Aiel, to punish Laman for his sin. The deep respect the Aiel held for the Cairhienin, as well as the passage through the Waste they were allowed, was terminated after Laman's Sin—the Aiel now refer to all Cairhienin as “treekillers,” and think nothing of killing or mistreating them.
• Aviendha, p. 82 (101)—Aiel of the Nine Valleys sept of the Taardad Aiel. Formerly a Maiden of the Spear, she was forced to give up the spear to become a Wise One because she had the ability to channel inborn. She has green eyes, and is of age with Rand and Mat. She is more than pretty with dark, reddish hair. Aviendha is one of the three women in Min's viewing of Rand—she also saw that she was to fall in love with him when she went through the three rings in Rhuidean. She denied her feelings for him at first, but when the wagons crossed the Dragonwall toward Cairhien, sweat tents became unavailable and she tried bathing as “wetlanders” did; Rand came in as she was standing before the bath in her skin, and she panicked. She created a Traveling gateway to Seanchan (she does not remember how), trying to get as far away from Rand as possible, into the middle of winter. When Rand rescued her, she decided she could not hide her feelings any longer, and the two ended up spending the night in each other's arms before coming back. Aviendha says a similar incident will not occur, and punishes any Maiden who makes a crack about it (how they found out about something that occurred on the far side of the world on another continent is a different subject entirely). She feels toh toward Elayne for violating her trust, and denies her feelings for Rand until she can make it up to Elayne.
• Avin, Rhea, p. 31 (29)—Pretty, round-faced woman from the Two Rivers. She has dark hair that she has had braided for four years, and is about five years older than Faile. She and Sharmad Zeffar are fighting over Wil al'Seen.
• t'Aybara, Faile ni Bashere, p. 30 (27)—A young woman from Saldaea with long dark hair and dark eyes. She is the daughter of Davram and Deira Bashere, and their oldest surviving offspring. Her two older brothers were killed, and when Davram sent her younger brother off to fight while keeping her at home, she ran away and swore the oath of a Hunter of the Horn in Illian. When she became a Hunter, she renounced her old name, Zarine, at first considering adopting the name “Mandarb”—she chose Faile when she found Mandarb was the name of Lan's horse. She fell in love with Perrin Aybara while on her search for the Horn, who told her that the Horn had been found. She was shocked, but even more so to find out that Rand was the Dragon Reborn and that both he and Perrin are ta'veren. Faile stayed near Perrin, and finally accompanied him to the Two Rivers where she helped fend off the Trolloc attacks; the two were married shortly afterwards. They were then proclaimed Lord and Lady of the Two Rivers. Perrin hated the idea, but Faile insisted they have a modest estate, and even servants, which she trained herself. Her name means “falcon” in the Old Tongue; she is the falcon in Min's viewings of Perrin. She is very protective of her husband, and does whatever she can to make sure he not so much as looks at another woman, even though he has no intention of doing so. See also Aybara, Perrin; t'Aybara, Zarine ni Bashere; Bashere, Davram t'Ghaline; t'Bashere, Deira ni Ghaline.
• Aybara, Perrin t'Bashere, p. 21 (13)—Young man from Emond's Field. He is ta'veren. When he and Egwene got separated from the rest of the group while fleeing the Trollocs on Winternight, Perrin met a man named Elyas Machera. Elyas, a former Warder who found he could talk to wolves, helped Perrin discover the same ability in himself. Perrin's eyes are now yellow, just like the wolves' eyes, and he can enter what he calls the Wolf Dream (known to most as Tel'aran'rhiod, the World of Dreams) with them. Perrin is a childhood friend of fellow ta'veren Rand al'Thor and Mat Cauthon. On the way to Tear, Perrin encountered a young woman by the name of Zarine Bashere, a Hunter for the Horn who took the name of Faile (which means “Falcon” in the Old Tongue) as a more appropriate name for a Hunter for the Horn. The two are now married. Perrin is a very large man—he was always a big person, which caused him to be very cautious since he found as a child that he could easily hurt other children if his temper got out of hand. His size helps considerably when helping Master Luhhan on his forge, but sometimes gives others the impression that he is slow and stupid. He is currently in the Two Rivers, helping to rebuild the area after the series of Trolloc attacks; he and his wife serve as Lord and Lady there, the first lord of the Two Rivers since the Trolloc Wars.

He has three sons (by Dorindha), and is expecting twin daughters (by Melaine).

• Balthamel, p. 134 (176)—One of the Forsaken. He was the first of the Forsaken to be released from the sealing. He was trapped very close to the surface of the Bore, and thus not shielded very effectively from the passage of time; he emerged so deformed by age that he had to hide his face behind a cloth and unable to speak with his own tongue. He was killed by the Green Man at the Eye of the World. Unknown to almost everyone (including the Forsaken), Balthamel has been reincarnated in the body of a young Borderlander woman. She is now called Aran'gar. See also Aran'gar; Halima; Balthamel (from Book 1, The Eye of the World).
• Balwer, Sebban, p. 54 (62)—Personal secretary to Pedron Niall. He has knobby shoulders and skinny legs. He believes nothing he is told. The post is actually a ruse; the pinch-faced man is actually the Master of Spies for the Children of the Light, and the Spymaster presented to the world is just a decoy.
• Ban, p. 679—Dannil Lewin's cousin. He looks jut like him except for a pickaxe nose and long thin mustaches in the Domani style. Note: in the paperback edition, this character is Tell Lewin, Dannil's brother. I don't know who he meant, but Tell would make more sense, I think.

She fled the White Tower when Siuan was deposed, along with most of her Ajah. She is one of the six sisters who hold much of the power in Salidar despite not being part of the Hall of the Tower. She is the recipient of Lan's bond after Moiraine's death, bringing her Warder count to four, at least until Nynaeve is ready to have him as a Warder.

He left Saldaea with an army to hunt down Mazrim Taim after he escaped, and ended up in Caemlyn when Rand defeated Rahvin. He now commands Rand's troops in Caemlyn (those that cannot channel and are not under the command of Mat or one of the Aiel chiefs).

Her tilted, green eyes can be used to intimidate novices and Aes Sedai alike.

• Bela, p. 465 (654)—Short, shaggy mare that Egwene rode out of Emond's Field when she first left with Moiraine and Lan. Bela actually belongs to Tam al'Thor, and Rand suggested her as a way to take Egwene with them.

• Bruan, p. 96 (120)—Clan chief of the Nakai Aiel, of the Salt Flat sept. He is massive, with sad, gray eyes. He seems almost lazy by his voice and gray eyes, but even Rhuarc considers him to be a deadly fighter and a devious tactician.
• Bryne, Gareth, p. 25 (19)—Former First Prince of the Sword and Captain of the Queen's Guards under Queen Morgase in Andor. He was appointed to the position because Morgase had no living male relatives, but was exiled from Caemlyn on a suggestion from Morgase's new advisor, Lord Gaebril. He moved to his private estates in rural Andor, where he presided over the trial of three young women who unintentionally burned a barn: they turned out to be Siuan Sanche, the former Amyrlin Seat; Leane Sharif, the former Keeper of the Chronicles, and Min Farshaw. When these three made an oath to serve him and then apparently broke it, he followed them out of sheer curiosity to Salidar. Once their, he discovered the true identity of the three, as well as that the Tower was truly broken. The Aes Sedai in Salidar persuaded him to command the army they would need to take the Amyrlin Seat from Elaida, since he was the only commander that the Warders thought would be willing and able to help them. He is one of the six best military commanders west of the Aiel Waste, in a league with Pedron Niall, Rodel Ituralde, Davram Bashere, Agelmar Jagad, and Matrim Cauthon. Although neither of them would admit it, Bryne seems to be developing feelings for Siuan Sanche; he wishes to avoid another mistake like his relationship as Morgase's lover, and also never forgave Siuan for when she publicly shamed him years ago.

• Carand, Aemlyn, p. 191 (262)—Andoran lady, leader of a strong House that supported Morgase during the Succession. Morgase exiled her from Caemlyn as per Gaebril's suggestion.
• Carenna, p. 26 (20)—Aes Sedai of unknown Ajah. She was very interested in the eavesdropping trick that Nynaeve revealed; she had already discovered it for herself, but was trying to hide the fact.
• Carilo, p. 660 (931)—Warder on duty guarding Min the night Rand saw her and went into a rage because they had captured her as well as him; Rand killed a Warder with his bare hands and mortally wounded another (who died in Healing) with the sword of the one who fell, all in the moments the sisters spent in shock before they could tie him up with the Power.
• Carlinya, p. 149 (199)—Aes Sedai of the White Ajah. She fled the White Tower when Elaida was raised. She is one of the six sisters who controls much of the action in Salidar, despite not being part of the Hall of the Tower.

• Lady Carlys, p. 67 (80)—Gray, curly-haired, devious Andoran noble.
• Carridin, Jaichim, p. 54 (62)—An Inquisitor for the Hand of the Light, better known as the Questioners; he aspires to some day become High Inquisitor, perhaps even Lord Captain Commander. Surprisingly enough for a Whitecloak, much less a Questioner, Carridin is a Darkfriend. He was given orders (under the name Bors) by Ishamael to find and kill Rand al'Thor, and those orders were strengthened by a Myrddraal who promised to kill another member of Carridin's family every month until al'Thor was dead. So far, Carridin has lost a cousin (found skinned alive in his bed) and his youngest sister Dealda (carried from her bridal feast by a Fade). He expects his sister, Vanora, to be next.
• Casalain, Endara, p. 378 (528)—Governor of Andor during Artur Hawkwing's time. She was Ishara's mother, and the wife of Joal Ramedar, the last king of Aldeshar. See also Maravaile, Ishara; Ramedar, Joal.
• Casban, Galina, p. 45 (48)—Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah. She has been head of the Red Ajah for eighteen years, although she is not a Sitter for the Red. Unknown to almost everyone, she is actually a member of the Black Ajah. She was the one who beat Tarna Feir's block out of her; Galina knew she would choose Red before Tarna did.
• Cassin, p. 312 (434)—Yellow-haired Aiel about an inch taller than Rand. He is Aethan Dor, a Red Shield. He is of the Goshien Aiel.
• Cassin, Romanda, p. 266 (369)—Eldest of the Sitters, of the Yellow Ajah. Her hair is solid gray. She has a high soprano voice.
• Cauthon, Abell, p. 39 (40)—Mat's father. He and his wife Natti live in Emond's Field with their two unmarried daughters Eldrin and Bodewhin. They have two other daughters. He is excellent with a bow and arrow, and is in general a really nice guy; Mat knows of no one that dislikes him. His children are about the age where they start to leave home—twenty, seventeen, and sixteen for Mat, Eldrin, and Bode respectively.
• Cauthon, Bodewhin (Bode), p. 200 (275)—Mat's youngest sister. She comes with Verin and Alanna to become Aes Sedai. She has the spark inborn; she will channel whether she wants to or not.
• Cauthon, Matrim (Mat), p. 21 (13)—Young man from Emond's Field. He is ta'veren. Along with his good friends, Rand al'Thor and Perrin Aybara, he left home to escape the Trolloc attack on Winternight. On the way to Tar Valon, he picked up a dagger from Shadar Logoth tainted with the evil that destroyed Aridhol, which he carried with him for a long time. He was separated from the dagger by Aes Sedai Healing, but doing so caused large gaps in his memory sequence. These gaps were filled and more when he passed through the twisted door to the land of the Eelfinn, where he was granted his three requests: a foxhead medallion that protected him from women's channeling, a way out of the land of the Eelfinn, and the memories of past lifetimes that were the gaps in his memory. Mat's ta'veren qualities manifest themselves particularly well with random events, such as dice games—he almost never loses a toss of the dice, even if the dice are weighted. He has found that battles are the ultimate form of gambling, and along with his newfound memories he can win almost every battle he fights quite decisively. He has four sisters, including Eldrin and Bodewhin, who are 17 and 16, respectively. His father Abell is one of the best archers in the Two Rivers, possibly in the World. Mat has gotten in the habit of carrying concealed knives under his clothes in case he is attacked—his collection would surprise anyone. In the Waste, he met a woman named Melindhra, a Maiden of the Spear from the Shaido Clan. However, she is not the Daughter of the Nine Moons, who Mat is destined to marry according to the Aelfinn; besides, she tried to kill him on orders from her master among the Darkfriends. Mat had to kill her to save his own skin, but regrets it deeply. He has a scar along his neck from where the Eelfinn tried to kill him—which was also in accordance with what the Aelfinn told him, that he is “to die and live again.” He currently heads an army called the Band of the Red Hand, after the army of King Aemon of old Manetheren, and serves in a way as Rand's personal general—this works well, since Mat seems to be a better general than even Davram Bashere, who has earned his good reputation as one of the best commanders alive. Mat does not trust any Aes Sedai, and because of this refuses to take his foxhead medallion off even to bathe. See also al'Thor, Rand; Aybara, Perrin t'Bashere; Cauthon, Abell; Cauthon, Bodewhin; Daughter of the Nine Moons.

Later, his twin sister Marel was substituted without Theodrin's knowledge; after she was revealed, Theodrin could channel whenever she wanted.
• Cheade, Muad, p. 81 (100)—Former Marshal-General of Saldaea. Bashere says he was “mad as a hare in spring thaw”—he searched his bodyservant twice a day for poison, and drank nothing but vinegar and water (which he claimed were sovereign against the poison he was being fed). He once had a grove of oaks chopped down because they were looking at him the wrong way, and then insisted that his troops give them decent burials and funerals as well. However, he never lost a battle, so his insanity was tolerated.
• Chesa, p. 477 (670)—Egwene's plumply pretty maid as the Amyrlin Seat.
• Chiad, p. 565 (793)—Maiden of the Spear of the Stones River sept of the Goshien Aiel. She is short for an Aiel woman, and has blonde hair. Gaul wants her to marry him, but she will not give up the spear. She is willing to be his lover, but marriage is out of the question (or so she says).
• Chiape, p. 131 (171)—One of Graendal's “pets.” She was the Sh'boan of Shara, their equivalent to an Empress. She is newly widowed, meaning she took the duty of Sh'boan from her previous husband, the Sh'botay. See also Shaofan.

• Colinda, p. 360 (501)—Wise One who Sorilea sends to search the Royal Library of Cairhien. She is slender and has penetrating eyes.
• Comadrin, Madoc, p. 127 (167)—General long-dead. Mat remembers reading his book in a past life; he doubts a copy exists today. He met him once, about six hundred years before Artur Hawkwing was born, after Mat lost a battle to him.
• Conel, Paitr, p. 53 (61)—Young boy from Andor who comes to meet Morgase in Amador. He was one of the many Darkfriends who found Rand and Mat while they were in Caemlyn due to the evil of Mat's dagger from Shadar Logoth. He was apparently one of the few people the Whitecloaks were correct about....
• Congar, Daise, p. 32 (29)—Wisdom of Emond's Field after Nynaeve left to accompany Rand, Mat, and Perrin. She is as tall as most men, and wider.
• Coplin, Calle, p. 38 (38)—Young woman from Emond's Field who has a crush on Perrin. Perrin was not supposed to know that Faile chased her with a stick for several blocks when she found out; she now works as a servant for the two of them.

• Couladin, p. 46 (50)—Self-appointed chief of the Shaido Aiel after the death of its last true chief, Suladric. He never went to Rhuidean, but declared himself the Car'a'carn after Asmodean placed two dragons on his arms in a copy of those on Rand's arms. When the rest of the Aiel chiefs declared for Rand, Couladin took the Shaido west across the Spine of the World to ravage Cairhien. Although almost every other clan despises the Shaido, all agree that even they deserved a real chief—they never got one. Couladin died outside Cairhien while fighting Mat Cauthon—Mat killed him, but later remarked that Couladin had to have been born with a spear in his hands to be that good. After his death, the remnants of his clan fled to Kinslayer's Dagger under the command of his widow, Sevanna. His head was placed on a pike while Mat's troops danced around it and the rest of the Aiel spit on it.

After He created the world, the Creator made a prison for Shai'tan, the Dark One, His complete opposite in every way, to keep him from influencing the world. The Creator is bent on non-interference—He will not directly influence events in the world, instead using a “Chosen One” or simply tugging at the Pattern of the Age in hopes that what He wants to occur will occur, instead of just making it happen. The Forsaken and most Darkfriends consider Him to be inferior to the Dark One, despite the fact that He imprisoned him.

• Dalfor, Benji, p. 40 (42)—One of the Younglings. He is barely old enough to have to shave regularly. He has a scar on his cheek that he got while fighting in the Tower.
• Damodred, Barthanes, p. 295 (409)—High Seat of House Damodred, the most powerful house in Cairhien besides House Riatin, the former king's house. He was a Darkfriend, and died the last time Rand was in Cairhien. His estate is now used as Rand's library. His sign is a charging boar.
• Damodred, Caraline, p. 287 (400)—Cairhienin noble vying for the Sun Throne in Cairhien; she is related to Laman, the last king from House Damodred.
• Damodred, Galadedrid (Galad), p. 51 (58)—Son of Morgase's late husband Taringail Damodred and his first wife Tigraine. He is half-brother to Elayne and Gawyn. Stunningly handsome, even Nynaeve has trouble blushing when she speaks to him, and Aes Sedai will often forsook their work to watch him practice (shirtless) in the sword yard. Galad has much skill with the sword, and has acheived Blademaster status in practice if not in name. He disappeared from Tar Valon during the violence that accompanied Siuan's deposition and joined Eamon Valda's band of the Children of the Light. Because of his sword skill, Galad was promoted to an official position very quickly, and now controls his own small band of men. He says he became a Whitecloak because it “felt right.” He is extremely virtuous, and will do whatever he thinks is right regardless of who it hurts, even himself. His sign is a winged silver sword, point down. Galad has feelings for Egwene al'Vere, and although she is flattered by his attentions, she doesn't return his love.
• Damodred, Laman, p. 277 (385)—King of Cairhien about twenty years ago. His cutting of Avendoraldera to make a throne unlike anything the world had ever seen precipitated the Aiel War. The war continued for years until all nations united against the Aiel and even Tar Valon was threatened; the war finally ended when the Aiel killed Laman and took his sword. Because of Laman's Pride, and his Sin, House Damodred lost the throne of Cairhien to House Riatin, and the city never again reached any of its former glory—but it also allowed Prophecy to be fulfilled; the Dragon Reborn was able to be born on the slopes of Dragonmount, born of a Maiden of the Spear but raised by the blood of the old nations. See also Avendesora; Avendoraldera; Damodred, Moiraine; Damodred, Taringail; Janduin.
• Damodred, Moiraine, p. 21 (13)—Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah. Born of a noble House in Cairhien, she is Taringail Damodred's youngest half-sister, and King Laman's niece. She is considered short among her people, and the Cairhienin are already a short people. When it was discovered that she had the ability to channel inborn, Moiraine went to Tar Valon to become an Aes Sedai. Just before being raised to the shawl, she and her friend Siuan Sanche witnessed Gitara Moroso's Foretelling of the Rebirth of the Dragon. Moiraine and Siuan walked away from each other and did not speak to each other again (at least in public), but both held secret communication with each other and dedicated their lives to finding and guiding the Dragon Reborn. Moiraine found the young man she sought on Winternight in Emond's Field, a young man named Rand al'Thor, along with two more ta'veren, Mat Cauthon and Perrin Aybara and two women with the spark of the Power inborn, Egwene al'Vere and Nynaeve al'Meara. When Moiraine was shortly raised to the shawl, she met al'Lan Mandragoran, the uncrowned King of Malkier, who was fighting alone against the Shadow in the Blight; she asked Lan to become her Warder, and he accepted. She is very strong in the Power, stronger than almost all living Aes Sedai. In the Stone of Tear, Moiraine confronted and killed the Forsaken Be'lal with balefire, just before he would have killed Rand. Later, after having an inkling of the future events from the testing ter'angreal for the Wise Ones, Moiraine managed to push the Forsaken Lanfear through the twisted doorway ter'angreal into the land of the Eelfinn, trapping both her and Lanfear there. It is unknown whether Moiraine lives on in the land off the Finn, or whether she is dead, but her bond with Lan has been severed, and other Aes Sedai consider her a legend, not only for discovering the Dragon Reborn but for killing or trapping two of the Forsaken as well. See also Mandragoran, al'Lan; Moroso, Gitara; Sanche, Siuan.
• Damodred, Taringail, p. 190 (260)—A Prince of Cairhien and First Prince of the Sword of Andor until his death. His first wife, Tigraine, the then Daughter-Heir of Andor, bore him a son, Galad, before she vanished, causing the War of Succession. After the war was over, he married Morgase Trakand, the new Queen. Taringail and Morgase had two children, Gawyn and Elayne. He died when Elayne was barely old enough to remember him, which was probably fortunate for Morgase; unbeknownst to her, he had planned to engineer her death and make himself the first King of Andor in a millenium. His real dream was to see his son sit on the Sun Throne of Cairhien and his daughter sit on the Lion Throne of Andor.
• Damodred, Tigraine, p. 277 (385)—First wife of Taringail Damodred, and Galad's mother. She was the Daughter-Heir to the Throne of Andor and daughter of Queen Mordrellen, but she disappeared. Her disappearance set of the Third War of Andoran Succession. When Rand was in the Royal Palace in Caemlyn, several people commented on his striking resemblance to Tigraine; this is no coincidence, since Tigraine is Rand's mother. She fled to the Aiel Waste upon a warning from Gitara Moroso to become a Maiden of the Spear, and gave birth to Rand when the Aiel were fighting near Tar Valon. See also al'Thor, Rand; Damodred, Galadedrid; Damodred, Taringail; Janduin; Shaiel.
• Danelle, p. 155 (208)—Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah, the only Brown sister among Elaida's group of followers and advisors that deposed Siuan. She is young, but is nonetheless the typical Brown, often slight and seemingly lost in her own thoughts.
• Dark One, p. 20 (12)—Name, used in every land, for Shai'tan, the source of all evil, complete opposite of the Creator in every way. At the moment of Creation, the Dark One was imprisoned by the Creator at Shayol Ghul. This prison kept the Dark One from touching the world until it was bored into by humans during the Age of Legends. This hole, called the Bore, allowed the Dark One to once again touch the world, causing new outbreaks of war, treachery, violence, and crime. The attempt to free the Dark One completely resulted in the War of the Shadow (called the War of Power by some, especially those on the Shadow's side), during which a number of important leaders forsook the Light and gave their lives to the Dark One; these people are known today as the Forsaken, and were 13 of the most powerful Aes Sedai of the Age of Legends. The War of the Shadow did not end until Lews Therin Telamon, the Dragon, and his Hundred Companions Traveled to Shayol Ghul and re-sealed the Dark One back into his prison. At the moment of sealing, Shai'tan lashed out at those sealing the prison, driving them insane and tainting saidin itself, the male half of the True Source, dooming all male Aes Sedai to madness as well and starting the Time of Madness. These seals are weakening now, enough that the Forsaken have escaped and the Dark One is once again able to exert influence on the world. These seals were scattered througout the world by Aes Sedai during the Breaking of the World. In order of when they were found, they were placed: (1) At the Eye of the World (broken when it was found); (2) in the hands of Bayle Domon, later pilfered by High Lord Turak of the Seanchan (broke at the battle of Falme), (3) On Seanchan, part of High Lord Turak's collection (broken at the battle at Falme); (4) In the Great Hold at the Stone of Tear (still intact); (5) In the Panarch's Palace in Tanchico (broke enroute to Salidar); (6) One in Rhuidean (still intact), and (7) Found by Mazrim Taim (still intact). Despite being made of cuendillar, the three that remain unbroken can be cut with a knife and would break by a fall from a table. The Dark One is also referred to by other Euphemisms, including Sightblinder, Lord of the Grave, Father of Lies, Grassburner, Leafblighter, Heartsbane, Soulsbane, Lord of the Twilight, Father of Storms, Shepherd of the Night, and (among Darkfriends) Great Lord of the Dark.
• Darksbane, Raolin, p. 170 (230)—False Dragon who declared himself from 335–336 years after the Breaking of the World. His armies beseiged Tar Valon in an attempt to rescue him, an attempt which met with extreme failure.
• Daughter-Heir of Andor, p. 20 (11)—According to Andoran tradition, the first-born daughter of the Queen is her heir to the throne. The Daughter-Heir is traditionally sent to Tar Valon to receive training from the Aes Sedai, although until the current Daughter-Heir, Elayne, most have been too weak to get beyond novice training. See also Damodred, Tigraine; Trakand, Elayne.
• Daughter of the Nine Moons, p. 114 (147)—Woman whom Mat is destined to marry, according to the Aelfinn. She is most likely Tuon, the heir to the Seanchan throne, since their royal assembly is called the Court of the Nine Moons. See Tuon (from Book 2, The Great Hunt).
• Davian, p. 673 (949)—False Dragon between the Trolloc Wars and the War of the Second Dragon. He could channel quite strongly. See also Dragon Reborn.
• Dedric, p. 294 (408)—A Red Shield of the Jaern Rift sept of the Codara Aiel.
• Delin, p. 353 (488)—Name that is being circulated in rumor for the next Queen of Andor. Of course, the name is supposed to be Dyelin.
• Delovinde, Talmanes, p. 109 (140)—A Cairhienin military commander, about three years older than Mat and about a head shorter. His con is three yellow stars on a blue field. His banner is a black fox. He rarely smiles, and reminds Mat of a compressed spring. He commands about half of Mat's cavalry in the Band of the Red Hand.
• Demandred, p. 13 (1)—One of the Forsaken. He has a hawk-like nose and dark hair. Second-best seems to be the story of his life. He was born Barid Bel Medar one day after Lews Therin Telamon, and from the first day proceeded to almost equal Lews Therin's accomplishments, almost equal Lews Therin's strength, and almost equal him but never surpass him in everything. He became one of the Light's greatest generals, once again second in command under Lews Therin. Demandred believed that he was Lews Therin's intellectual and military superior, and was furious when Lews Therin was chosen to lead the Light's forces over him during the War of the Shadow. He developed a burning hatred of Lews Therin, and finally dedicated his life to the Shadow so he could finally better Lews Therin—he believed the Shadow would eventually win the war since Lews Therin was commanding the Light's armies, and that if he, Barid Bel Medar, had been chosen to command them, the Light would have prevailed. When Demandred was freed from the Bore, he transferred his hatred of Lews Therin to the new recipient of his soul, Rand al'Thor. Demandred was recently told by the Dark One to lead his plan to convert or destroy Rand, and promised him to be Nae'blis if he succeeded. Demandred's assumed identity and whereabouts are unknown. See also Medar, Barid Bel.

• Dowtry, Elam, p. 35 (34)—A young man from Emond's Field. He is as old as Perrin, and left home to see the world after he heard Perrin's stories.
• Dragon, p. 16 (5)—Name by which Lews Therin Telamon was known during the War of the Shadow. His rebirth, the Dragon Reborn, is now alive and fulfilling all of the prophecies set to accompany him. See also al'Thor, Rand; Dragon Reborn; Telamon, Lews Therin.
• Dragon Reborn, p. 20 (11)—According to the Karaethon Cycle, the Prophecies of the Dragon, the man who is the Rebirth of Lews Therin Telamon, the man known as the Dragon during the War of the Shadow. Over the years, many men have claimed to be the Dragon Reborn, even men who could not channel. The true Dragon has been Reborn in a young man named Rand al'Thor, a shepherd from Emond's Field.

• Ebram, p. 138 (183)—A tall, well-made man from Arad Doman. He would be in Graendal's collection if he was more than a merchant's son.
• Echiko, p. 421 (591)—Accepted who jumped from the top of the Tower when Myrelle was a novice, convinced she had learned how to fly.
• Edarra, p. 308 (428)—Wise One of the Nader sept of the Shiande Aiel. She has blue eyes, and is not much older than Rand.

• Ella, p. 317 (441)—Covril's mother, Soong's daughter.

• Eltring, Lini, p. 48 (54)—Childhood nurse to Maighdin, Morgase, and Elayne Trakand. She has many wise sayings, which Elayne and Morgase are fond of quoting to themselves and others (probably because they have been ingrained into their minds so much). She went with Morgase when she fled Andor to Amadicia.
• Emara, p. 220 (303)—Small Accepted with gray eyes and a quick grin. She grew up in Illian. She dislikes Siuan and Leane.
• Emerys, p. 445 (625)—Wise One of the Shaido Aiel. Supports Sevanna.
• Enaila, p. 67 (79)—A Maiden of the Spear with red, fiery hair. She is short for an Aiel, a point of sensitivity for her. She is part of Rand's honor guard.
• Eriff, Demira, p. 536 (754)—Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah. Part of Salidar's embassy to Rand. She only spoke of two things: meeting Rand, and seeing the school he had started. In her eyes, no one who had started a school or a library or any other institution of knowledge could possibly be all bad. She grew up in Arad Doman.
• Erim, p. 102 (130)—Clan chief of the Chareen Aiel. He has red hair, half of which is white.
• Erith, p. 317 (441)—An Ogier from Stedding Tsofu, daughter of Iva daughter of Alar. She wants to marry Loial, and although he likes her, he is avoiding her because he is convinced she will not want to live a nomadic life such as he needs to lead for the next few years in order to write his book.

  F

• Fain, Padan, p. 201 (277)—Former peddler that frequently came to Emond's Field. A Darkfriend, he was given orders to locate the Dragon Reborn and narrowed it to three boys in Emond's Field. While persuing them, he encountered the spirit of Mordeth in Aridhol, now called Shadar Logoth. Mordeth attempted to consume Fain's soul, but instead the two souls merged, producing something more evil than either of them alone. Fain no longer takes his orders from the Shadow; he has his own evil agenda. It is said, “The look of the Eyeless is fear,” from observing that a Myrddraal's look causes fear in the hearts of men. Fain's look has that effect on Myrddraal—Fades feel the same fear of Fain as men feel from a Fade. Fain is also called Ordeith, a name he adopted to become a Whitecloak officer. He is perhaps the most evil man alive. See also Mordeth; Ordeith.
• Faisar, Asidim, p. 438 (615)—Whitecloak who Niall sent to Tarabon to find out if anything could be salvaged.
• Faiselle, p. 468 (660)—Sitter in the Hall of the Tower in Salidar who disapproves of Egwene being raised Amyrlin.
• Faral, Dimir, p. 375 (523)—Whitecloak who served as a scout for the assassination attempt on Rand. Rand hanged his companions, but sent Faral back to Amador to tell Pedron Niall that Rand would some day hang him for what he had done.
• Farshaw, Elmindreda (Min), p. 22 (15)—A young woman from Baerlon. She has a special ability that few besides herself know about: she sees images and auras around people, especially around Aes Sedai and Warders, that foretell their futures. Min does not always know what these viewings mean, but when she does, it will happen; it is only a question of how and when. Min was fascinated by the number of images she saw around Rand, especially the one she saw that included herself: he is destined to fall in love with three different women, one of which is herself. She usually dresses in attire reserved for men; this habit was picked up when growing up with her father, who was a miner. However, once she started to develop feelings for Rand, she began to wear more traditionally feminine attire. Min was in Tar Valon helping Siuan with her viewings' information when Siuan was deposed, and it was Min that freed Siuan and Leane from the dungeon. She accompanied the two former leaders of the Aes Sedai to Salidar; once there, she left for Caemlyn with Salidar's embassy to Rand.
• Farstrider, Jain, p. 157 (211)—Hero of legend. There is a book about him, The Travels of Jain Farstrider, that Mat intends to read but never has. The book is quite popular with his friends, including Elayne, Egwene, and Rand.
• Feir, Tarna, p. 179 (244)—Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah. She has pale yellow hair and blue eyes that could freeze the Sun. She was a wilder, and had her block beaten out of her by Galina Casban. Note: Tarna says at one point that Galina “knew [her] Ajah long before [she] did, and took a personal interest in [her].” This is just speculation, but I think it was the Black (not Red) Ajah that Galina knew she would choose. It certainly fits with the idea of most Aes Sedai in the Tower being Black, and with Galina's personal interest in Tarna. Again, it's just speculation....
• Fel, Herid, p. 297 (413)—Stout Andoran who ended up in the Royal Library in Cairhien. He studies history and philosophy.
• Finchey, Dagdara, p. 173 (235)—Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah. She is as wide as most men and taller than most. She fled the Tower when Siuan was deposed.
• Finngar, Ewin, p. 35 (34)—Young man from Emond's Field. He is as old as Faile, and left home to see the world after he heard Perrin's stories.
• Flinn, Damer, p. 86 (106)—Crease-faced old man with a limp who comes for Rand's amnesty. He is bald with a fringe of white hair around the edge of his head. He was in the Queen's Guards until he took a Murandian lance in the thigh. He can channel.
• Freidhen, Alviarin, p. 154 (207)—Aes Sedai of the White Ajah, but secretly of the Black. Typical of most Whites, she has a very cool, collected personality. She serves as Keeper of the Chronicles under Elaida, despite being of a different Ajah than Elaida was raised from. Elaida was all but forced to choose Alviarin in order to gain the support of the White Ajah when bringing charges against Siuan. Without Alviarin as Keeper, the White Ajah would most likely have been divided over whether to depose Siuan, and only the Red would be behind Elaida, which would most likely have led to the stilling of Elaida and possibly even the dismantling of the Red Ajah. See also a'Roihan, Elaida do Avriny; Keeper of the Chronicles.
• Frende, Janya, p. 25 (20)—Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah. She is extraordinarily neat, especially for a Brown—every one of her short, dark hairs is exactly in place at all times.

  G

• Lord Gaebril, p. 48 (53)—Man who came to Caemlyn just as riots sprang up throughout the city. He joined and led the faction that restored order in the city, and upon Morgase's return, he gave her her kingdom in one piece, as it was when she left. Allegedly, she was so happy that he had done this that she made Gaebril her new advisor. However, during Mat's trip through Caemlyn to deliver Elayne's letter, Mat overheard Gaebril ordering someone to kill Elayne and anyone else with her—he tried to find a way to report this information to Morgase, but ended up telling Elayne. Gaebril was discovered to be Rahvin, one of the Forsaken, who has a preference to having pretty women around him. His “pretty woman” is Morgase, and he planned to wrest control of Andor from her. Morgase realized he was controlling her and left the country so quickly a rumor sprang up that she had been killed; when Caemlyn was taken by Rand and Rahvin killed, the rumor changed to say that Rand had killed Morgase, instead of Gaebril. See also Rahvin.
• Gaelin, Edelle, p. 34 (33)—Woman from Watch Hill. She is thin and has gray hair. She thinks she should have Daise Congar's position as Wisdom of Emond's Field, not just be on its Women's Circle.
• Gahand, Daria, p. 627 (883)—Author of Essays on Reason, a book Rand keeps in his bedchamber. He found it tough going, but Min seems to like it.
• Gaul, p. 565 (792)—Aiel of the Imran sept of the Shaarad Aiel. He is Shae'en M'taal, a Stone Dog. Perrin rescued him from his entrapment in Remen, and Gaul now walks at Perrin's side during battle and elsewhere. Gaul wants to marry Chiad, but though she agrees to become his lover, she will not give up the spear for him.
• Gedwyn, Charl, p. 691 (975)—One of the Asha'man. He tries to strike Gawyn down as the Younglings flee the Aes Sedai camp, but Rand beats him away.
• Gera, p. 151 (202)—One of the cooks in Salidar. She dreamed her way into Tel'aran'rhiod for a brief moment while the six sisters and two Accepted were there; she was dreaming of being an Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, much to the dismay of Carlinya.
• Getares, Esmara, p. 378 (528)—Ruler after Artur Hawkwing's death. Her attempt to become High Queen about forty years before the end of the War of the Hundred Years ended when she invaded Andor and spent her last twelve years as a guest of Queen Telaisien. She was ultimately assassinated, although no one is sure why.
• Ghodar, Zenare, p. 425 (595)—Plump Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah. In Salidar.
• Gill, Basel, p. 48 (53)—Pink-cheeked man with graying hair who follows Morgase. He was the innkeeper of the Queen's Blessing, an inn in Caemlyn which at one time housed Rand and Mat while they were waiting for Moiraine and the rest of the group to catch up to them.
• Goldeneyes, Perrin, p. 30 (27)—Nickname given to Perrin Aybara by people in the Two Rivers; they chose it because of his wolf-like eye color.
• Grady, Jur, p. 88 (106)—Stocky, dark-eyed man, about seven years older than Rand. He comes for the Amnesty.
• Grady, Sora, p. 88 (109)—Jur's wife. She is afraid of what her husband can do.
• Graendal, p. 15 (5)—One of the Forsaken. A fleshy woman with curled red-gold hair. Before the War of the Shadow, she became the leading authority on diseases of the brain, and spent much of her life dealing with the insane, schizophrenic, and others well beyond the touch of Healing. She was the best at subtle manipulations of the human mind that ever lived. After the Bore was drilled, she went through a change after she realized the world could never live up to her standards. So she began dressing in the very way she once mocked, with low cut dresses that clung to her and left little to the imagination. After being released from the Bore, Graendal took up residence in Arad Doman, capturing several members of the Royal Family to use as servants. All of her servants are not only physically well shaped and good-looking, but also had power in their society before she captured them. She includes in her collection the sister of the Domani king, two rulers from Shara, and other important figures. See also The Lady Basene.
• Great Lord of the Dark, p. 14 (2)—Name that Forsaken and Friends of the Dark use for Shai'tan, the Dark One, claiming that to use his true name would be blasphemy.

• Guisin, p. 268 (372)—Aes Sedai who went to Tarabon to attempt to help restore order there.
• Gwil, p. 38 (38)—One of the servants Faile trained for Perrin. Perrin treats him as a friend and drinking partner, not a servant.

• Han, p. 96 (120)—White-haired, leathery-faced clan chief of the Tomanelle Aiel. He is considered quite short for an Aiel, which is average to tall for most people. His personality is prickly at best.
• Haran, Shaidar, p. 14 (3)—Myrddraal of special abilities who escorts the Chosen (i.e. Forsaken) to the Pit of Doom to converse with the Dark One. He is head and shoulders taller than all other Myrddraal, who are the height of an average man and all the same height. His name means “Hand of the Dark” in the Old Tongue; most Myrddraal names come from the Trolloc tongue. He is given special consideration; the ceiling of the entrance to the Pit of Doom does not brush his head as it does everyone else's.
• Harella, Faeldrin, p. 536 (753)—Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah. She grew up in Tarabon. Part of Salidar's embassy to Rand. She has dark hair that she usually keeps in thin braids.
• Harfor, Reene, p. 193 (264)—First Maid in the Royal Palace in Caemlyn.
• Harilin, p. 398 (556)—Lanky, red-haired Maiden of the Spear. She is about the same age as Rand.
• Harkin, Bera, p. 268 (372)—Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah. She has three Warders. She was sent, along with Kiruna, to establish diplomatic relations with Rand in the Aiel Waste. She grew up in Andor.
• Harnan, p. 121 (158)—Lantern-jawed Redarm, a file-leader in the Band of the Red Hand. He has a long-suffering expression and a crude hawk tatoo on his left cheek.
• Harnder, Milam, p. 580 (816)—Second-Librarian in the Royal Palace in Caemlyn. He has been one of Demira's agents for the past thirty years.
• Haslin, Henre, p. 214 (294)—Former Master of the Sword for the Queen's Guards in Caemlyn. He was too old for campaigning, so Gaebril handed him his pension and showed him the gate to get him out of the way. When news of Morgase's death, he started drinking. He believes that Gaebril killed her, and is willing to teach Rand's students.
• Hawkwing, Artur, p. 55 (64)—Hero of Legend who conquered much of the known world about a thousand years ago. He was perhaps the most strongly ta'veren man besides Lews Therin Telamon and Rand al'Thor. His armies put down those of Guaire Amalasan, a false Dragon, and he even sent troops across the Aryth Ocean under his son, Luthair Paendrag Mondwhin, in hopes of conquering new lands there. All contact with these armies ended with Hawkwing's death, which set off the War of the Hundred Years. The descendants of the armies under Luthair have now returned to reclaim the lands of Hawkwing's empire in the Old World—they now call themselves the Seanchan. Artur Hawkwing's real name was Artur Paendrag Tanreall; his sign was a golden hawk in flight.
• He Who Comes With the Dawn, p. 66 (78)—According to the Aiel's Prophecy of Rhuidean, the man who will unite the clans of the Aiel and bring them out of the Three-Fold Land. With him, a “remnant of a remnant” will survive the Last Battle; without him, every Aiel alive will die. He Who Comes With the Dawn is said to come at dawn from Rhuidean, marked with two Dragons instead of one. Some call He Who Comes With the Dawn the Car'a'carn, the Chief of Chiefs—both are the same man, Rand al'Thor. Rand fulfills the requirements of being the son of a Maiden of the Spear, raised by “wetlanders” and of Aiel blood. See also al'Thor, Rand; Coramoor; Couladin; Dragon Reborn.
• Hearne, p. 100 (126)—A Leader of Tairen military forces in Cairhien. He is one of the High Lords of Tear. When the battle in Cairhien was over, he and a few other High Lords took to hiding in Haddon Mirk—they are traitors to the Dragon Reborn.
• Lord Henren, p. 67 (80)—Blocky, bald, hard-eyed Andoran noble.
• Hopwil, Eben, p. 86 (106)—Skinny young man of about sixteen or so who comes for Rand's amnesty. He has a big nose and ears to match.
• Master Hornval, p. 33 (30)—Tile-maker who came to Emond's Field after the battle with the Trollocs. His trade produced previously unheard of competition with Cenn Buie's thatch, causing some friction.
• Hu, p. 98 (123)—An “irascible old farmer.” He is the subject of a joke Rand tells the Maidens in an attempt to prove that in fact they are the ones who lack a sense of humor, not him.
• Huldin, Kely, p. 90 (111)—Weaver of about age thirty who comes to Rand for the Amnesty.

• Ibrella, p. 235 (324)—Novice in Salidar. During Elayne's class, she decided to see how big a flame she could make and almost set the entire class on fire.
• Ihvon, p. 203 (279)—One of Alanna's Warders.
• Indirian, p. 357 (499)—Clan chief of the Codarra Aiel. Tall and massive with a hard, sober face.
• Ishamael, p. 77 (93)—One of the Forsaken. He was the most powerful of the Forsaken, and during the Age of Legends he was a prominent philosopher and theologian named Elan Morin Tedronai. He was never really bound inside the Bore, and led the hidden forces of the Shadow for the three thousand odd years from the end of the War of the Shadow to the present. He took credit for such things as convincing the then insane Lews Therin Telamon to kill everyone he loved, pursuading the dying Artur Hawkwing not to accept the Aes Sedai Healing that might have saved his life, sending the Trollocs out of the Great Blight during the Trolloc Wars, and many other events in history that turned out poorly. When the rest of the Forsaken were freed, Ishamael kept them away from each other's throats. He confronted Rand at the Eye of the World where he was severed from the Dark One's bonds; he confronted him again at Falme where Rand melted his sword when he put it through him, but not after Ishamael gave Rand a wound that he hasn't been able to recover from yet; and he confronted Rand in the Stone of Tear after he took Callandor. Rand killed Ishamael after beating him sore by plunging Callandor into his heart. His body rotted quickly, but it was proof that Ba'alzamon, which he called himself to the public, was a human being, and not the Dark One.
• Ituralde, Rodel, p. 138 (183)—The commander of Arad Doman's army. He is one of the six best military commanders west of the Aiel Waste, in a league with Pedron Niall, Gareth Bryne, Davram Bashere, Agelmar Jagad, and Matrim Cauthon.
• Iva, p. 317 (441)—Erith's mother, Alar's daughter.

• Jaem, p. 588 (825)—Vandene's old, stringy Warder. When he is not practicing with his sword, h
