Todd's Wheel of Time FAQ Frequently Asked Questions about Darkfriends and the Shadowspawn

Who is the Watcher/Stranger?      I'm not sure, but I believe that it could be Moridin. Who is the Slayer?     Updated!!!      The Slayer is actually two people in one;  Lord Luc (Tigraine Damodred's long-lost brother), and Isam (al'Lan's cousin).  They somehow share the same body, but exist in different realities, the real world and the world of dreams.  Lord Luc walks the real world, while Isam stalks Tel'aran'rhiod.  I'm not sure how they were combined, but anything is possible where the Dark One is concerned.      Who is commanding the six Gholam?      So far, we have only (supposedly) seen the one gholam stalking the streets of Ebou Dar, but history indicates that there are in fact six gholam, three men and three women.  I would assume that Moridin is in control of at least one of them, but my only evidence is the appearance of the known gholam in Moridin's quarters in Ebou Dar. Who/What is Shaidar Haran?      We know that Shaidar Haran is a Myrddraal, and that he can channel, but that's about it.  He states to Graendal that he is the Dark One's hand and voice on earth, but I would assume that he somehow is controlled by or is taking orders from Moridin.  (He does help "convince" Graendal that she needs to see Moridin.)  However, that's only a guess.  We also know that he turned over control of Moghedien's mind trap to Moridin, but that could just be directions from the Dark One. updated 01/15/01
