Demandred Demandred was originally known as Barid Bel Medar. Barid Bel Medar could have been the most influential and acclaimed man of
his Age, if it were not for Lews Therin. He was born one day after Lews Therin. He was almost as powerful as the Dragon, almost as
skilled. During the War of the Shadow, Demandred finally discovered something at which he was at least the equal of Lews Therin - as a military commander. When Lews Therin was named commander of the forces opposing the Shadow, Demandred was furious. He
believed himself the intellectual superior to the Dragon. He made the cold calculation that with Lews Therin commanding the forces opposing the Shadow,
the Shadow would win. Demandred then decided to side with the Dark One. Demandred did not get along with the other Forsaken
very well, particularly Sammael. Demandred’s hatred of the Dragon put him in conflict with Sammael; both wanted to be the one
to personally defeat Lews Therin. In many instances, it would appear that Demandred considers himself above the other
Forsaken. It is reliably known that the Great Lord of the Dark has spoken to him at Shayol Ghul about being Nae’blis. |
