Aginor The man called Aginor was the second most powerful of the male Forsaken
. He was originally named Ishar Morrad Chuain, and was one of the foremost biological scientists of the Age of Legends. He did not like the widely held belief that everything worth discovering had
already been discovered. He was one of the first Forsaken to turn to the Great Lord of the Dark. Aginor apparently turned to the Shadow so he could perform the experiments he wanted
to. Before turning to the Dark One, he was reprimanded several times for performing unauthorized experiments. He used his skills as a biological scientist to help the Shadow tremendously. It was Aginor
who created the Shadowspawn, the first of which were the Trollocs. Some of his creations are still very well known, such as the Draghkar. Others have apparently disappeared with time, such as the
Gholam and jumara. Since his release... Aginor was caught just beneath the seal on the Bore.
As a result, he was one of the first of the Forsaken to escape. However, being caught near the seal on the Bore meant that he was also affected by the ravages of time, unlike most of the other
Forsaken. His body was impossibly aged when he escaped the Bore. Along with Balthamel, Aginor confronted Rand al’Thor and his party at the Eye of the World
. Aginor was killed by Rand as they struggled to control the essence of saidin contained in the Eye of the World. |
