minor wheel of time characters

This article is about characters in Robert Jordan's the Wheel of Time fantasy fiction series who do not have their own article; thus, less important characters.

Logain Ablar

A man who can channel strongly but not on the level of Rand, he declared himself as the Dragon Reborn shortly before the books started. Midway through the first book he is captured and his ability to channel is removed. After this we see him briefly in the next two books, always depressed, with someone keeping him from killing himself. His luck changes during the revolt in the White Tower. He escapes with Min and Siuan Sanche, thanks to a promise of revenge on the Red Ajah. Siuan begins to spread rumors that he was set up by the Red Ajah, which, while false, Logain supports with happiness. He regained his ability to channel thanks to a new discovery of Nyneave's. Egwene sets him free and he joins Rand's group of channelers, the Asha'man. We do not see him for a few more books, but when he reappers he has bonded two of the captured Aes Sedai, one as his lover. He leads the Asha'man still loyal to Rand, putting him at odds with Mazrim Taim, his equal in power. When the Dragon Reborn goes missing he gathers up a small army to find Rand. Despite his slight arrogance he supports Rands thoroughly.

Shaidar Haran

A Myrdraal with the normal powers: can see with no eyes, strikes fear by looking at him and can disappear in the shadows. However, he is a head taller than most Myrdraal, can shield channelers from the True Source, and has a sense of humour. He is the voice of the Dark One, he speaks for the Dark One. His name literally means "Hand of the Dark" in the Old Tongue. He is usually the bringer of bad news; he summons the other Forsaken to Shayol Ghul. He cannot be away from that place for long, and wishes to sever his ties from there. It might be the first occurrence of Dark One's appearance.

Slayer

Slayer is the merger of two souls, Lord Isam Mandragoran and Lord Luc Mantear. Little is known about this dark creature, nor his origins. Isam was of royal blood in the Kingdom of Malkier. In fact, he was Lan's cousin. When the Malkier was overrun by Trollocs, Isam was one of the few Malkieri to escape. His mother took him south but they were attacked by Trollocs. Luc was brother to Tigraine, and a prince of Andor. Luc is also Rand's blood uncle - brother of Tigraine. Gitara Moroso, the Aes Sedai who possessed the Fortelling, urged him to seek his glory in the Blight. It is speculated by many fans that this is where Luc and Isam merged, becoming a sort of Super Darkfriend. The Slayer killed Janduin, Rand's biological father, when he came into the Blight. Somehow, both of them survived in the Blight. They met in the Mountain of Dhoom and merged into a something new. The slayer has many abilities. He can appear in both forms in the world of flesh, but he is also master of the World of Dreams and can change easily as well. Slayer is his wolf name. He can also enter the Tower of Ghenji. It's quite possible that he has something to do with creating Darkhounds and can be connected with the big unsolved murder of Asmodean and it is remotely possible that Slayer killed the two Aes Sedai Adeleas and Ispan in Book 8. It also seems clear that both Luc and Isam's personalities have survived intact, and that Luc is just as evil as Isam. In fact, they seem to be quite the bosom buddies. His attempt to kill Padan Fain in the Two Rivers was unsuccessful, and he feared Perrin. He still hunts Ordeith, but recently tried to kill Rand and Min. It was he who mysteriously killed the Grey Man who tried to kill Egwene in the White Tower. He also killed the Black Ajah sisters Amico Nagoyin and Joya Byir, who were being held in the Stone of Tear. However, this new information still doesn't cast a lot of light on how this merge of two people came to be, and in fact muddies the issue even more. If Slayer is not a case of possession, then what is he? How much of Luc's future did Gitara Moroso see when she sent Luc to his doom?

Siuan Sanche

The sharp-tongued daughter of a fisherman from Tear, Siuan Sanche joined the White Tower at the same time as Moiraine Damodred. Both ended up choosing the Blue as their Ajah and they plotted a scheme to ensure that the Dragon Reborn will win the Final Battle by allowing him to roam the world unleashed with an Aes Sedai guide by his side. At the beginning of the saga, Siuan is the Amyrlin Seat, secretly supporting Moiraine's machinations of Rand al'Thor. All that came to a halt when Elaida discovered Siuan and Moiraine's scheme and overthrew her. As punishment for "endangering the White Tower", Siuan and her Keeper, Leane, were stilled and slated for execution. They managed to escape with the help of Min and ended up with Logain in their party as they searched for the rebel Aes Sedai. Siuan fell afoul of the disgraced Andoran general, Gareth Bryne, when Logain assaulted the owner of and set fire to the farmhouse barn they were sheltering in. Under a false name, Siuan gave an oath of servitude to Bryne but then escaped with the others. Bryne, in a moment of folly, pursued her to Salidar, where the rebel Hall immediately made him the commander of their armies. Siuan was thus forced to pay off her debt to Bryne, a fact that annoys her as much as the fact that she feels strongly attracted to him. (It seems to be mutual.) In Salidar, Siuan managed to put herself in a position of power through the spy network she had maintained as Amyrlin and could still access. Her stilling was Healed by Nynaeve al'Meara, and although her strength is far less than before, giving her a low social rank among the Aes Sedai, she was welcomed back to the shawl and has been reinstated as a member of the Blue. She eventually came to serve Egwene al'Vere as a trusted adviser in their fight against Elaida, schooling the hurriedly raised young Amyrlin Seat in the skills she herself learned during her tenure in that position. She firmly believes in the importance of allowing Rand al'Thor to stretch and learn his skills instead of leashing and chaining him the way Elaida intended to.
