"Two thousand years ago I took my Trollocs across the world, and even among Aes Sedai
I found those who knew despair, who knew the world could not stand before Shai'tan.
For two thousand years the Black Ajah has dwelt among others, unseen in the shadows."


Alviarin Freidhen
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the White Ajah, Keeper of the Chronicles, Head of Supreme Council of Black Ajah.

Elaida. Swan necked. Cool and business like, with sharp criticisms, but always ready to have another go.

When Jarna Malari, the former head of the Black Ajah was killed by Ishamael, he raised Alviarin to the head. Since that time she has been visited by Be'lal, Lanfear and Graendal but now follows Mesaana.

She helped Elaida become Amyrlin, and became her Keeper. After the stuff ups with Rand and the Black Tower, Alviarin has taken control of Elaida.



Amico Nagoyin
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai.

Only four years older than Egwene, she was beautiful with large dark eyes and a slender neck. She left the Tower with Liandrin's group, but was stilled when she was captured by Egwene in the Stone of Tear. She was later killed in her cell by Slayer. At the last, she insisted she had turned back to the Light.

Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah.

A Saldaean with dark tilted eyes and a bold nose, she has been an Aes Sedai for 130 years. She left the White Tower with Liandrin and regretted leaving her Warders behind when she left. Moghedien later set her to wait in Samara with Eldrith, Chesmal and Temaile. The group has since drifted to Caemlyn and is waiting for something to do. Asne has unmasked her bonds, and her Warders are now coming to meet her, including Powl who is the only Darkfriend among them.



Atuan Larisett

Tall and handsome with dark hair and dark eyes. The most talented healer for generations and smugly arrogant, she left the White Tower with Liandrin. She later tried to capture Nynaeve for Moghedien. When Moghedien was injured by Birgitte, Chesmal Healed her. Moghedien later set her to wait in Samara with Eldrith, Asne and Temaile. The group has since drifted to Caemlyn and is waiting for something to do.

She helped put Tamra Ospenya to the question, and induced the Reds to murder Sierin Vayu because Sierin had discovered Chesmal was black. She has a passion for embroidery.



Delana Mosalaine
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Gray Ajah, Sitter in the Hall of the Tower in exile.

Egwene. She has very pale hair and pale blue eyes that focus and penetrate. A very successful mediator, as both sides will agree just to stop her looking at them. She is also capable of bullying people to do what she wants. Her voice is deep and throaty with a melodious accent. She is stout but graceful.

She was a friend of Siuan before she became Amyrlin and has no Warder.



Eldrith Jhondar
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah.

Round faced and plump. She left the White Tower with Liandrin. She doesn't like cats so she removes Marillin's strays. Moghedien later set her to wait in Samara with Chesmal, Asne and Temaile, with Eldrith in charge. Although her absentmindedness ensures her authority soon disipated. The group has since drifted to Caemlyn and is waiting for something to do. Her Warder is Kennit, who is not a darkfriend.



Elza Penfell
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, da'tsang.

Elaida. A pleasant faced Andoran and a part of the Tower Escort for Rand. She is always conscious of giving due respect. She was captured at Dumai's Wells and was trying to meet her Toh.

During the fight to cleanse the taint with the Choedan Kal near Shadar Logoth, she managed to kill Osen'gar.



Falion Bhoda
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the White Ajah.

A long and cold face. When she was a novice, she ran away and went to Ebou Dar. She was returned to Tar Valon and became Aes Sedai. She has a measured and cool voice that could mesmerise a class of novices.

She left the White Tower with Liandrin. Moghedien later sent her on a mission to find ter'angreal in Ebou Dar with Ispan.

During the fight in the building holding the Bowl of Winds, she managed to escape. However Moridin shielded her and gave her to Mili Skane for her failure. She also has to put up with Daved as a part of her punishment.



Galina Casban
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah, Head of Red Ajah, Member Supreme Council of Black Ajah, Lina.

Elaida. She has a round face, a plump mouth and long black hair. Her eyes are hard and she pouts unconciously when she is nervous. Men make her skin crawl.

Galina was a part of the Tower Embassy to Rand. After Rand was captured, Galina became the leader of the escort. She had him beaten twice per day. She was captured by the Shaido Wise Ones - whom she had tried to make a deal with - after Dumai's Wells.

Galina has been Aes Sedai for almost 90 years. She became Black five years after receiving the shawl, and has been Head of the Red Ajah for 18 to 20 years. She is second to Alviarin on the Supreme Council of Black Ajah, knowing who Alviarin is. She has had a King and Queen killed. She helped break Tamra Ospenya and Siuan Sanche and lead the circle that stilled Siuan.

After being taken by the Shaido she has been brutalised. Her attempts to escape have been punished well. She is now Lina, a well trained servant, being thoroughly broken by Therava. She is forced to obey the Shaido Wise Ones and Sevanna via the binding rod Caddar gave them. Elaida believes her dead, however she is still hoping for a rescue.

She was captured by Nynaeve with help from The Kin when they gained the Bowl of Winds. Adeleas and Vandene started interigating her, but this was cut short when Ispan had a stake driven through her heart and Adeleas had her throat cut. See the WOT FAQ for theories on this.

Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Gray Ajah, Head of the Black Ajah.

Katerine Alruddin
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah, da'tsang.

Elaida. She has wavy raven black hair to her shoulders and hard eyes. An Aes Sedai for 17 years, she has been of the black for twelve. She was a part of the Tower group who kidnapped Rand . She, Galina and Erian were the only ones who beat Rand more than once. She was captured at Dumai's Wells, but later escaped the Aiel camp by poisoning a Wise One and two Cor Darei and cutting the throat of a gai'shain.



Liandrin
Allegiance: The Dark One, Power.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of Red Ajah, da'covale.

A Taraboner, young (approx 27) and pretty with a dolls face. She has a small petulant mouth, dark eyes and dark eyebrows. Her pale honey coloured braids are set in the Tarabon fashion that brush her shoulders. She is less than a hand taller than Moiraine, and always sounds disatisfied and cold edged.

Liandrin had few friends with none outside the Red Ajah. She doesn't seem to see much difference between men and trollocs. One of the things she hates most is men looking at her, especially with lust. She is very corrupt, and liable to stoop to extreme torture to get what she wants. She is of the absolute belief that Aes Sedai are far beyond all other people and should be revered, almost as Gods.

She grew up in Tanchico, envious of those with money and power, with her father selling fruit off a barrow to feed his family. This envy has never left her. As a child, she swore the oaths of a Darkfriend. Dreaming of becoming a part of the Black Ajah, she taught herself to channel, channeling for almost a year before going to the White Tower. She doesn't consider herself a Wilder, however, despising wilders.

During her time of learning to channel, she learned a basic unreliable form of compulsion - a form that hurts the person. When she went to the White Tower, she immediately sought out Black Sisters, wanting to gain power among Darkfriends and be lord over many people (like the Chosen). She has spent many years copying nobles and learning how they talk and act to shed herself of her poor beginnings.

She attended the meeting with Ba'alzamon and many other darkfriends that Bors also attended. She sent a warded Dragkar to the residence of Adeleas and Vandene to kill Moiraine. She attempted to hand Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve over to the Seanchan. She led twelve other black sisters out of the Tower on the orders of capturing Rand and controlling him. Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve thwarted her group twice, in Tear, with the help of Mat and Juilin; and then in Tarabon without Egwene, but with the help of Egeanin, Bayle, Thom and Juilin.

After her cock-up in Tarabon, Moghedien took control of her group in Amadicia. However, Liandrin is never happy with being a servant. She looked to overpower Moghedien, but after her second attempt to beat her, she was shielded with the flow tied off so intricately that only another forsaken could unravel it. Also Moghedien used compulsion to make her want to live, always! She was broken by Temaile and left to be a scullery girl with Amellia Arene, who had no cause to like her.

When the Seanchan took Amador, she was discovered by Suroth, who had previous dealings with her. Liandrin is now da'covale, a thinly robed servant of the High Lady Suroth.



Marillin Gemalphin
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah.

Narrow faced with blue eyes and a wide nose. She is skinny with lank pale brown hair. She loves cats, always feeding strays and healing the injured ones. She left the White Tower with Liandrin. Moghedien sent her on a mission to Caemlyn and she is now with Mili Skane.



Merean Redhill
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah.

Plump and motherly with grey hair. She was the Mistress of Novices under Tamra Ospenya and Aes Sedai around 200 years. Very good at finding out what you didn't want her to know, but nonetheless, she was kindly and comforting to all novices.

Strong in the One Power, she became one of the searchers for the newly born Dragon Reborn. She helped kill many of the other searchers and many of the possible candidates. She tried to kill Lan and Moiraine and did kill Diryk, Brys and Iselle. Moiraine managed to kill her with a knife in the back. All this occurred soon after the Aiel War.



Rianna Andomeran
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the White Ajah.

Black hair with a white streak above her left ear. Cold, arrogant and certain. She left the White Tower with Liandrin. Moghedien later sent her on a mission.



Talene Minly
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, Sitter in the Hall of the Tower.

Elaida. Beautiful and statuesque with golden hair and sun darkened skin. Her eyes are blue and she has a deep voice. The daughter of farmers, she was punished much as a novice, and has been penanced by Elaida even though she stood to depose Siuan. She came to the White Tower when Seaine was Accepted and was Seaine friend. Her allegiance has now been discovered through Seaine and Pevara's investigations. She has sat in the Chair of Remorse and confessed her loyalty to the Dark One.



Temaile Kinderode
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Aes Sedai of the Gray Ajah.

Large blue eyes with foxlike face that looks a bit like a child's. She left the White Tower with Liandrin. She gets immense pleasure from hurting people and causing pain - she believes in spreading pain evenly - so she got the job of torturing Amathera and also of breaking Liandrin. Moghedien later set her to wait in Samara with Eldrith, Chesmal and Asne. The group has since drifted to Caemlyn and is waiting for something to do.
