The Brown Ajah seeks and preserves all forms of knowledge.
Adeleas Namelle
Allegiance: The Light, The Brown Ajah.
Title(s): Aes Sedai.
Egwene. She was in voluntary retreat with her sister, Vandene, in Tifan's Well - a farming commmunity in Arafel. They had been gathering knowledge for many years with the intention of writing the history of the world. Few in the White Tower remembered them, however Moiraine was one of them.
When the Tower split they decided to join those in Salidar. They travelled to Ebou Dar with Elayne and Nynaeve. When Ispan was captured, Adeleas and Vandene started interigating her.
The Bowl of Winds was found and used, and they were travelling towards Caemlyn continuing with the questioning of Ispan. Adeleas was found with her throat cut, next to a gruesomely murdered Ispan. Her killer is believed to be Merilille, Sareitha or Careane. The WOT FAQ has some very interesting theories on the situation.

Saerin has been a Sitter for forty years, and is the longest serving current Sitter. Strong in the One Power for an Aes Sedai, she is also the strongest Sitter. She was initially trained by the Daughters of Silence, but was the only one who became an Aes Sedai, although she was novice and accepted for a long time.

Theodrin Dabei
Allegiance: The Light Egwene al'Vere, The Brown Ajah.
Title(s): Aes Sedai.
Egwene. Willowy necked and coppery skinned. She has a graceful way of moving.
A wilder, her first trick of channeling was to make a boy want to kiss her or not. She got a block influenced by men and emotions about them. When she was 15 Sheriam arranged for Charel, a tower groom Theodrin liked, to be in the room so she could do her lessons. When Theodrin found out Charel was actually his twin sister, Marel, her block was broken.
She was an Accepted when the Tower coup occurred and went to Salidar. There she was promoted to more than Accepted but less than Aes Sedai for a while and tried to help Nynaeve break her block.
Upon being raised to Amyrlin, Egwene promoted her and Faolain to Aes Sedai. Faolain later convinced Theodrin to swear fealty to Egwene with her.
Verin Mathwin
Allegiance: The Brown Ajah.
Title(s): Aes Sedai, Eadwina
Short and plump with a square faced and smooth cheeks. She has a steady voice and a touch of grey in her hair.
She can become distant, yet always aware of what is going on around her, often noticing what others miss. She is very secretive seemingly able to lie, but also absent minded. She loves to observe history in the making, and has cupboards full of observations all written in a secret script.
She was born in Far Madding, and as a young woman she was to marry Eadwin, but instead she went to the White Tower and became an Aes Sedai. Some many years later, she fell afoul of the law in Far Madding, and was strung up and flogged before being exiled.
She is often found where the action is hottest in the world being very curious, turning up to observe Rand and Perrin, when least wanted. She figured out that Rand was The Dragon Reborn before she was informed, and has been working towards her plans for seventy years. Interestingly, she last made a mistake seventy years ago. She has previously confronted channeling men.
Over the years, she has learned a complex form of compulsion, that takes a long time due to her relative weakness in the One Power. However using this, she has systematically compelled all the Aes Sedai who captured Rand into wanting to serving him and see him safely to the Last Battle. It would seem she is absolutely focussed on getting Rand to Tarmon Gai'don, perhaps capable of hurting or killing a sister who goes against this. In fact she was about to put Cadsuane to sleep, perhaps permenantly, at one time in Far Madding.
Her agenda's sometimes appear to conflict with the heroes, but she seems focused on ensuring Rand lives to fight Tarmon Gai'don. Moiraine warned Rand against her. Her entire dimeanor is an act. For more on whether she is Black Ajah, see the WOT FAQ.
Her Warder is Tomas, whom she has had for ten years and finds useful, at times. Her last Warder was Balinor, and it took her ten years to get over his death.
She is as strong as Merana and Alanna in the One Power and spent five years as Novice and six years as Accepted. She is about 35 to 40 years older than Merana.
