"Have you murdered children? Graendal did. She called it kindness so they
would not suffer after she enslaved their parents and carried them away."
Allegiance: The Dark One.
Title(s): Chosen, Lady Basene, Maisia.

Stunningly beautiful, (although Nynaeve thinks her merely plumply pretty) she is buxom and voluptuous with fair skin. She has long red-blond hair and wears lots of jewelery, indulging herself to the extreme. The only people she won't flirt with are Chosen who are above her.

Kamarile Maradim Nindar was a famous dedicated ascetic in the Age of Legends. She was brilliant at treating people with disturbed minds - the best at brain manipulations - being honoured for her work. However she was hard and cutting towards those who didn't live up to her standards. She was approximately 400 years old when the bore was opened.

Ten years after the bore was drilled she became the complete opposite of what she had been, with a total fixation on sexuality and sensuality. Within 25 years of the Collapse beginning, she was the second person to commit to the Shadow. The day she announced her allegiance, the War of Power began. During the war, she helped riots occur, suicides and others behave to help the Dark One without their knowledge.

She used compulsion to gain servants who were beautiful and powerful, killing all of their children. Although the level of compulsion she uses leaves them useful for little more than decoration. She doesn't think of much beyond sensual pleasure. On the surface anyway.

Delving a bit deeper would discover a desire to pull down anyone with power - which explains her need for powerful servants - and deepest of all is the thirst for her own power. Soon after her transition she made the journey to Shayol Ghul and pleged her soul to the Shadow. She accompanied Sammael to Shayol Ghul when he turned to the shadow also.

She is very good at hiding, being the best ever at compulsion. After being freed from the bore she took a palace in Arad Doman, throwing out a family and their servants to do so. She pretends to be a dying old woman - the Lady Basene - who seems to support all sides in the local troubles.

Sammael managed to fool her into helping him scatter the Shaido all around to cause Rand headaches. When Sammael disappeared, she scavanged as much as possible from his apartments. She was last seen being led away by Shaidar Haran.
