Rahvin
Title(s): Lord Gaebril.
Tall dark and as handsome as Lanfear was beautiful with a very deep chest, strong hands and wings of white at his temples and dark eyes.
Incredibly proud, he loves power, and is envious of anyone who has some. Much prefering diplomacy over outright attack using subtle compulsion and manipulation, but he can be very hard. He always chooses his risks with prudence. He is very strong in the One Power, being stronger than Lanfear was, and almost as strong as Rand.
He turned to the Shadow because of his thirst for power. Through his manipulations he had several regions surrender without invasion. He was an efficient Governor, but with a lack of attention to detail. He loves women and being flattered. He rarely had a woman without using compulsion.
Upon his release from the bore, he moved to Caemlyn. When the riots in Caemlyn started (probably by him), he became the leader of the faction supporting Morgase. He put the riots down, and Morgase promoted him to Elaida's old post.
He had much more trouble with Morgase than expected, with her mind trying to find an escape from his compulsion. She finally managed to run away, leading to rumors of her death. Rahvin soon claimed the throne for himself, as well as the throne of Cairhien.
When Rand heard of Morgase's death, he raided Caemlyn intent on revenge for Elayne which he did with the help of Nynaeve. He balefired Rahvin which undid the death of Aviendha and Mat.
In hindsight, Rahvin probably could have chosen a better subject for his manipulations.
