Ouch! None of the Forsaken are attractive as human beings, and look what they've done with what they've got. Look at what 50% of the so-called Aes Sedai have done with their talents, their vows and their duties. Everything point to a society where half the Aes Sedai didn't take their role as "servants of all" very seriously and jumped at the first occasion to give up this duty to serve to aggrandize their own power. Half the Aes Sedai got wasted in a giant race for power, and all there's left of them, the thirteen, continued the trend. Even now, those still alive are still fighting for the top. Heck... Demandred and Lanfear have been in that self-serving race for ultimate power many years if not decades (or maybe centuries) before the Bore even existed...

Maybe 20% of Aes Sedai of the NE, and probably a much smaller percentage of channellers on the whole (WO, Windfinders, Kin, Asha'man etc.) serve the Shadow in the third Age, so that's a massive improvement over the AOL mentality, the real one underneath the illusion they were truly the "servants of all". The Third Ages are proving themselves better than their highly educated, too pampered ancestors. Egocentrism still exist, it's still especially strong among the privileged classes, but it's already a big improvement over the AOL society...
