""I actually asked this next question after the signing but since it is relevant to this question I am putting it here. I asked has Demandreds alter ego been mentioned in the books but not seen? He gave me a very guarded look and said, That is a very well though out question, paused for a moment, and said " there have been to few characters introduced in the last few books for me to answer that. Speculators unite.""


Surely the above quote can only mean one thing. If Demandred's character had NOT been introduced in the last few books, then the fact that too FEW new characters have been introduced would in no way have made it difficult for BS to answer the question.

The only reason why the SMALL number of new characters would make it a problem for BS to answer, is if Demandred is indeed one of these newly introduced characters.

So, the question now is: Which new characters have been introduced in the last few books without appearing on screen?

I know Roedran was mentioned by Talmanes or someone, but I doubt this was the first time he was introduced to us.

I think Mishraile was introduced to us, but he was clobbered over the head rather humiliatingly by Taim, so I'm pretty sure that would exclude him from being Demandred.

Who else? Galgan was introduced, but he appeared on screen, so that would seem to exclude him.

Anyone else I'm missing right now?
