If not for the same reasons, I agree this is the best of the conventionally scary characters. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 15/10/2010 03:15:02 PM

He creates real fear in the Forsaken, and they've seen just about everything that's evil.


I think it's more that there are no hints of his limitations aside from time and distance issues relative to Shayol Ghul, and he is both so inhuman and malicious at the same time. He's like a condensed version of the Dark One, brought down to a scale where our minds could grasp it. Also, he's kind of a throwback to the old days when the scariest thing imaginable was a myrdraal.

Moridin/Ishamael, because he reminds me of me ... goddamn *NM* Velveti - 14/10/2010 04:25:04 AM 504 Views
Lanfear and Ishamael are both two sides of the same coin, and both crack me up. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:58:46 PM 1149 Views
I'd say this differently ... more like which character SHOULD be scariest to me... darius_sedai - 13/10/2010 08:51:45 PM 1243 Views

Even if she's a fraction as bad as I make her out, who is most likely to be around for a while? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 03:12:02 PM 1016 Views
But she's not scary... her idealism is tempered by pragmatism - a benevolent dictator type. *NM* Helene - 15/10/2010 03:28:05 PM 493 Views
Someone who compromises her good intentions to keep herself in power - how is that comforting? Cannoli - 15/10/2010 06:22:12 PM 1076 Views
That is not at all what idealsim tempered by pragmatism is. Helene - 15/10/2010 07:56:10 PM 1129 Views

And even worse...he's related to Rand, Lan and Galad RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:33:45 PM 1070 Views
I don't know why, I just find him one of the scarier people. He reminds me of Freddy Krueger Helene - 14/10/2010 05:41:06 PM 870 Views
I think of Moghedien and Lanfear scarier in terms of T'A'R RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/10/2010 07:38:58 PM 1045 Views
That's an interesting point. The Ta'veren effect is rather scary if you think about it darius_sedai - 14/10/2010 09:47:02 PM 1084 Views
I don't find Shaidar Haran scary, because I'm not a channeler. *NM* Helene - 16/10/2010 08:15:49 AM 449 Views
