If it can help... DomA Send a noteboard - 02/05/2012 01:30:40 PM
Another thing to note is that while Gollum had moments of near redemption, Fain has steadily gotten more consumed by his insanity and evil and has grown far beyond his original form. His powers have been hinted at a number of times and shown to a degree, but I think we have not seen the tip of that iceberg.

How his role will play out is anyone's guess, but I think it will be pretty significant ... Why else build him up so much throughout the series?


I guess for him to be a complete parallel to Gollum, the object of his obsession, i.e., the dagger, would have to be instrumental in the Dark One's defeat. I'm not sure I see that happening, but I seem to remember reading theories about it.

Of course, it still wouldn't be perfect, as the dagger hasn't been the focus of the entire series.


Brandon said his role won't be similar to Gollum, that he is aware of the comparison and works to even further distance Fain from that.

So, not a good path for theories to take, they'll be wrong.

To me it he seems certain he will play a gollum-like role. *NM* Narg - 30/04/2012 04:56:09 AM 365 Views
Yes. He'll fall into Dragonmount while groping Rand. OK *NM* Nargs - 30/04/2012 08:56:51 PM 375 Views

I agree, I think his role will be very different than Gollum darius_sedai - 01/05/2012 01:28:54 AM 816 Views
