Are they definitely insane? LoialT Send a noteboard - 29/09/2012 10:43:22 PM
The Chosen are obviously more Powerful, but they are also predictable in the way sane people are.

The SN are at once insane male Channlers and a source of fear from his earliest childhood ... A powerful combination ... I doubt they are even particularly skilled Channelers (no more than most Dedicated at the BT). Ishamael would have been stunningly foolish to train them beyond being weapons. I imagine they are the prototype for the Asha'man training in the BT.


I wonder if being turned in some way isolates you from the effect of the taint? There seem to be a great many of these SN and why would Ishamael have trained a bunch of insane channelers or kept them around in one place?
