[quote]Jain Farstrider Charin: Jain Farstrider is with Mat, under the alias of Noal Charin. A man of many mysteries, once used may years ago by Ishamael as a 'fool' to spread his tales about the Eye of the World to the Ogier. Jain still shows signs of recent Compulsion. His connection to Lan and Malkier comes from the fact that as a young man, he was the one to capture the traitor Cowin Gemallan and bring him to Lan's father's justice. It is unknown if Farstrider is or isn't a Malkieri.[/quote]

My question is, was this ever actually confirmed? I mean, everyone and their cat believe Noal = Jain, but was it ever actually confirmed by RJ or Brandon?
