Mysterious New Forsaken? Hopper Aes Sedai Send a noteboard - 25/10/2009 06:34:08 AM
Towards the end of the book The Dragon Reborn, Moiraine Aes Sedai is trying to figure out who the living Forsaken are. Here is the passage:

“I... may know who he was.” Egwene paused with an uncertain frown. “At least, I may have a clue. Verin showed me a page from an old book that mentioned Ba’alzamon and Ishamael together. It was almost High Chant and very nearly incomprehensible, but I remember something about ‘a name hidden behind a name.’ Maybe Ba’alzamon was Ishamael.”
“Perhaps,” Moiraine said. “Perhaps it was Ishamael. But if it was, at least nine of the thirteen still live. Lanfear, and Sammael, and Ravhin, and... Paah!"

-- People of the Dragon, The Dragon Reborn


Who is this Paah? I don't remember hearing him mentioned, but Moiraine Aes Sedai does so here. Is it a nickname used by someone Forsaken, or is it a new, unknown Forsaken that only Moiraine Aes Sedai knows about?

Please no spoilers from later books, if possible.
I am a wolf that can channel saidin.

seconded and submitted to QotM *NM* Deadsy - 25/10/2009 11:06:59 PM 450 Views
Thanks. Joel - 12/06/2010 10:14:26 AM 884 Views
Also submitted to QotM - I should have asked BS about Paah at the book signing *NM* Deadsy - 12/06/2010 10:30:23 AM 468 Views
You should've; Paah lives in his house, after all. Joel - 12/06/2010 11:18:23 AM 1071 Views
Paah is a small rotund bear who lives in Mr. Sanders(on)s house. Joel - 12/06/2010 10:24:39 AM 1256 Views
Well, it's italicized, so that means he's really scary. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 12/06/2010 03:04:12 PM 441 Views
