Can't be a new Forsaken. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 25/10/2009 07:59:39 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!"

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.


She says 'nine of thirteen', and is clearly enumerating from among them. The thirteen are accounted for, so for your hypothesis to be consistent, 'Paah' would have to be one of those thirteen.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

seconded and submitted to QotM *NM* Deadsy - 25/10/2009 11:06:59 PM 340 Views
Thanks. Joel - 12/06/2010 10:14:26 AM 661 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 343 Views
You should've; Paah lives in his house, after all. Joel - 12/06/2010 11:18:23 AM 831 Views
Paah is a small rotund bear who lives in Mr. Sanders(on)s house. Joel - 12/06/2010 10:24:39 AM 1028 Views
Well, it's italicized, so that means he's really scary. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 12/06/2010 03:04:12 PM 336 Views
