I always thought Machin Shin was related to Mashadar. It is possible it is not, though.
My main idea is that Mordeth had the power to consume people's souls and inhabit their vacant body, which is what happened to Padan Fain.
Since Sammael was destroyed by Mashadar, my mini-theory is that Mordeth gained the ability to enter the Ways using Sammael's body, and in this way, can now command Shadowspawn and direct them through the Ways. It just seems like a possible way for Mashadar to ensure it's survival and mobility after Shadar Logoth had been destroyed.

But wouldn't Mordeth still be in Fain? If he took over his body why would he switch bodies to go inhabit Sammael? Also doesn't Mordeth have to touch to touch the person or take them outside the city to inhabit them? I don't think Sammael left the city and Mordeth's soul in Fain would have been hundreds of miles away at the time. I mean, its an interesting thought but I don't find how it could be plausible consindering the facts...
Not familiar with Padan Fain.

He still wouldn't have the Forsaken Mark that forces Shadowspawn to obey. *NM*

Perhaps he can re-create it now that Sammael has been absorbed by Mashadar. *NM*

I see no reason to believe that, if the best evidence for it is that it is not impossible. *NM*

Doesn't he still have the mark of the Dark One from being Tracker Fain? *NM*

That would be different from the Forsaken Mark

My mini-theory has to do with Mordeth/Mashadar choosing Sammael as a new vessel for itself.

I think that Sammael presents advantages that Fain's body doesn't.
