This was posted on another board and it made me wonder when and why would Vanin have interacted with Aes Sedai in the past??

"What are you talking about?" Mat demanded, and Vanin explained. At great length, for him.
"An Aes Sedai explained it to me, once. You see, there's old mountains. They was there before the Breaking, maybe on the bottom of the sea or the like. They have passes all over, broad and gentle. You can ride into those and as long you keep your head and your direction and have enough supplies, sooner or later you come out the other side. And then there's mountains made during the Breaking." The fat man turned his head and spat copiously. " Passes in those are narrow, twist things, and sometimes they aren't really what you'd call passes at all. Ride into one of those, and you can wander around till your food runs out trying to find a way to the other side. Loss of that pass is going to hurt a lot of folks who use it for what you might call untaxed goods, and men'll die before they find a new one that gets them all the way through. We go into the Damonas with that pass gone, likely we'll all die, too. Them as doesn't turn back in time and hasn't gotten their heads so turned around they can't find the way back."
Could Vanin be someone's agent?

The bigger question in my head is why an AS would even speak to the likes of Vanin

Are we suggesting that he is a Warder? Was he on a mission when he ran into Mat?
