Forsaken (Wheel of Time)
Encyclopedia : F : FO : FOR : Forsaken (Wheel of Time)
In the fictional world of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time fantasy series, the Forsaken (or Chosen, as they would prefer to be called) are thirteen of the most powerful servants of the Dark One. At the end of The War of Power they were all at meeting at Shayol Ghul when Lews Therin Telamon and his Hundred Companions sealed the hole in the Dark One's prison, and the Forsaken in it. They were all formerly Aes Sedai, but they became corrupted by the desire for power and immortality.
The eight male Forsaken are:
- Aginor, killed by Rand al'Thor, resurrected as Osan'gar and later killed again by Elza at the cleansing.
- Asmodean, deceased (killer unknown. Contrary to some believers, Robert Jordan has never confirmed nor denied anyone (except Padan Fain who he denied to be the killers as an answer to a reader's question) as the murderer.)
- Balthamel, resurrected as Aran'gar
- Be'lal, deceased (killed irrevocably with balefire by Moiraine Sedai)
- Demandred, whereabouts unknown.
- Rahvin, deceased (killed irrevocably with balefire)
- Ishamael, killed by Rand al'Thor, resurrected as Moridin
- Sammael, deceased (killed by Mashadar), although it is revealed in Knife of Dreams that he may be alive.
- Graendal, currently posing as the ailing Lady Basene in Arad Doman.
- Lanfear, last seen passing into the twisted door ter'angreal whilst fighting Moiraine Sedai & killed by unknown means. Resurrected as Cyndane and has since been mindtrapped.
- Mesaana, currently within the White Tower.
- Moghedien, currently mindtrapped and Moridin's servant/slave.
- Semirhage, captured by Rand al'Thor.
