.............................................................
"Yes, Betrayer of Hope. They gave me the name to revile me, but I
will yet make them kneel and worship it."
A little shorter
than Lews Therin, he was in the prime of maturity: good looking with
fine cut dark clothes. His mouth and eyes sometimes open to endless
caverns of flame. He has white teeth, dark eyes, cruel lips and a
mellifluous voice.
Orginally a Philosopher he was often too esoteric for popular appeal.
He wrote many books including, "Analysis of Perceived Meaning", "Reality
and the Absence of Meaning" and "Disassembly of Reason". He believed
that the war between the soul of Lews Therin and the Dark One had
occured since the beginning of time. He was the Dark One's greatest
champion being almost equal in the One Power as Lews Therin.
He was probably the first to pledge himself the the Dark One and acted
as peace maker between the forsaken. Although he never held a field
command, he was defeated by Lews Therin at the gates of Paaran Disen.
He announced his betrayal at a conference of Aes Sedai, informing
them of what it was they faced. His announcement sparked massive riots.
He was given the name Ishamael by the people: Betrayor of Hope. |
