Real Name:
Elan Morin Tedronai

Profession: Philosopher

Titles: Betrayor of Hope, Ba'alzamon - Heart of the Dark, Soul of the Shadow, Heartfang, Jalwin Moerad.

Jalwin Moerad had a volatile temper, and was half mad. He had frequent long absences and anyone who enquired about him closely died. Takima didn't like him and he was openly contmptuous of Aes Sedai. Days after Artur's death he became the councillor to and then had killed the three closest contenders for the throne, one by one. They were Marithelle Camaelaine, Norodim Nosokawa and then Elfraed Guitama. Jalwin appeared for 40 years, and then disappeared, never aging a day. This lends support to Aran's theories.

Ishamael can, therefore, be credited with the greatest catastrophes of the third age: The trolloc wars, and the War of Hundred years. Truly the Dark One's top Captain.

Finally he was killed in the Heart of the Stone by Rand al'Thor with Callandor in his hands. In the end, being half trapped caused him to be half mad and less than half human. He may have even believed himself the Dark One in the end.
