Ishamael
Originally named Elan Morin Tedronai, Ishamael is one of the most powerful and enigmatic Forsaken. A brilliant philosopher and one-time advisor to Lews Therin Telamon, he succumbed to the allure of the Dark One, driven by his belief in the futility of the eternal struggle between the Light and the Shadow. Known for his profound nihilism and madness, Ishamael seeks not just to serve the Dark One but to end the cyclical nature of time itself. His ageless, intense appearance, combined with his mastery of the True Power and his ruthless cunning, makes him a formidable and terrifying antagonist, manipulating events from the shadows for millennia.
