• One of the first to break free from the prison.
• Killed at the Eye of The World, along with Balthamel

Asmodean (Joar Addam Nessosin)
The Shadow Rising, Chapter 36

• Allied himself with Lanfear, and was disguised as a gleeman in the Aiel waste.

• Lanfear trapped him into becoming a teacher for Rand.  To everyone else he was Jasin Natael the Dragon's personal Bard.

• At the end of the FoH he was killed by an unknown assailant, which has been rumored to be everyone from Moiraine to a Gholam (unlikely).   I believe it was Graendal.  (See the WoT FAQ for more info on this)

Balthamel (Aran'gar, Halima) (Eval Ramman)
The Eye of the World, Chapter 50

• One of the first to break free from the prison.

• Killed at the Eye of the World, along with Aginor.

• Killed the green man at the Eye.

• Brought back from the grave by the DO as a beautiful borderlander woman, and is now called Aran'gar.  She has slender, long black hair and green eyes.

• Called "Envious" by some.

• Tall athletic man, with close-cropped white hair.

• A good manipulator.

• Balefired by Moiraine in the Stone of Tear.

Cyndane
The Path of Daggers, Chapter 12

• A short young woman with long silver hair, and vivid blue eyes.
• She seems to strive for every inch of height.
• Cyndane means "last chance" in the old tongue.
• She is being held by Moridin by one of two mind traps. The first one is for Moggy.
• Previously we knew of a second mind trap but it was unknown who it was for.
• It is revealed in WH that she is Lanfear.  We get to see her point of view and it is mentioned that she is weaker in the power than she used to be, something to do with the Finns. What this means for Moiraine... who knows.

Demandred (Barid Bel Medar)
Lord of Chaos, Prologue

• Tall and reasonably good looking, except for a hawk nose.

• Second only to Lews Therin in the Age of Legends, even in the One Power.

• He envied Lews Therin, because of his success.

• It is not known, only rumored, where he is at or what he is doing.

• In WH we get a good point of view from Demandred and at the end he sees one of the Asha'man (I think it was Flinn) and he doesn't recognize him whatsoever.  Also Taim mentioned something about taking orders from Demandred.  So that basically solves that mystery.

Graendal (Kamarile Maradim Nindar)

Lanfear (Mierin Eronaile)
The Great Hunt, Chapter 48

• In The Age of Legends, Mierin and Beidoman claimed to have found a thin place in the pattern that appeared to cover an undivided source of the One Power separate from the True Source.  This power did not have the restrictions of the True Source as it could be used by both men and women.  Using the One Power they bored through to the source of the unusual Power emanations.  What they actually discovered was the Dark Ones prison outside the pattern.  The hole they created has been ever after known as the Bore.  The Bore was not large enough for the Dark One to escape, but it was large enough to allow him to touch the world.
