• Sevanna: Wise One of the Jumai sept of the Shaido Aiel. She is the widow of the last two chiefs of the Shaido, Suladric and Couladin. She has green eyes. She knows that the easiest way to power for herself is to attach herself to men who already hold power; she even envisioned marrying Rand(against his will) to gain power through him. She is currently leading her clan (and any Aiel deserters that joined her) through Kinslayer's Dagger.
• Sheriam: Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah with fiery hair. She was Mistress of Novices in the White Tower before she fled to Salidar with the rest of her Ajah. She led the group of six sisters that hold most of the influence in Salidar, despite not being part of the Hall of the Tower.

• Graendal: One of the Forsaken. A fleshy woman with curled red-gold hair. Before the War of the Shadow, she became the leading authority on diseases of the brain, and spent much of her life dealing with the insane, schizophrenic, and others well beyond the touch of Healing. She was the best at subtle manipulations of the human mind that ever lived.

Rand put her in charge of Cairhien along with Rhuarc until she left with Perrin and Faile to find Masema. She is fond of wearing the latest fashion in dresses, and those are usually quite revealing.

She is a very capable ruler, willing to do almost anything to preserve the welfare and independence of her people.

• Taim (aka Mazrim Taim): False Dragon who wreaked havoc in Saldaea before being captured by Aes Sedai. He later escaped his captors, possibly with Black Ajah assistance. Hearing of Rand's amnesty, Taim came to Caemlyn and became the head of Rand's school of male channelers. He is almost as strong in the One Power as Rand is. Taim claims to have held off the madness that normally accompanies the taint for almost 35 years. He seems to resent being second to Rand. Among his students, he is known as M'Hael, “Leader.”

• Adeleas (aka Adeleas Namelle): Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah, one of two Aes Sedai who went into voluntary retreat many years ago to Tifan's Well, a village located in the grassy plains of Arafel, along with her sister Vandene. Their goal was some day to write the complete history of the World since the Breaking, and some even before that. She is now in Ebou Dar with Elayne and Nynaeve. Mat cannot tell Adeleas and Vandene apart, even though they are not twins.
• Aemin: Graying, blocky farrier.
• Aemlyn (aka Aemlyn Carand): Andoran lady, leader of a strong House that supported Morgase during the Succession. Morgase exiled her from Caemlyn as per Gaebril's suggestion. Elayne hopes that she will still support her, but is not certain she will.

• Agelmar (aka Agelmar Jagad): Easar's general in Shienar. He is possibly the best military commander alive (excepting possibly Mat and the Aiel chiefs).

He was the one who created the Trollocs, Dragkhar, gholam, Darkhounds, and other Shadowspawn. He was the second one to be released from the sealing on the Bore, after Balthamel. He was killed by Rand at the Eye of the World.
• Ailil (aka Ailil Riatin): Slim, dignified woman with big dark eyes. Not young, but pretty. She is Toram Riatin's sister, and will do anything for him if he asked her to. She is tall for a Cairhienin woman (and only for a Cairhienin woman...).

• Alsalam (aka Alsalam Saeed Almadar): The King of Arad Doman. He was not good enough for Graendal's collection.
• Alsbet (aka Alsbet Luhhan): Wife of Haral, the blacksmith of Emond's Field. She is almost as large as her husband, which is quite big.
• Alviarin (aka Alviarin Freidhen): Aes Sedai of the White Ajah, but secretly the head of the Black Ajah. Typical of most Whites, she has a very cool, collected personality. She serves as Keeper of the Chronicles under Elaida, despite being of a different Ajah than Elaida was raised from. Elaida was all but forced to choose Alviarin in order to gain the support of the White Ajah when bringing charges against Siuan. Alviarin has been shown how to Travel by Mesaana.

She, like all Blues, fled the Tower when Elaida was raised to the Striped Stole, and now carries a position of considerable influence in the “Little Tower” in Salidar.
• Anaiyella (aka Anaiyella Narencelona): Willowy, simpering High Lady of Tear. She seems a fool, and is all mincing elegance and simpers.

• Arlen (aka Arlen Nalaam): Soldier in the Black Tower.
• Arrela (aka Arrela Shiego, Arella): Tall, dark-skinned woman who wears a sword in slight imitation of the Aiel. She has short hair. Unlike her companion Lacile, she makes it clear that she would as soon kiss a dog as any man. She is currently traveling with Perrrin's group.
• Artur Hawkwing (aka Artur Paendrag Tanreall): Hero of Legend who conquered much of the known world about a thousand years ago. He was perhaps the most strongly ta'veren man besides Lews Therin Telamon and Rand al'Thor. He sent troops across the Aryth Ocean under his son, Luthair Paendrag Mondwhin, in hopes of conquering new lands there. The descendants of the armies under Luthair have now returned to reclaim the lands of Hawkwing's empire in the Old World—they now call themselves the Seanchan.
• Arymilla (aka Arymilla Marne): Brown-eyed Andoran noble with a habit of fainting. She opposed Morgase during the Succession. The only real reason Rand kept her around in Caemlyn was to push others into supporting Dyelin; no one wanted Andor in the hands of Arymilla.
• Asmodean: One of the Forsaken. He was born Joar Addam Nessosin in the then coastal city of Shorelle, a child prodigy in music and art. After being released from the Bore, he was coerced by Lanfear into coming with her, eventually to teach Rand to channel without killing himself. He became Rand's teacher, and went into hiding from the rest of the Chosen, who would kill him on sight if they saw him. He was killed by someone of unknown identity right after Rahvin and Lanfear were killed/trapped.
• Asra: One of the Kin. She got vocal about recent events along with Sarainya.
• Bain: Maiden of the Spear of the Black Rock sept of the Shaarad Aiel. She has flame-colored hair. She is first-sister to Chiad, of the Goshien Aiel; the two had to sneak through the camp of the other to find the Wise Ones to become first sisters, since their clans were in blood feud at the time. She is now one of the Maidens who accompanies Faile, a similar honor guard to what Rand has, although smaller and for different reasons.
• Assid Bakuun: Commander of the Armies of the Return. He has spent thirty years in the army serving the Empress.
• Baldhere: Swordbearer to Ethenielle of Kandor. He holds the Sword of Kirukan. He is slender and has white hair at his temples. He has a biting tongue. After Ethenielle's husband died, she chose him to command her army in his place.
• Bela: Siuan's mare. She is short, shaggy, and quite docile. Egwene rode her out of Emond's Field when she left with Moiraine and Lan. Bela actually belongs to Tam al'Thor, and Rand suggested her as a way to take Egwene with them.
• Beldeine (aka Beldeine Nyram): Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah. She has no Warders, which is extremely unusual for a Green. She was raised to the shawl about three years ago, and as yet is too new to the shawl to have the ageless look. She was captured at Dumai's Wells and is now a prisoner of the Aiel.
• Belinde: Wise One of the Shaido Aiel. She is particularly nasty to Galina, especially after Galina slapped her.
• Benly (aka Benly Coplin): Man from Emond's Field. He died when Rand was a boy because he refused to eat—he was convinced his food was poisoned.
• Beonin (aka Beonin Marinye): Aes Sedai of the Gray Ajah. She is pretty, has honey-colored hair, and grew up in Tarabon. Her blue-gray eyes seem to constantly look startled. Nothing seems to surprise her, though, and Elayne thinks she would not believe the Sun would come up unless she saw it herself, and if one morning it did not, she would just take it to confirm that she was correct to demand proof. She was one of the six sisters in Salidar that have most of the authority, despite not being part of the Hall of the Tower.
• Bera (aka Bera Harkin): Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah. She has three Warders. She was sent, along with Kiruna, to establish diplomatic relations with Rand in the Aiel Waste. She grew up in Andor. After following Rand to Dumai's Wells, she was made to swear fealty to him.
• Berana: Sitter for the White Ajah amongst the rebel Aes Sedai. She was chosen for the position in Salidar.
• Bernaile (aka Bernaile Gelbarn): Aes Sedai of the White Ajah. She originally went to Salidar, but returned to Tar Valon along with nine others to avoid suspicion from sprouting.
• Berowin: One of the Kin. She has a habit of leaping before she looks. She served as a Wise One in Ebou Dar. Despite being weak in the one Power, she is good at shielding people, and can shield someone that normally could not be blocked by someone of her strength.

• Brys: Late husband of Queen Ethenielle of Kandor.
• Caddar: Tall man who gave Sevanna a call box to summon him with and eventually helped send her armies to Ghealdan, although that is not what Sevanna thought he was going to do….

• Camaille (aka Camaille Nolaisen): One of the Cairhienin women who tries to imitate the Aiel Maidens of the Spear, only using swords instead. Very quick.

• Cemaile (aka Cemaile Sorenthaine): Amyrlin Seat about three hundred years ago (two Amyrlins after Gerra Kishar). She was raised from the Gray Ajah. She was considered weak as Amyrlin. In memory of the days before the Trolloc Wars when no ruler held a throne without the White Tower's approval, she had a gilded clock commissioned. The clock was taken down and forgotten in storage after she died, and it did not reappear until Elaida put it back up when she was raised.
• Cenn (aka Cenn Buie): Knarled man from Emond's Field with a raspy voice. He is the local thatcher, and sits on the Village Council. He always produced conflict with others.
• Chaelin: Kiruna's taskmistress.
• Chesa: One of Egwene's maids as the Amyrlin Seat. Egwene often lets her sit in on meetings with Sheriam, her Keeper of the Chronicles, because her unexpected chatter often unsettles Sheriam just enough for Egwene to sidestep what Sheriam was suggesting in a discrete way.
• Chiad: Maiden of the Spear of the Stones River sept of the Goshien Aiel. She is short for an Aiel woman, and has blonde hair. Gaul wants her to marry him, but she will not give up the spear.

• Coladara: Aes Sedai of unknown Ajah. She serves as advisor to King Paitar of Arafel. She was one of the Accepted when the Dragon was reborn.
• Colavaere (aka Colavaere Saighan): Woman who claimed the Sun Throne when Rand was taken prisoner by Aes Sedai. When he returned, he dethroned her and stripped her of all her titles and estates. Rather than living in shame, she committed suicide.

• Coram: Broad-shouldered Aiel who guards Verin against anyone who might misunderstand her position in the Aiel camp.

• Darlin (aka Lord Darlin Sisnera): A High Lord of Tear, one of those who went into hiding in Haddon Mirk once the battle at Cairhien was over. Rand says he almost admires him—he opposed Rand from the very start, fleeing the Stone of Tear when it fell and trying to rouse resistance among the rural nobles. He is considering Elaida's offer of support if he declares himself king of Tear.

He was born Barid Bel Medar one day after Lews Therin Telamon, and from the first day proceeded to almost equal Lews Therin's accomplishments, almost equal Lews Therin's strength, and almost equal him but never surpass him in everything. Demandred was recently told by the Dark One to lead his plan to convert or destroy Rand, and promised him to be Nae'blis if he succeeded.

• Elyas (aka Elyas Machera): Man that Perrin met right after leaving home. Elyas was a Warder at one time, and left the Tower when he discoverd that he could talk to wolves. He did not find any problem with the ability by itself, but felt the need to get away from the Red Ajah, who thought they should gentle him (even though there was nothing to be gentled) because of his ability.

• Gawyn (aka Gawyn Trakand): Son of Queen Morgase of Andor and brother to Elayne. He and his half-brother Galad went to train with the Warders in the White Tower and both now possess considerable skill with the sword.

He believes the rumor that Rand killed his mother, and only refrains from killing him because Egwene made him promise not to. His sign is a white boar.
• Gerra (aka Gerra Kishar): Amyrlin Seat of about four hundred years ago. She was raised from the Gray Ajah, and was among the greatest Amyrlins since the time of Artur Hawkwing - she was somewhat of a legend. Siuan thinks Egwene might be trying to imitate her.

• Herid (aka Herid Fel): Late philosopher who worked in Rand's school. He was torn limb from limb by a gholam, or possibly Slayer, for unknown reasons, although it is likely that he'd stumbled upon something quite damaging to the cause of the Shadow if they'd send a gholam or Slayer to do the job. Min is currently reading his book, Reason and Unreason, in an attempt to better understand why he was murdered.
• Ieine: One of the Kin. She is almost as tall as Aviendha and as dark-skinned as the Sea Folk.

All of the Andoran nobles are related to her somehow, although most people would not even consider the ones who hold the closest relation to her to be related at all.

• Jaem: Warder bonded to Vandene. He is old and grizzly.
• Jaichim (aka Jaichim Carridin): Inquisitor for the Hand of the Light, better known as the Questioners; he aspires to some day become High Inquisitor, perhaps even Lord Captain Commander. Surprisingly enough for a Whitecloak, much less a Questioner, Carridin is a Darkfriend.

• Jarid (aka Jarid Sarand): Elenia's husband. A square-faced man, he is dark for an Andorman.

Niall was killed by his alleged Spymaster, Abdel Omerna, who claimed he had gone against everything the Children stood for by allowing Morgase to avoid being put to the question. He was replaced by Eamon Valda, who also killed Omerna. Rumor puts him dead in a duel or a skirmish.
• Nianh: Aes Sedai of unknown Ajah and former advisor to Queen Ethenielle of Kandor. She told Ethenielle that the Kandori Spire was a remnant of the Age of Legends and probably harmless.

After being released from the Bore, he took up residence on the Council of Nine in Illian as Lord Brend. He wore a battle scar that he got while fighting Lews Therin Telamon during the War of the Shadow. He could have had it Healed, but kept it to remind himself of what Lews Therin had done to him. He is believed dead at the hands of Mashadar.
• Sarainya (aka Sarainya Vostovan): One of the Kin. She has a husky voice, and is not strong enough in the Power to become an Aes Sedai.

• Semaradrid (aka Semaradrid Maravin): Cairhienin lord. He has dark eyes. He dislikes Tairens, and sees all of them with contempt.
• Semirhage: One of the Forsaken. During the Age of Legends, she was one of the best Healers ever known. After being freed from the Bore, Semirhage went in service to the Dark One by extracting information from captured Borderlanders and Aes Sedai.

• Lady Serailla: Ethenielle's First Councilor. She is stout and calm.
• Sereille (aka Sereille Bagand): Amyrlin Seat of just over a hundred years ago. She was raised from the White Ajah, and was somewhat of a legend. She served as Mistress of Novices when Vandene was still in training, and had a repuatation of being one of the strictest taskmistresses around.
• Shaidar Haran: A Myrddraal of special abilities who escorts the Chosen (i.e. Forsaken) to the Pit of Doom to converse with the Dark One. He is head and shoulders taller than all other Myrddraal, who are the height of an average man and all the same height. His name means “Hand of the Dark” in the Old Tongue; most Myrddraal names come from the Trolloc tongue. He is given special consideration; the ceiling of the entrance to the Pit of Doom does not brush his head as it does everyone else's.
• Shalon (aka Shalon din Togara Morning Tide): Windfinder of Clan Shodein.
• Sharina (aka Sharina Melloy): Grandmother recruited as a novice along the way from Salidar to Tar Valon. She has more potential than Nynaeve. There is a distinct possibility that this Sharina is the same one as the Aes Sedai advisor to Nynaeve and Lan from Nynaeve's test for being raised to Accepted.
• Shein (aka Shein Chunla): Amyrlin Seat of about four hundred years ago, just before Gerra Kishar. She was raised from the Green Ajah. She squandered the power of the Amyrlin and was actually deposed and exiled, although the story in public was that she died in office. Four plots attempted to restore her to the Amyrlin Seat; after the fourth, she was smothered in her sleep with a pillow by the sisters guarding her.
• Shevan: Sitter for the Brown Ajah in Tar Valon. She is bonily thin and taller than most men. She has an angular face, long chin, spidery fingers, and curly hair.
• Shiaine (aka Shiaine Avarhin): Darkfriend who previously worked for Jaichim Carridin and now commands her own circle of Darkfriends. She tried to kill Mat when she found him and Rand in a shed on their way from Emond's Field to Fal Dara. She gives orders to Daved Hanlon.
• Sibella: One of the Kin. She is scrawny, and has yellow hair.
• Silviana (aka Silviana Brehon): Mistress of Novices in the White Tower. She is from the Red Ajah, and was appointed by Elaida after Sheriam left the Tower. She is stocky, and has a square face.

• Sumeko (aka Sumeko Karistovan): One of the Kin. She is a very skilled Healer, and has developed methods of Healing that not even Nynaeve has been able to develop - in fact, the only thing similar would be the methods Damer Flinn has developed among the Asha'man. She is possibly the most skilled female Healer alive outside of Semirhage. She is stout.

• Surasa: Near Legendary ancestor of Queen Ethenielle of Kandor.

• Talene (aka Talene Minly): Sitter for the Green Ajah in Tar Valon. She has golden hair, and has a statuesque air. She was friends with Seaine before the rift that formed between the Ajahs went up. She earned more punishments as a novice than any other woman in history. Quite possibly of the Black Ajah - she refused to re-swear the Three Oaths and deny being a Darkfriend.
• Tallanvor (aka Martyn Tallanvor): One of Maighdin's companions. He is actually a tall young man from Andor who served in the Queen's Guards until Morgase fled Andor. When Gaebril had the guards swear new oaths to the laws and customs of Andor (instead of to the Queen), Tallanvor swore them but immediately went back to his room and reswore the old oath in the old style (cutting his arm with his sword, indicating that his blood will be shed before the Queen's will). He loves his queen more than his life, and now serves as her personal bodyguard.
• Talmanes (aka Talmanes Delovinde): A Cairhienin military commander, about three years older than Mat and about a head shorter. His con is three yellow stars on a blue field.

He commands about half of Mat's cavalry in the Band of the Red Hand, and acts as the leader of the entire Band in Mat's absence.
• Tam (aka Tamlin al'Thor): Rand's father. He taught Rand about the Flame and the Void, a trick he uses to concentrate and to win archery competitions; Rand found that it is the way he can gain access to saidin. Tam is not actually Rand's biological father; he found Rand as a newborn on the slopes of Dragonmount and took him home with him since Rand's mother was dead.

• Tamarla: Lean, olive-skinned Kinswoman. She is very old, and grew up in Altara.
• Tamra (aka Tamra Ospenya): Amyrlin Seat before Sierin Vayu, raised from the Blue Ajah.

Her Keeper of the Chronicles was Gitara Moroso; she was one of only three people present at Gitara's Foretelling of the Rebirth of the Dragon. This may be the information that Jarna was trying to extract from her; it may also be the reason Ishamael killed Jarna for killing Tamra.
• Tauan: A morat'raken who died at Aes Sedai hands.
• Tebreille (aka Tebreille din Gelyn South Wind): Windfinder to a Clan Wavemistress. She is Caire's sister and Talaan's aunt.

• The Creator: The maker of the Universe, people, places, things, the True Source, everything in existence. After He created the world, the Creator made a prison for Shai'tan, the Dark One, His complete opposite in every way, to keep him from influencing the world. The Creator is bent on non-interference—He will not directly influence events in the world, instead using a “Chosen One” or simply tugging at the Pattern of the Age in hopes that what He wants to occur will occur, instead of just making it happen.
• Theodrin (aka Theodrin Dabei): Slim, apple-cheeked Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah. She was among the four raised to full sisterhood by Egwene. Before being raised, she tried to dismantle Nynaeve's block without success.

• Tialin: Lanky, red-haired Wise One. She can channel.
• Tiam (aka Tiam of Gazar): Person who proposed the Gazaran Calendar, which celebrated the alleged freedom from the Trolloc threat by recording Free Years (FY).

• Tylin (aka Tylin Quintara Mitsobar): By the Grace of the Light, Queen of Altara, Mistress of the Four Winds, Guardian of the Sea of Storms, High Seat of House Mitsobar. Her kingdom is small, and she only rules a portion of it; the rest is governed by nobles who are not necessarily loyal to her. She is the second from her House to sit on the throne - this is the maximum traditionally, and the only House to hold it for four generations fell so fast from power that it could not recover. She is advised by Merilille Ceandevin of the Gray Ajah.
• Uno (aka Uno Nomesta): A Shienaran officer who accompanied the Emond's Fielders away from Shienar. He is the one who gave orders to Masema before he became the Prophet.

• Valda (aka Eamon Valda): New Lord Captain Commander of the Children of the Light after the death of Pedron Niall. He killed Niall's assassin shortly after the act, but it is not known whether this was set up, or whether Valda just happened to be in the right place at the right time. One of his first acts was to dismiss Niall's secretary, Sebban Balwer, for “someone who did not twitch” - this was a mistake, as Balwer was Niall's true Master of Spies - he likely knows more about spying than anyone else in the world.
• Vandene (aka Vandene Namelle): Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, one of two Aes Sedai who went into voluntary retreat many years ago to Tifan's Well, a village located in the grassy plains of Arafel, along with her sister Adeleas. Their goal was some day to write the complete history of the World since the Breaking, and some even before that.

• Vanin (aka Chel Vanin): Fat man who Mat uses as a scout. He is a good rider, and Mat thinks he could steal a hen pheasant's eggs with her sitting on them (although he would likely steal her, too)—he also thinks Vanin could steal a horse out from under a nobleman and he would not know it for two days.
