The Wheel of Time: Book 2The Great Hunt
by Robert Jordan
Spirit of the last leader of the city of Aridhol who used evil as a weapon against the Shadow. Eventually that evil destroyed Aridhol and everyone who lived there, tainting the very ground it rested on. Mordeth is always on the lookout for innocent passers-by that come into Shadar Logoth (the new name for Aridhol)--it is said that if he ever accompanied anyone to the city walls, he would be able to consume that person's soul. This happened in the case of Padan Fain, but Mordeth was unable to completely consume Fain's soul. Instead, Fain's evil from the Dark One combined with Mordeth's evil to create something that was more evil than either of them alone, possibly more evil than the Dark One himself.

Sleek, overfed man with drooping eyelids. He is short and completely bald. Rand, Mat, and Perrin encountered him in Aridhol when they went off to see the city. In reality, Mordeth was the advisor to Balwen, the last king of Aridhol. He ordered the death of Caar, heir to the throne of Manetheren, when he came to Aridhol in an attempt to bring it back to the Second Covenant. His spirit has been trapped inside the walls of Aridhol ever since, and it is said that if he ever accompanies anyone to the city walls, he will be able to consume that person's soul and escape.
