| Re: Is Mazrim Taim Demandred?
Looks like this post is fairly old but had to add my two cents after reading
LOC a second time.
Robert Jordan was quoted as saying that Demandred has "never posed as Taim" and ends the sentence with a cryptic remark about truth and Aes Sedai. Has anyone given any thought to the fact that all the Forsaken have real names that they went by before they 'turned'? Lanfear's real name is mentioned in Book 4. What if Demandred is Mazrim Taim, has been always, so therefore he is not posing at all. He simply is.
References are made to the fact that the Forsaken don't want to remember their true selves but Demandred is probably arrogant enough to do this - after all he hates Lews Therin the most, envied him the most, so who better to be than his real self as he pits himself against Rand, whom he would really see as Lews Therin? |
