Taim has black hair, is above average in height with a dark face, tilted eyes, hooked nose and high cheekbones of a Saldaean. He is said to look perhaps thirty. {Link without Title} As a man who can channel, Taim was declared as by the Black Ajah to be the Dragon Reborn shortly after the series began. Although captured, he escaped and now leads Rand Al'Thor 's male channelers, the Asha'man , and calls himself the M'Hael, which means ''Leader'' in the Old Tongue . He is notably arrogant, forgoing normal Asha'man rankings for blue-and-gold dragons on his coat sleeves, paying homage to Rand's arm markings while apparently mocking him at the same time. Taim came to Rand in Caemlyn shortly after Rand announced an amnesty for men who could channel, carrying one of the seven Seals on the Dark One's prison. He was pursued by Davram Bashere , who became one of Rand's highest generals. For all the speculations of his treachery, Taim turned the Black Tower from a small farmhouse with around a dozen men into the powerhouse of the One Power that it is. Although he certainly does not have Rand's best interests at heart, it has yet to be confermed that Taim is a Darkfriend ; he secretly sent four Asha'man ( Charl Gedwyn , Manel Rochaid , Peral Torval , and Raefar Kisman ; all Darkfriends) to kill Rand near the end of '' The Path Of Daggers ''. It should also be noted that he is at odds with the Asha'man Logain , also a former False Dragon, who holds more loyalty to Rand than Taim does. In '' Knife Of Dreams '', Taim met with the Elaida/White Tower Aes Sedai and agreed to allow the bonding of Asha'man by sisters of the Red Ajah . His justification for this was "Let the Lord of Chaos rule," a phrase unknown outside the circle of the Forsaken. Logain claims that Taim has a small sect of followers, most likely Darkfriends as well, whom he personally teaches weaves that no other Asha'man know. Taim refuses to believe that Rand was responsible for the Cleansing Of ''saidin'' . It is thought that he and his faction will compose of the male Dreadlords at Tarmon Gai'don |
