It doesn't have to be either/or Sidious Send a noteboard - 03/10/2010 09:09:11 PM

Sammael was a good bad guy for Rand to focus on in the middle of the series, but at this point I don't see what plot value another obsessed hater will bring. Demandred is enough on that front.

I never really liked that Sammael died off screen and the only confirmation wen had of his death was from the author, but it also seems RJ was definitive in his comments.


Yes, he'll hate Rand, but he hated him anyway, and on a level that was incomparable to Demandred's.

He's a master general and a specialist in defense. I would choose him almost above any other Forsaken to reincarnate.


He hates Rand more, he is at least as good a general, he was probably stronger in the Power too. Sammael was the warm up act IMO. Bringing Sammael back at this point would be just a move to bolster FS numbers, wouldn't add to the story.


Two generals are obviously better than one. In Lews Therin's final days they said that Demandred, Be'lal and Sammael were cornering him in Paaren Disen. Obviously the threat is less if it's just Demandred.

Okay, I'll have to go look for that mashadar quote. *NM* Sidious - 03/10/2010 04:47:36 PM 230 Views

Sammael is toast *NM* Ava - 03/10/2010 12:56:59 PM 363 Views
That's one of the most misattributed answers I've seen. Fanatic-Templar - 03/10/2010 07:07:32 PM 625 Views
RJ made several statements, and so has BS. He is gone. Here's another: The Angry Druid - 04/10/2010 07:29:29 PM 658 Views
Wow, that pretty much settles it *NM* Sidious - 04/10/2010 09:24:40 PM 211 Views
Along these lines, I think another worthwhile question might be... RandAllThor - 03/10/2010 02:18:31 PM 610 Views
I doubt it ... If RJ intended that I think we would have already seen in In the 3 books since his darius_sedai - 03/10/2010 04:02:45 PM 626 Views
Aginor's a screw up; he had his second chance and blew it badly. Joel - 04/10/2010 08:40:40 AM 594 Views
Aside from the "toast" comments I would have to ask the purpose of his return... darius_sedai - 03/10/2010 04:07:08 PM 609 Views
I think Sammael is a huge asset to the Shadow Sidious - 03/10/2010 04:47:14 PM 699 Views
Demandred serves the exact same purpose and from what we know to a higher level darius_sedai - 03/10/2010 07:47:48 PM 639 Views

True. I'm just saying that this late in the story it would serve little purpose. darius_sedai - 03/10/2010 09:33:03 PM 541 Views

No. We will never see Sammael again EVER. *NM* malekithe - 04/10/2010 04:22:35 AM 256 Views
And how many reincarnated Forsaken had Moiraine met when she made that statement? Joel - 04/10/2010 08:32:36 AM 711 Views
Nope, Sammael has boy parts. That means he's dead for good *NM* ßelals Girl - 05/10/2010 01:02:46 AM 242 Views
This made me smile. *NM* Seriana Sedai - 05/10/2010 08:12:34 PM 434 Views
