Fain in the Blight guttering flame Send a noteboard - 16/12/2010 10:15:02 AM
The Shadow and its servants don't like Fain. The Dark One is a control freak by all indications and Fain, is a lose cannon. In tSR they try to eliminate him by sending their top-assassin Slayer to finish him off and there are indications that they still want to be rid of him in later books as well.

In ToM we find Fain in the Blight making his way to Shayol Ghul itself with the intent of confronting Rand before he can fulfill his prophesied blood-shedding on the rocks of SG.

How in the name of the Great Lord and the Pattern can that happen? Surely the Dark One would eliminate him before he can interfere with its plans? This plot makes no sense!

Even supposing Fain can subdue any opposition sent against him with his knife's super-fog-powers he needs to lose a few drops of blood to win each conflict and the DO has more than enough cannon-fodder monsters to bleed Fain dry long before he reaches Shyol Ghul.
