Towards the end of the book The Dragon Reborn, Moiraine Aes Sedai is trying to figure out who the living Forsaken are. Here is the passage:
“I... may know who he was.” Egwene paused with an uncertain frown. “At least, I may have a clue. Verin showed me a page from an old book that mentioned Ba’alzamon and Ishamael together. It was almost High Chant and very nearly incomprehensible, but I remember something about ‘a name hidden behind a name.’ Maybe Ba’alzamon was Ishamael.”
“Perhaps,” Moiraine said. “Perhaps it was Ishamael. But if it was, at least nine of the thirteen still live. Lanfear, and Sammael, and Ravhin, and... Paah!"
Who is this Paah? I don't remember hearing him mentioned, but Moiraine Aes Sedai does so here. Is it a nickname used by someone Forsaken, or is it a new, unknown Forsaken that only Moiraine Aes Sedai knows about?
Please no spoilers from later books, if possible.

I don't know who it could be, but it sounds like an Old Tongue name
