He was dispatched 'fairly easily' because he was betrayed by Moridin . Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 22/11/2009 08:09:38 PM
As far as I remember, there was a scene with him spying on Elayne in T'A'R in LoC.

And given his POVs during the Cleansing, he is probably the most capable and far-thinking of the Forsaken. Even Graendal acknowledges that.

To some extent, tGS's prologue actually softened Semirhage before the rest of the book through Graendal's POV, while simultaneously sharpening Demandred's claws - I think he is the one we'll learn to fear in ToM. So far we've seen his work in Masema and Asunawa, if not others (Weiramon perhaps, maybe also Taim).

His weakness is of course quite obvious - an unswerving hate for Rand/LTT. How this can be exploited however is another matter.

Also, Arang'ar seems to be a lingering threat. I think it's more likely that Narishma will deal with her than Demmy, given his anger over Eben Hopwil's death.


I don't understand why people think that Demandred is such a threat. He was not a better or more dangerous Forsaken than Sammael and their accomplishments in the War of Power were close on identical. Sammael was a thorn in Rand's foot, but he was dispatched of relatively easily. Once Rand gets hold of Demandred's location, he'll destroy him. If Demandred is that lucky... I'm still convinced Rand will send a relatively powerful circle to kill Demandred while he takes care of Moridin.

I would love to see tSR and tFoH from Moiraine's perspective - 20/11/2009 08:22:55 AM 1036 Views
I imagine it took A LOT of frustration and anger management. *NM* - 20/11/2009 08:27:13 AM 602 Views
I don't think Moiraine became meek at all - 20/11/2009 11:06:05 AM 1029 Views
That's what I meant, actually - 21/11/2009 03:44:26 AM 1049 Views

I agree with Cannoli completely. (Did I just say that?) - 19/11/2009 11:18:09 PM 1217 Views

Agreed. I thought it worked. *NM* - 19/11/2009 10:40:04 PM 601 Views
Are you feeling all right? If you are, Cannoli is right, and you're pathetic. - 19/11/2009 10:18:54 PM 1212 Views
See my response to Cannoli. *NM* - 19/11/2009 10:25:15 PM 649 Views
That was barely a response... - 20/11/2009 12:43:07 AM 1075 Views

Nobody's even tried to kill them since Ishamael died, until he gave the order again in KoD. - 13/05/2010 01:13:02 AM 997 Views
It'd be harder to kill them now as they have come into their own power - 21/06/2010 01:18:31 AM 976 Views
