I think Taim has been a darkfriend for years - maybe even his whole life.

At some stage he was picked up by one of the male Forsaken and trained a little. He was undoubtedly picked up by Ishamael at a very early stage, and rescued by his command, but his training could have been under a different Forsaken, like Demandred or Sammael. If he's even had training - he may just be a very skilled channeler who's worked out some secret weaves.

Either way, I think he's Alviarin's equivalent. She was selected to be the head of the BA long ago by Ishamael, and eventually Mesaana picked her up and trained her a little. It's similar with Taim.

IMO RJ shot down Taimandred in order to surprise us. But you make good points. *NM* Lord Haart - 06/12/2009 10:17:56 AM 414 Views

I not only agree with your Arangar theory, I think it is undoubtedly true... Shannow - 06/12/2009 11:55:25 AM 665 Views

I posted a theory at the old wotmania that maybe he is "linked" to Demandred. Tom - 06/12/2009 03:23:09 PM 528 Views

Why is Taim believed to be directed by Moridin? Shannow - 06/12/2009 05:55:44 PM 575 Views
Re: Why is Taim believed to be directed by Moridin? darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 06:00:15 PM 598 Views
If you base it on Osangar, then you should also say Moridin was in charge of Egwene... Shannow - 06/12/2009 06:04:37 PM 699 Views

Agreed ... this seems just a hangover from Taimandred theory to me darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 06:33:32 PM 635 Views
Moridin didn't EXIST when Taim first arrived in Caemlyn... Shannow - 06/12/2009 06:37:42 PM 643 Views

very well said darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 07:15:22 PM 539 Views
A few points... Shannow - 06/12/2009 07:24:09 PM 499 Views
You are making an assumption that Demandred could have done all this is a few months darius_sedai - 06/12/2009 08:18:43 PM 492 Views
Yes, I am assuming that... Shannow - 06/12/2009 08:34:40 PM 549 Views

While I agree on most of it I have to ask how Taim picked up AoL mannerisms unless darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 03:48:41 PM 497 Views

I'll have to go back and check, but I could have sworn there was an Aiel thing too darius_sedai - 07/12/2009 09:14:29 PM 451 Views

100 Ashaman, plus the Dragonsworn, plus the Whitecloaks, plus Murandy would be an achievement... Shannow - 07/12/2009 12:49:31 PM 521 Views
Probably over 100, plus he picks the most powerful of them. Lord Haart - 07/12/2009 02:34:25 PM 470 Views
