Moridin

When he was killed in the Heart of the Stone by Rand al'Thor, the Dark One resurrected him into a new body and with a new name, Moridin. He is now very tall and broad shouldered, he has very blue eyes and a deep voice and looks to be in his mid 20's with black hair. Moridin means "death" in the Old Tongue; he was given the title of Nae'blis by the Dark One, effectively naming him his regent on the Day of the Return, the coveted position that sets him above the other Forsaken. He only channels the True Power now, a power similar to the One Power but which flows from the Dark One, and he is now the only one of the Forsaken allowed to use the True Power. It is quite possible that he also used it as Ba'alzamon, since he performed numerous feats of altering reality that Rand could not see weaves for.

Moridin has two Cour'souvra (mindtraps) around his neck. One holds Moghedien, the other Cyndane (Lanfear). He has started to consolidate the power of the Shadow under his command as he once did as Ba'alzamon. Other Chosen say that now he is even madder than before, though he has much more control over himself.

There has been indication that a connection between himself and Rand al'Thor has been established when the two accidentally clashed two beams of balefire together. Rand has been frequently afflicted with illnesses that Nyneave cannot find the root of, particularly one with his eyes as she indicated at the end of Knife of Dreams, that Moridin may be experiencing due to his extensive use of the True Power, which has been shown to affect the eyes with the saa, black flecks that float across the eyes of someone who has used too much of the True Power. This and the fact that Rand and Lews Therin both periodically see a face in their head that in KoD was shown to be Moridin. The full repercussions of this bond have yet to be shown, and whether or not the odd sicknesses that Rand has been suffering are due to damage his body sustained wielding tainted saidin, or because of their connection and Moridin's rampant use of the venomous True Power. It is interesting to note, however, there were no real indications to his sickness until after the events of the seventh book, A Crown of Swords, when the two clashed balefire at Shadar Logoth.
