Who are the other characters in The Wheel of Time?
Other important characters include—obviously—the Dark One (Fares Fares), who’s as smooth-talking and sinister as you’d expect a Satan-like figure to be. There’s Logain (Álvaro Morte), a man who can channel and believes he’s the Dragon Reborn, but—after causing no small amount of chaos, including the death of an Aes Sedai—he’s declared the “False Dragon” and has his power taken away.
We also meet various other members of the Aes Sedai. Moiraine has many enemies among her “sisters,” especially the scheming Liandrin (Kate Fleetwood), but she has some crucial allies, including Siuan Sanche (Sophie Okonedo), who’s the head of the Aes Sedai, known as “the Amyrlin Seat.” We get a little glimpse of Siuan’s humble childhood, but the main thing to remember about her is: she’s only pretending to loathe Moiraine. They are secretly a couple, and Siuan is 100 percent aboard with Moiraine’s plan to steer the Dragon Reborn down the right path—to the point of banishing her beloved from the White Tower so the other women don’t suspect their alliance.
And, finally, there’s Loial—name pronounced “loyal”—a cheerful and wise Ogier (basically… an ogre) played by Hammed Animashaun, who befriends the Two Rivers villagers, especially Perrin, and helps them on their journey.
