First of all, Taim is not Demandred. That would be to easy and it wouldn't fit it with the Forsaken attitude towards the Dragon Reborn. Second of all, Demandred wouldn't teach hundreds of males how to use the one power to kill or even just how to use the One Power. Third, Robert Jordan has been quoted saying things about Mazrim's personality and when he heard about this stupid theory about Taim being Demandred he laughed and explained that Mazrim Taim was one paranoid piece of work and that it was possible for Taim to have lasted this long channeling the One Power. Trust me it won't happen. I do believe that Logain and Mazrim will meet up sometime soon, possibly Logain has changed "teams"? Well, who knows, but I still haven't heard a very compelling theory of why Taim has to be Demandred.

1998-06-09 Some Interesting theories here, but I don't think Mr. Jordan would put Logain close to Rand so soon. I think he's holding him in reserve as a wild card. Possibly Logain's blood must stain the rocks of Shayol Ghul. Call it a hunch.

1998-06-17 The reason I thought Taim could be Demandred is when LTT Tells Rand to kill him In Caemlyn, I am not sure of the page or book, when Rand teleports in. LTT doesn't have such vehiment anger toward anyone other than a Forsaken, but then again he is nuts. This would also place Demandred in an excelent position to killAsmodean. And I don't see why he wouldn't train an Army (for lack of a better word, Marines or Special Forces if you like) of men to kill with the power. This gives an unstoppable Army that would rival any now, and almost up to par with old army's when the Forsaken first walked the Earth.

1998-06-17 That thought has crossed my mind, because LTT does say some interesting things such as that, does LTT make those same comments when Asmodean is around? I will have to look into that some more, could the voices all male Aes Sedai be from the DO?
