I assume you are talking about the person who wants Slayer to kill Nynaeve and Lan. This is a cool thought that this guy is Sammael but he doesn't want anyone to know he's alive...good question, why else disguise himself with Slayer?

I think Sammael is alive. No other major player has died offscreen, except Lanfear and Moiraine... Oh wait a sec... they're not dead either are they? My bad! <br><br> <br><br>(See what I mean). <br><br> <br><br>RJ said in an interview that Madashar got Sammael; "Sammael is toast". <br><br>But he could have lied, or Sammy could have been reincarnated. He was not balefired, after all, and had not had any major failures to disgrace himself.

I dont believe that RJ lied to us, and the reincarnation thing may be a possibility but this is doubtfull. I say this because his soul was consumed by mashdar (sp). We know that mashadar does have the power to consume souls and he did get sammy, so it is reasonable to conclude that sammy (and his soul) are mashadar. <br><br>I wonder, if the black wind eats your soul, can you be brought back? What hapens to those souls? Personally i think that mashadar and the black wind are the souls of those they have consumed, driven mad of course.
