Well, first I do not believe that Taim is one of the forsaken, The main thing that sticks out in my head, is somewhere in the books I'm not sure where, Rand is having one of his conflicts with LTT And it says something like, he looked up and was surp...

The main reason Rand and Taim got off to such a bad start was that Taim was thinking partnership, and Rand was thinking "I AM THE DRAGON REBORN!!!! BOW DOWN!" Taim resents Rand for sticking him with teaching the Asha'man, although that is becoming mo...

I'm back again for a totally off the wall view. Mazrim Taim I think he is Demandred. There are a lot of little things that people have posted but the most convincing in my mind is in the chapter 'Patterns within Patterns' in aCoS when Sammael and Gra...

Many people have claimed that Taim cannot be Demandred as Rand doesn't see the black cord that connects him to the DO. However Rand only saw the black threads when he followed Asmodean into Tel'aran'rhiod and even commented to himself "Those Rand had...

I would just like to post this so as to stamp out any resistance as to wether Taim is one of the forsaken or not. I remember in LoC when Taim steps through the gateway and kills the grey man, he says something along the lines of,"these so called Aiel...

When Rand sets up the Farm for training he mentions to Taim to be on the lookout for anyone who learns to quickly, that he could possibly be Forsaken. Taim looks disturbed at this because, we assume, he doesn't like the idea of Forsaken on the loose....

Again I believe until further (harder) evidence is presented that Taim and Logain are who they say they are the fact that Halima freed Logain could mean that he is a darkfriend might be the second mind trap for all we know but I think he will be up t...

There seems to be a large amount of discussion on the point of whether or not Taim = Demandred. Most people seem to think he is, and there is some evidence to support this, but I do not believe it. I don't think Taim is exactly a DF either. Why? Beca...

I don't think it is as simple as that. Mr Jordan has indicated since book 1 that Logain will play a significant role in the future. Rand foresaw Logain's eventual escape while the man was being paraded through Caemlyn. Many of the characters and thei...

I think Taim may just turn to the Shadow, like Demadred and Sammnael did. Darkfriends always talking about at the time of the DO's return new dreadlords will be raised up. In Taim's absence Rand will turn to the only other experienced male channeler,...

1.) In intro to LoC, when Mesaana is meeting with Semirhage, Greandal, and Demandred, Mesaana describes Demandred as hawk-nosed and of believing that Lew Therin "too often managed to scrape up luck" in the SAME paragraph(LoC, hardcover, p56-7). Later...

I guess i'll concede with the masses, and say taim is probably demandred. the whole giving rand the seal is a bit weird, and freaking out that rand was about to smash it, but... taim is too convenient and too knowledgable at times i think we've heard...

Here is my reasons for Taim maybe being Demandred in disguise. Many others have used Taims looks as a reason, but Demandred wouldve suspected that Rand, being Lews Therin reborn, could identify him from his looks. If Demandred used inverted weaves to...

I don't think that Taim is Demandred. First of all, he saved Rand at least twice (the first time being when Rand got captured by Elaida's Aes Sedai) and also Taim continues to turn out Asha'man and does what Rand says. Another thing is, when Taim was...

There are many excellent arguements that Taim is Demandred, enough so that I am fairly convinced this is true. Two last arguments apply: 1) Demandred is present in Caemlyn T'a'R observing Nynaeve and Elayne in LoC. same time line as Taim residing nea...

I think that Mazrim Taim is who he says he is. There are just too many hints about him being Demandred. It seems that Robert Jordan is trying to fool the readers into believing Taim is Demandred. His hints are so obvious that it just doesn't follow R...

Okay people Taim IS NOT Demandred. Laugh all you want but I have evidence that I believe supports it. <br> <br>When Taim first comes to Caemlyn in LoC he gives Rand one of the 7 seals. There is no way that one of the Forsaken would ever give the Dra...

Okay, so I have several different ideas about several different things. First is about the Taim/Demandred thing. There are so many things that point to Taim as being Demandred. Here is some proof: <br> <br>1.) Taim is a man about 35 years old. That ...

Ok, its been too long since i reread the books, but wasnt Lews Therin healed by Ishy so LTT could recognize that he had killed his wife and all his kin? Didnt Ishy say that his healing was more painful than Aes Sedai healing but also not temporary? M...

I beleive that Rand is losing his mind, but not to the taint but to LTT. Put it this way..in one of the other books (i cant remember which) Rand is thinking to himself that he would hate to be like LTT and stuck in the back of someone elses head what...
