I believe Olver is actually Gaidal Cain reborn. In FoH, Birgitte says "I have not seen him (Gaidal Cain) for some time. I think the Wheel has spun him out again. It always happens so." Also, she states that "time here is not like time in the waking w...

I believe that Olver is Gaidal Cain because in tFoH Birgitte says "Gaidal is out there, somwhere, an infant, or even a young boy." Also when Nynaeve saw Gaidal in Tel'aran'rhiod she described him as one of the ugliest man she had ever seen. Olver is ...

Olver is that swordsman of legends. What's his name...... Ah!!!!! Gaidal Cain. Think about it He's damn ugly. I remember reading something about how Nynaeve and Elayne(and all of them), when they found the bowl of the winds, it said they also found t...

I'm not sure about Oliver being Cain, however you all did bring up some good points. My Theory however is that Uno could be Cain. The time flux seems to far off, but it is possible, not to mentions Uno is not one of the prettiest guys around. I don't...

Correct me if I'm wrong (or just ignore this) but Gaidal Cain is Birgette's partner, yes? I don't think Olver could be Gaidal Cain. Does anyone know for a fact how much time has passed since Brigitte was dragged into the real world? Olver would have ...

The theory of Olver being Gaidal Cain is interesting, but for it to be true one of two things needs to happen. <br> <br>1) At the current timespan the books seem to cover (I judge it to be about 2 years at this point), the series would have to go on...

To all who think that Olver is Gaidal Cain... I agree with you. Birgitte informed Elayne that time works differently in Tel'aran'rhiod. That Gaidal could have just been born or could be a young man. I don't think that Uno is Gaidal. (No offense.) Uno...

Ok, let's look at a few facts regarding this theory. At the time of Shadow Rising approximately a year had passed. Currently in the series covers about a two year time span. Birgitt says that Gaidal Cain has been spun out and is now a baby or a littl...

I belive Olver is Gaidal Cain Reborn. Throw out all that Uno bull. Now my theory will be kinda vauge since the books Im drawing info from have fallen apart and been trashed by my family members. If i remember correctly Moggy was captured in a "vacuol...

Ok, here's my theory, and it's a doozy. Olver is really Gaidal Cain. Mat's been playing the Foxes and Snakes game with him (which, if you remember, was patterned after the old agreements and was a lesson on dealing with the people on the other side o...

I reckon Olver might be gaidal caine.. altho this is a weak point..about someone said elayne and da krewz had found the bowl of da wind..and the two rusted swords And just before the Seanchan Strikes...Mat was looking for Olver ... It might be that O...

I've not written here before but...here goes. Everyone who thinks that Olver is Gaidal Cain is hung up on this age thing, he is not old enough to fight. So, he won't fight in Tarmon Gai'don, big deal there are enough prophices and fortellings out the...

Ok, this is my theory about why Olver is NOT Gaidal Cain. Back in the beginning of the series when Mat blew the Horn of Valere, Gaidal Cane was there fighting with him at Falme. Since that time only a year or two have passed and Olver is 9 years old ...

If there should be Gaidal Cain in the story he would be born after the battle at Falme but before Birgitte was rapped out to WOT land. I find it difficult to believe that there were two Gaidals at the same time. That excludes Uno completely. Still th...

I've just one more thing to add about Olver being Gaidal. Brigette remarked to Nynaeve once about how whenever she and Gaidal met for the first time, they always disliked each other. I seem to remember it said that Olver hated Brigette, but I don't h...

Gaidal cain is the old man on the barrel. <br> <br>He appeared about the time cain disappeared. He is used to carrying 2 swords on his back. <br> <br>Why Olver cannot be cain: <br>Olver is eight years old and as cain appeared in tel aran rhiod in ...

I love this theory. Birgitte, unfortuneatly is slain in battle, and nobody knows her fate... Then Rand and Elayne get married (which they will, btw, Min tells Elayne that she will have to share her _husband_ with two other women)and they have a daugh...

This refers to the point that people are saying that Giadal is ugly (mostly discussed at the bottom). Their claim is that Nynaeve says that he is the ugliest man she ever saw. I didn't find this in the books when I quickly looked for it. But I did fi...

Couldn't Mat be Gaidal Cain. At the end of a crown of swords before he is caught by the Seanchan he had a discussion with the seafolk. There he say something like being the swords master of master of blades (Sorry I've only have a Dutch copy so I can...

I believe that Gaidal Cain may come back as Rands child. His disappearance more closely coincides with Rand and Avi's "romantic interlude", than with Olver's age. This impies that Avi is pregnant of coarse. (I am writing this off the top of my head s...
