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...

Taim and Demandred are one and the same. Book 6: Demandred meets with Semirhage, Mesaana, and Graendal. Mesaana goes into thought about Barid Bel's reasons for becoming Demandred. He was the most highly acclaimed man second to Lews Therin. His jealou...

Is Taim Demandred? I don't think so. The proofs are all circunstancial. So Bashere did not recognice him at first. So he has a hooked nose and does not smile much. Well, ALL saldaeans have a hooked nose. Bashere is not a very similing man, either. Al...

Taim is actually pretty simple. He's just an average powerful channeler who has avoided madness for a time. He ain't Demandred, etc. because he was captured by Aes Sedai and I can't imagine one of the Forsaken allowing himself to be shielded or risk ...

There are some more interesting points about the "Taim is really Demandred" theory. I don't know that I believe it, especially since RJ doesn't seem to support it (as Tamyrlin says) however, there must be more to Taim than just your run of the mill f...

Hate hate like like!A thought struck me. It wasnt a very bright thought but.... Maby LLT just hates every one that is going to get mad very soon. Remember he killed his friends, family and wife. Definetly something to hate someone for, why Taim maby ...

Just another sick one. Maby Taim and Moridin is the sae person, Ishy. It could have been arranged. Taim is away from the tower alot and we never know where Moridin is. Ishy could just have asulted the transport carying Taim, killed all of them, disgu...

This isn't really a theory. Many people believe that Taim is Demandred, or that Dashiva is Os'angar. Just one thing from the beginning of aCOS. Taim begs Rand to take along some more Asha'man, and Rand chooses Dashiva out of the blue. However, Taim d...

I don't think that either Taim or Logain are any of the forsaken. I think that it is very possible that Taim will be turned to the DO. After all, he is only in this for the glory and fame. He's said as much himself. Min had a viewing that Logain was ...

Taim is Demandred, there is just too much evidence. <br> <br>1. Referring to Rand's gateway as travelling <br> <br>2. Not being affected by thetaint after 15 years <br> <br>3. Not been recognised by Bashere <br> <br>4. Killing theGray man <br> <...

Call me Crazy (or someone who doesn't understand RJ) but maybe just maybe Taim is simply (figurativly speaking) a false dragon who was crushed but retains his ambitions, and now you'll say that doesn't make sense it's to simple, when you look at what...

I also thought Taim might be Demandred, because when Rand thought about snuffing Sammy, Lewis Therin said, 'oh yes, but first Demandred, then Sammael.' This is the only other Forsaken that LTT implied knowing where/how to get his hands on. Only one p...

Oh, the most convincing evidence we have for Taim being any one of the forsaken is the fact that he calls travelling by its name and that he has held of the taint for a long time. Did he call travelling by its name right away, or before he had time t...

Taim may well be Demandred,, but in TSR , rand can see the black cords connecting Asmodean to the dark one when he embraces saidin,,,why can't he see the cords around taim if he is demandred??? anyone want to answer?...

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....
