Shaidar Haran

Shaidar Haran

Shaidar Haran is a character in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.

Known by fans of the series as the Super Fade, in the Old Tongue Shaidar Haran means "Hand of the Dark". He looks like a Myrddraal but is much taller and seems to have a sense of humor. His standing with the Dark One is noted by the Forsaken on many instances: Demandred notices that the spikes on the ceiling of the tunnel to the Pit of Doom clear Shaidar Haran's head by a hand or two, while he is forced to crawl through the tunnel with the spikes still scratching at him, and Semirhage is told that obeying Haran is obeying the Great Lord and disobeying him is tantamount to disobeying the Great Lord. We also learn that this super Myrddraal is able to smell the difference between saidar and saidin. Also in two cases while in Shaidar Haran's presence channelers were unable to feel the One Power, let alone channel it. Yet Shaidar Haran is limited in his ability to travel freely as he feels weak when away from Shayol Ghul too long, a limitation he is eager to sever. This creature is thus suspected by many readers to be an avatar of the Dark One.
