Masema Dagar

Masema Dagar is a character in the "Wheel of Time" fantasy series by Robert Jordan. He was a soldier from Shienar who fought in the Aiel War, where he grew a strong hatred for the Aiel. This animosity is apparent even twenty years after the war ended. In the Great Hunt he followed Rand chasing a legendary Horn that Rand had found in The Wheel of Time. After seeing Rand use saidin he swears to fight for the Dragon Reborn and becomes one of his most fanatical supporters. He styles himself "The Prophet of the Dragon" and heads a quasi-anti-establishment social order in the western regions of Randland, with the ostensible purpose of gathering followers in support of the Dragon Reborn, Rand al'Thor. His "army" has ravaged and pillaged the countryside in Ghealdan, a country in the Wheel of Time, killing and burning in the name of the Dragon Reborn and gained a reputation as an almost unstoppable killing machine. His former career as a soldier has helped him as a leader although his followers should not be considered as professional soldiers as they seem to rely far more on numbers and fanaticism than discipline and skill, however they have not been defeated and hence they are not to be underestimated.
Perrin Aybara was sent to stop Masema's armies from their pillaging. Masema agreed to accompany Perrin back to Cairhien where Rand was expected to be, though both appeared untrusting of the other. These plans were halted when Perrin's wife was kidnapped by the Shaido Aiel. Masema agreed to accompany Perrin to rescue his wife. It is implied that Masema forged an agreement with the Seanchan, although the terms of the agreement were not revealed. In the battle of Malden he and his army fought the Shaido Aiel and his army was eventually defeated after putting up an almost suicidal fight in which only a small remnant of his army survived. He was last seen fleeing Malden with the remnants of his army, numbered at about 100 men.
