Merean Redhill

Merean Redhill is a character in Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series.

An Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah, Merean was the Mistress of Novices during Moiraine Damodred's novicehood. She appeared to be both strict and understanding at the same time, so that novices and Accepted felt both respectfully afraid and trusting of her as their main caretaker and disciplinarian.

Unfortunately that caring personality was but a mask to hide her more nefarious allegiances as Moiraine later discovered. As a member of the secret Black Ajah, Merean had left the Tower some time after the then Amyrlin Seat, Tamra Ospenya, was murdered. She, like other members of the Black Ajah, was tasked with tracking down the Dragon Reborn. In the process, she became involved in the murders of the secret searchers who had been assembled by Tamra, and at the very least had a hand in killing Larelle Tarsi. Also in Chachin, she kills prince Diryk, believing that he may be the Dragon Reborn, his father Brys and Iselle Arrel. She is eventually killed, seconds too late, by Moiraine who stabs her in the back.
