Myrddraal
Myrddraal are the eyeless commanders of the Shadow's armies, pale halfmen in cloaks no wind stirs, feared even by the Trollocs they drive into battle.
A Myrddraal hunts the heroes from the opening chapters of The Eye of the World. Myrddraal, called Fades, Halfmen, and the Eyeless, are Shadowspawn shaped like tall, pale men, serpent-quick, with dead white skin and no eyes at all, though nothing escapes their sight. Their black cloaks hang still in any wind. Where shadows touch, a Myrddraal can vanish in one place and step out at another, and the gaze of that eyeless face pours dread into the bravest, so that the Borderlands teach their children that the look of the Eyeless is fear. They are the Shadow's field commanders, driving Trollocs into battle by terror, and they carry blades forged at Thakan'dar that deal festering wounds no ordinary medicine can close. Killing one is work for a blademaster, and even then a Fade's body keeps thrashing long after it should have died.
