Shaidar Haran
An unusually large Myrddraal whose Old Tongue name means Hand of the Dark: formal, precise, able to cut channelers off from the Source and to smell saidin apart from saidar.
Shaidar Haran, a name meaning Hand of the Dark in the Old Tongue, appears to be a Myrddraal, though much taller than any other. Unlike ordinary Fades it seems to have a sense of humor, and it conducts itself with exceptional courtesy and formality, carrying out its orders precisely and without visible feeling. It appears able to deny a channeler the ability to touch the True Source. It can see the residue of a gateway as patches of glowing mist, and it can tell the residue of saidin from that of saidar by smell, something no other Myrddraal can do.
