Ishar Morrad Chuain, also known as Aginor, is one of the Forsaken. His strength in the One Power was also considerable, considered second only to Ishamael and Lews Therin Telamon himself. He was foremost in the creating of artificial constructs and created the Shadowspawn.

[edit] History

Before turning to the Shadow, Ishar Chuain was a famous biologist. However, his desire for further experiments and discovery earned him a ban from genetic experimentation by the Hall of Servants. Acquiring more freedom to experiment under the Shadow, he created the Shadowspawn during the War of Power, but was never directly involved with military operations. It is believed that somewhere between 35 and 50 million people died in the experiments resulting in the Shadowspawn, at a rate of almost 10,000 per day from start to finish in the War of Power.

[edit] Release

Aginor and Balthamel were sealed near the surface of the Bore, and as such aged immensely by the time of their release. During his sleep of three thousand years, Aginor experienced endless nightmares. He and Balthamel were the first to be released.

After his release, Aginor attempted to draw on the One Power from the Eye of the World, and drew too much, burning himself to ash. The Dark One recovered his soul and gave him a new body and name, Osan'gar.

Osan'gar infiltrated the Asha'man as Corlan Dashiva, a man in his middle years. His identity was revealed to the reader during Rand's cleansing of saidin. He was vaporized by Elza Penfell while she was holding Callandor.
