Alviarin Freidhen

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

Alviarin Friedhen is an Aes Sedai of the White Ajah (ostensibly), as well as the secret head of the Black Ajah. She is one of the first close confidants to Elaida, when Elaida begins to plot the downfall of Siuan Sanche as Amyrlin. Alviarin is made Keeper of the Chronicles when Elaida is raised to the Amyrlin Seat. She reports only to the Forsaken known as Mesaana, although she schemes even against her. Elaida later discovers that Alviarin has been plotting and strips of her the office of Keeper although she does not know what Alviarin plots or that she is Black Ajah. Alviarin later approaches Egwene al'Vere while Egwene is held captive in the Tower and offers to aid her, but Egwene refuses Alviarin's assistance.

[edit] Appearance

Alviarin has a swan neck, and is tall and slim.

[edit] Current Status

After a recent meeting with Mesaana, Alviarin was marked by Shaidar Haran, who was there to reprimand the Forsaken for her failure to answer the Choedan Kal, as his property and under his protection. What effect this will have on Mesaana's authority over Alviarin remains to be seen.
