Creator

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

The Creator is the name given to the entity which created the universe, the Wheel of Time and reality itself. It is unclear if the Creator also created the Dark One; it is suggested that the Creator imprisoned the Dark One, its antithesis, at the Moment of Creation, indicating the Dark One's existence may have been an unavoidable consequence of the creation of the universe and possibly a necessity for maintaining a balance between good and evil, order and chaos, light and darkness.

Virtually nothing is known of the Creator. He is not worshipped as a god in the traditional sense, although his name and the term 'the Light' appear to be interchangeable. By the Third Age it is common knowledge that the Creator will not directly intervene in the affairs of humankind, preventing the spread of any kind of organised religion. Rand al'Thor heard what may have been the voice of the Creator at the moment he touched saidin during the battle at the Eye of the World with the Forsaken Aginor and Balthamel. If the voice was that of the Creator, it indicated that the Creator would play no role at all in the Last Battle, and it was the job of the Dragon Reborn alone to defeat the Shadow in that conflict.

Interestingly, Rand later theorised that if the Dark One did break free of its prison then only that one world would be affected, not all of time and space (in contradition of other prophecies). He suggested that the Creator had created many worlds as a gardner had grown many grapes on a vine, and if one of the grapes shrivels and dies then the gardner is regretful but moves on. Lews Therin Telamon, or at least the voice representing his personality within Rand's mind, seemed to agree with this conclusion.
