Masema Dagar was once a Shienaran soldier who later became the Prophet of the Dragon. He has a triangular scar on his cheek and has dark deep-set eyes.
When he first met Rand al'Thor he regarded him with barely disguised contempt due to Rand reminding him of the Aiel he faced in the Aiel War. He informs Rand that he can't leave Fal Dara while the Amyrlin was present. Later Masema witnessed Rand's fight with Ishamael at Falme and started treating Rand with a religious fervor.[1] He abandoned the other Shienarans shortly afterward and preached the Dragon Reborn all the way to Ghealdan, settling there and triggering civil unrest. When Nynaeve found him in Ghealdan, he had become the leader of a sect, asking his followers to abandon everything and follow the Lord Dragon.[2] (despite the irony that Masema has not seen Rand since early 999 NE) He exercised control over large sections of Ghealdan, offering both refuge for the masses of displaced persons, and commanding a large body of Dragonsworn.
[edit] Current status
Later, he and an army of his followers joined Perrin's army in the pursuit of the Shaido, but was secretly working with High Lady Suroth.[3] After Perrin Aybara forms another temporary alliance with the Seanchan, Masema aids Perrin in defeating the Shaido and rescuing Faile at Malden. Afterward, most of Masema's army is dead or wounded due to a severe disadvantage against trained Aiel.[4]
