During the Age of Legends, Saine Tarasind worked as a teacher at Collam Daan. She later organized schools teaching the glories of the Dark One, going by the name Mesaana.
[edit] History
Unlike many of the other Chosen, Saine Tarasind was not very distinguished in her profession. After being turned down for a research position at the exclusive Collam Daan university, she felt so scorned by having to settle for merely teaching other peoples discoveries that she eventually turned to the Shadow.
Though as adequate a battlefield general as a researcher, she proved an extraordinary administrator. Captured regions saw their children having to attend schools teaching praise for Leafblighter, the Dark One. Slow learning was punished by death, and she encouraged the children to spy and harass each other. She would also get the children to form large mobs and hunt down people from institutions of higher learning. Many of these children betrayed their parents and families because of her. During the second half of the war she also used them to carry out executions, at times forming "courts" entirely of children. Museums and reminders of old ways were destroyed; nothing would stand in the way of the Shadow's triumph.
Being one of the thirteen most powerful of the Chosen, she was summoned to attend a meeting with the Great Lord of the Dark in the Pit of Doom at Shayol Ghul. On this day Lews Therin Telamon and the Hundred Companions struck at the Bore, sealing the Chosen and the Great Lord for three thousand years. She was well over 300 years old at this time, appearing about middle age.
[edit] Recent events
Little is known of her plans after being released from the Bore in 998 NE. It is believed she has maneuvered herself into the White Tower, but her identity and purpose are unknown. She thinks that she will have her hands on Rand within a couple of months, when the White Tower delegation go to meet him.
She is present with Graendal and Semirhage during the meeting with Demandred, who tells them all of the Dark Ones plan for them and to let 'the Lord of Chaos Rule'.
