Moghedien (Old Tongue for Spider) is a character in The Wheel of Time television series portrayed by Laia Costa.
Moghedien is one of the Forsaken. She is a powerful channeler from the Age of Legends who is sworn to the Dark One.[1]
History[]
Moghedien was born in the Age of Legends, and rose to become one of the Dark One's Chosen. She was sealed away by Lews Therin Telamon before the Breaking of the World.[1]
Season 2[]
Lanfear mentions Moghedien to Ishamael in Tel'aran'rhiod. She sarcastically dismisses Moghedien as "insane".[1]
Lanfear plans to keep the other Forsaken sealed after the Battle of Falme, and instructs Bayle Domon to throw the other cuendillar seals into the sea. However, when she returns to the room in Falme where the seals has been kept, she sees that all have been broken. Lanfear is confronted by Moghedien, and the Forsaken tells her that Ishamael freed all the other Forsaken before his death, as he had suspicions what Lanfear would do. Moghedien then traps the other Forsaken with the One Power and taunts Lanfear about how the other Forsaken always said that she was acting "softly, softly, from the shadows." Moghedien says that she does not want to fight Lanfear, but is warning her that the fate of Rand al'Thor and the other ta'veren is in the hands of the other Forsaken. With that, Moghedien leaves and Lanfear is released..[2]
Abilities[]
Moghedien's words imply that she is relatively weak in the One Power for a Forsaken. However, she is cunning and strategic, as she managed to spring a trap on Lanfear.[2]
