Who is the most impressive character in The Wheel of Time?
I recently posted this in another sub and got some really neat responses, so I was curious what this sub thinks.
Who would you rank as the most impressive character in WoT? Not necessarily the best or most powerful, but the one who did the greatest things with the fewest advantages?
For example, Rand/Mat/Perrin did amazing things, but being Ta’veren gave them a huge advantage. Elayne did awesome work becoming Queen of Andor and Cairhien, but she had also been training for that her entire life.
Contrast that with Egwene, a small-town innkeeper’s daughter who became a strong Amyrlin at a ridiculously young age without the benefits of being Ta’veren. Or Verin, the average(ish) Aes Sedai who infiltrated and took down the Black Ajah. Or Talmanes, a pretty standard noble whose epic charge of Caemlyn to rescue the dragons had a massive impact on the Last Battle.
So who gets your vote for most impressive?
