Who are your Favorite Minor Characters/Storylines?

Kadere was one of my favs. Killing his comrade and cutting her up while reminiscing about his sister. One of the best moments in the series. It shows that not all dark friends are idiots.

 

Also, Verin and whatever the hell she is actually up to.

Absolutely. That scene was friggin classic. And Verin might be the most intriguing character in the series, because she seems to know everything, yet even when you read her POV you still can't figure out what all is going on with her.

 

I also want to add Narishma to my picks. And speaking of major/minor characters and POVs, it just dawned on me recently (correct me if I'm wrong here)...Other than New Spring we have not seen ONE Lan POV. I wonder why?

I think you are right about Lan not having a POV. I can't recall of one with the exception being New Spring.

I like all the minor characters.  After Mat I find them to be the most interesting characters  in the series.  Elyas and Gaul are probably my favorites, but reading through the thread I am reminded how much i like them all.  No one has mentioned Rhuarc yet, but he is awesome.  He is the only person Jordan seemed to consider as bad ass as Lan. Logaine is great.  Tylin was awesome.  Talmanes and the band.  I loved Karede's POVs, especially when he was searching for the great general Thom Merrilin. Thom is also great.  Tuon and Selucia.  Bain and Chiad.  Balwer is one of the best. The AS hunting for the Black in the tower.  The Seanchan officers Perrin makes his alliance with.  The Standard bearer at Lucas show, who disciplined the soldiers.  Even Luca and all his performers.  I like how he was so in live with Nynaeve, and then married Latelle.  The Saldaen guard that met Perrin and Faile at the gate in Caemlyn. Karede's secretary Ajimbura.  That's one of the things that makes this series so great, is the appeal of all the minor characters.  People who are easily remembered even if they are only mentioned once or in passing.  They say that god is in the details, and it's the truth.

Tarna Feir. One of the few red sisters who are somewhat endearing and not complete tools.

Plus there's a certain element about her that I find intriguing. I can't really explain it.

 

Others would include Loial, Rhuarc, Seaine, Rianna and many others.

It's Jordan's skill that makes people actually care about minor characters. They're actually alive.

 

As for minor storylines, I found myself being really interested in the Black Ajah hunt in the Tower.

Of course they're many more but I can't really recall at the moment.

I Like Elyas, I wish we could have a bit more of him. He and Perrin should tag team Slayer.

 

Another tag team I would love to see is Tam Al'Thor and Abel Cauthon. Tam with a sword and Abel with a staff.

 

And one of the best ones, and Im sure a lot of people will agree on this, is the Charin "cousins." Noal hinted that Jain was used by Ishamael, or at least someone but Ishamael is a very good suspect, and we have seen Noal sat with known Darkfriends and people who match Sammael and Graendals descriptions, which would make a massive coincedence considering that Sammael and Graendal had some sort of partnership. Noals role is one of the revelations I am looking forward to most of all.
