The new dreadlords

[rizzo]

I think this looks more like a new LTT and Demandred since they were allies at first, but when Taim wanted only power and saw that Rand is - and will always be - a little stronger with the Power (and therefore better than him) he turned on him just as Demandred did on LTT...

[tristan]

Taim may not be Demandred...But maybe he is in his head the way ltt is in rands

[Jellybelly]

What on earth gave you that idea? Demandred is not dead, and as far as we know, Taim is not insane.

i think rizzo hit the nail on the head, its a classic power struggle and taim will do about anything to make sure he wins. Whether or not he is a dark friend (*shakes the magic 8 ball* and gets "all signs point to yes) will be played out, i am pretty sure he is, or he is working indirectly for them because of his wanting to be better than Rand in any way. Either way, i dont think he is going to "ride his white horse to the recue" as someone stated before.
