Week 5 Question: Will Hurin the Sniffer return in any of the remaining books? Please? We miss him. Could you share some insight as to why you decided not to use him after The Great Hunt?

 

Robert Jordan Answers: He'll turn up again. He hasn't reappeared earlier because the part he had to play was a sidelight to the main story. You should be able to glean some of what he was doing, what effect he and the news he brought was having, from the news that came out of the Borderlands in the books following The Dragon Reborn, though.

 

Hurin was mentioned briefly in The Dragon Reborn, but only in the context that he was leaving Verin Sedai, Nynaeve, Elayne, Egwene, and Mat just outside Tar Valon to return to Shienar with word of the Rand as the Dragon Reborn. Since that time, we have seen, reports of relatively minor uprisings throughout the Borderlands, followed by the gathering of the rulers and the trip south to find Rand and presumably talk to him about something. There is much speculation as to their motive, the motive of the 13 Aes Sedai with them, the possible presence of Demandred with them or still behind in the Borderlands, Queen Tenobia's intentions regarding Lord Bashere, etc. But there is circumstantial evidence that it is Hurin's report that sparked at least some of this.
