1. Mat Cauthon: He makes everyone else better.

2. Tuon:

3. Cadsuane: I wish Sanderson liked her as much as I do. She understands that it isn't enough to just win.

4. Nynaeve: Sanderson is perfect for her.

5. Birgitte: completely wasted on Elayne.

6. Rodel Ituralde: is the most proven of the great generals.

7. Furyk Karede: He's just a good guy.

8. Siuan: took what she wanted, and paid for it.

9. Thom: I almost stopped reading when he "died" in EoTW

10. Moridin:

(3) His lines with "he would make a pact with the Dark One to rescue Faile."  I mean really? you want me to root for this guy?

Again, actions louder than words. What does he do?

He made a deal with a group he considered to be on par with the Dark One. Luckily, the Seanchan turn out to be nice people.

"For a moment. Perrin could only stare. It was a strange world. He had gone to her thinking he was making a deal with the Dark One, and the Light knew, some of what the Seanchan did was beyond repugnant, but the woman was stalwart and true to her word"

I like Mat. He knows how to laugh and cry. I don't think Perrin or Rand have learned that yet.
