Santes. One of Berelain’s thief-catchers from Mayene. About 5'9" tall, with dark hair and dark eyes, he was bland-faced and ordinary-looking and so nondescript that no one would have noticed him, even bumping into him, on the street. He was friendly with Rosene and Nana, Berelain’s maids. Berelain used Gendar and Santes to spy on Masema by having them make friends with his people and taking them wine supposedly stolen from Berelain. Santes found a document signed by Suroth, saying that Masema was under her protection, after picking the lock of Masema’s camp desk under cover of the bustle of setting up camp. Gendar and Santes returned to Masema’s camp with Berelain’s last cask of Tunaighan and were expected to return by an hour after sunset, but did not. They were presumed dead, killed by Masema’s men.

Sarainya Vostovan. An Arafellin Kinswoman who was born of a noble House. Her strength level was 46(34); she was not strong enough to have been allowed to test for Aes Sedai, and not strong enough to make a gateway of any size whatsoever. She was not nearly old enough to stand very high among the Kin. She was born in 924 NE, went to the White Tower in 940 NE and was ten years a novice (940–950 NE). She was raised Accepted in 950 NE for political reasons, and then sent away. She went to the Tower when Kirin Melway was Amyrlin and was put out after Noane Masadim was raised Amyrlin. She had a husky, forceful voice and was strikingly handsome. She kept the form of every rule exactly, but she was stubborn and did things her own way. A proud woman, she didn’t like wearing the red belt and working or living among the poor. Sarainya traveled to Caemlyn with Elayne; when Garenia and Kirstian were identified as runaways and put back in white, she and Asra attempted a revolt, but Reanne and Alise put a stop to it. She was ordered to cut a switch for punishment from Alise later that day.

Maigran and another girl were kidnapped by bandits; Saralin was prepared to accept it and go on, as required by the Way of the Leaf.

After spending ten years as a novice and eight years as Accepted, she was raised to the shawl in 998 NE. A dark, stocky woman with inquisitive eyes and a square face, she looked a little older than Nynaeve. She did not yet have the ageless face, which she sometimes plainly wished for. Her Warder was Ned Yarman. Sareitha was sent to the court of Queen Tylin in Ebou Dar with Merilille Ceandevin and Careane Fransi. She served as the Seat of Rebuke at Elayne’s abortive trial over approaching the Knitting Circle. She went with Elayne to Caemlyn and was killed by Chesmal Emry at the house on Full Moon Street in the New City while trying to capture members of the Black Ajah; Ned was killed as well.

Sarene Nemdahl. A Taraboner Aes Sedai of the White Ajah and the loyalist contingent, with a strength level of 18(6). Born in 955 NE, she went to the White Tower in 970 NE. After spending six years as a novice and five years as Accepted, she was raised to the shawl in 981 NE. Her Warder was Vitalien, though it was unusual for a White to have a Warder. About 5'4" tall, and slender, she wore her dark hair in beaded Taraboner braids. Some of her Taraboner accent remained. Her face was extremely beautiful, enough to make any man stare, but she was not aware of it. She had a temper, which she usually kept bottled up, but she could snap one’s nose off in a flash if crossed; she would admit she was wrong, though if her temper was involved, her admission would be made only after it had cooled. Her secret vice was poetry, which she hid and felt slightly ashamed of because poetry was emotional and illogical. One of her verses compared her Warder to a leopard. A part of the loyalist embassy to Rand in Cairhien, she was captured at Dumai’s Wells. As a result of Verin’s Compulsion, Sarene was one of the first five of the captive Aes Sedai to swear fealty to the Dragon Reborn. Sarene traveled with Cadsuane to Far Madding and to Shadar Logoth; during the cleansing of the taint she worked with Corele Hovian and Damer Flinn. They encountered Demandred, but managed to drive him off. With the Last Battle approaching, Sarene engaged in a tempestuous affair with Vitalien. They fought for the armies at Shayol Ghul. Sarene was Compelled by Graendal/Hessalam and used until her eyes were vacant. Vitalien was killed.
