Interview: 2010
Twitter 2009-2010 (WoT) (Verbatim)Azral Hanan (2 August 2010)
Why is the Dragon 'one with the Land'? Is it just due to him being ta'veren or is there more to it?Brandon Sanderson (2 August 2010)
More to it. More about being the Dragon than being ta'veren. Who he is.AZRAL HANAN
So it's more than a title or being ta'veren and Hero of the Horn? The Dragon plays its own unique role in the Pattern?BRANDON SANDERSON
Note that Prophecy says that the Dragon specifically is reborn time after time.Azral Hanan
RJ said the soul is immortal. But Hopper says dying in the Wolf Dream is likely permanent. Is Hopper wrong?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO, for now. Ask again after the last book is out.

Interview: Dec, 2010
Robert
Also, when Perrin sees Hopper after Hopper's death in the Wolf Dream, Hopper also appears to be a dark shadow of his former self, something sinister. Is this related to the change that is coming over the people at the Black Tower?Brandon Sanderson
You're speaking of when Perrin tries to "resurrect" Hopper, so to speak. That is not related to what's happening at the Black Tower. That's something else entirely. And that's not even really Hopper. That is a projection of Perrin trying to bring Hopper back.Tags

Interview: Nov 11th, 2011
Alloy of Law Signing Report - Wetlandernw (Paraphrased)forkroot
If cuendillar is brought into Tel'aran'rhiod, can it be destroyed in a nightmare (the same way Perrin destroyed the dreamspike)?Brandon Sanderson
If you were strong enough in Tel'aran'rhiod, you could probably force it to break, but it would remanifest itself pretty quickly. (He compared it to how Perrin was able to force Hopper back together for a moment, but no more—it snapped back to "reality" pretty fast.) RJ was pretty strong on this point—it's really, really hard to destroy the stuff. Even an opening gateway wouldn't do it—either the edge would push the cuendillar object out of the way, or the object would block the gateway from opening or closing. (You could actually block a gateway open by sticking a piece of cuendillar in it.) RJ was firm: there are only two ways for cuendillar to be destroyed: the Pattern unraveling, and... one other thing. (From the way he said "one other thing" I think we'll be learning about it in A Memory of Light. He enjoyed that question too.)Footnote
Brandon said in another interview that the second way to destroy cuendillar is with the True Power.Tags

Interview: Apr 24th, 2010
JordanCon 2010 - blindillusion (Paraphrased)blindillusion
Is there any way for someone to be removed completely from the Pattern?Brandon Sanderson
(Sorry I cannot put out his precise words, but here is the gist)—Jordan started by having balefire do this, but he later debunked this theory by saying someone killed by balefire can be reborn at some point. We currently know of nothing/no method that will completely remove someone from the Pattern.
blindillusion
I thanked him and turned to walk away at this point, so that he could continue with the signing. But he called me back and commented that:
Brandon Sanderson
The wolves in the Wolf Dream. We know that in the Wolf Dream something can be completely removed from the Pattern.
blindillusion
(Again, not his exact words, but this pretty close. Perhaps J.D can back me up here. He was there.)
Footnote
Birgitte also said that death for the dead heroes in Tel'aran'rhiod is permanent, but Brandon was writing Towers of Midnight at the time and he probably had Hopper on the brain.Tags

Interview: 2013
Twitter 2013 (WoT) (Verbatim)sleepinghour (23 January 2013)
Who was the Broken Wolf?Brandon Sanderson (23 January 2013)
Perrin's spirit guide. Note that the "he" in the next sentence does not refer to the same creature.
Darrell Wyatt
Did the Shadow Prophecy at the end of Towers of Midnight come to pass? If so can you explain as I did not recognize it.
Brandon Sanderson
Everything in it happened, but not exactly as many would have interpreted.

Interview: Feb 22nd, 2013
AMOL Signing Report - Terez (Verbatim)Terez
The next one is something that somebody asked for me—on my behalf—before, but did Perrin bind his soul to the hammer? Or...
Brandon Sanderson
Did Perrin bind his soul to the hammer? That's an interesting question. Why are they asking this?
Terez
Because I asked before, was it Hopper? It's because of what Slayer said about his ability to step in and out....
Brandon Sanderson
Right, was based on having two souls in one body...
Terez
Yeah, and he said, "It's just like you," right?
Brandon Sanderson
Mmmhmm.
Terez
You know, so it has to be something.
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah, it's a good question. (with an air of finality) That's a very good question.
Terez
(sighs loudly) (people around laugh)
Brandon Sanderson
I would say...how about this: I would say the relationship between Perrin and Hopper is...part of the reason that...Hopper may not...have suffered as dire a fate...(crosstalk)
Terez
That's what I was hoping for...
Brandon Sanderson
...as wolves would normally suffer when killed where Hopper was killed. How about that?
Terez
Yeah, that's what I was hoping for, but your answer to the last one kind of drew me on the path of the hammer, which was somebody else's idea, right?
Brandon Sanderson
Mmmhmm.
Terez
But yeah. Good!
Brandon Sanderson
So there you go.
Terez
That makes me happy.

Interview: Feb 22nd, 2013
AMOL Signing Report - Terez (Verbatim)Terez
Was it actually Egwene talking to Rand, after...
Brandon Sanderson
Oh, I've left this one intentionally ambiguous.
Terez
I figured that's what you did.
Brandon Sanderson
That, and whether Lan actually died or not, are both ones that I'm not going to answer.
Terez
Yeah, and whether Perrin actually died or not, because he's in the dark prophecy too.
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, but do remember that the dark prophecy people are misinterpreting that one a little bit, by intention.
Terez
Yeah... [Amusingly, Brandon is talking about the dark prophecy in Towers of Midnight, and I'm talking about the one in The Great Hunt.]
Brandon Sanderson
You know, they're supposed to misinterpret it, but one of the lines doesn't refer to Perrin; it refers to Hopper, and then the next line...
Terez
Well, not her new lover!
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah, yeah...
Terez
That's not Hopper, is it? (laughter behind)
Brandon Sanderson
Uh, no...
Terez
She's not into...okay. Good. (laughs)

Interview: Feb 20th, 2013
AMOL Signing Report - JaimieKrycho (Paraphrased)Question
Was Perrin's hammer forged with Hopper's soul, or was he considered dead at the time?
Brandon Sanderson
There was nothing in the notes to say I could put Hopper's soul in the hammer, but there was also nothing to say I couldn't, so I believe it was there, since otherwise it would be gone forever. [Much cheering from the Memory Keepers]

AMOL Signing Report - J. Dauro (Verbatim)Question
Can the anti-balefire weave restore threads to the Pattern?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, it repairs threads to the Pattern. The threads may not be exactly the same, but it does repair them.
Question
So does that mean Hopper could the next time in this cycle?
Brandon Sanderson
I can't speak for Hopper, other than, I have hope.

Interview: Apr, 2013
Waygate Foundation Q&A (Verbatim)Question
Just to clear it up, cause I really dislike arguing with people: just to have it out there, in big BOLD letters: Brandon did confirm in his January 2013 Twitter chat that Hopper was "the Broken Wolf, whom Death has known", yes? ("The Broken Wolf was Perrin’s spirit guide.") Because this one aggravates me almost as much as Olver/Gaidal Cain and Taimandred, especially when people insist it was Rodel Ituralde.Maria Simons
Yes, Hopper was "the Broken Wolf, whom Death has known."Tags
