e Is What They Say He Is

Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: Who is Shaidar Haran?

Ok, here's another wild theory on who Shadar Haran is. First off, I don't beleive he is a gholam. The biggest argument seems to be his supernatural speed. Well, that's pretty much the way all Fades seem to move. So Myddral are created (presumably using the One Power) from human and animal stock, morespecifically, the throwbacks to the human stock when trollocs are beingctreated. So, where does the human stock come from? Just like some men and women have the superior ability to channel, why should their not be a myddral running around that is superior to the others? I know this isn't an answer but just another question, but I think it is worth thinking about.

This would probably be the most logical, although even the forsaken marvel at the abilities he has(they've met a lot of myddraal in their line of work.) Question: Are his abilities, not his own, just something the DO is doing to protect him? Is there proof otherwise?
