y General Concensus Would Be Ishamael

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

Alright, I have not re-read a single book, so I am going way out on a limb with almost no facts. Anyway, Shaidar Haran can either be Aginor or most likely Ishmael. I first say Aginor because he was the second strongest forsaken, and he created all the Myrrdral and trollocs and such. The DO could have brought him back and Jordan just never said anything. Of course this would also mean that Beathemal and Asmodean are the two new forsakan, and I really doubt that Asmodean would be brought back, he was just too weak. So that means that if WOW! Wait up. What happened to Lanfear after going through the Ter'angreal at rhuidean? I bet that she fell out of the pattern of the creator, and that the Dark One then had total power over her and made her a Super Myrrdral. Or something like that. I know that none of the men could feel any such channeling ability, but can they sense channeling thru the black cord? and did the women forsaken ever have a chance to feel Shaidar ! Haran channeling? But I would rather Shaidar be Ishmael. He is the most powerful male ever, and doesn't deserve to go out like he did. Not to mention he was a powerful philosopher on Anti-reasoning stuff. Go ahead and edit this or whatever, I know that I ramble too much.

Not to be a devils advocate, but why would the DO resurrect one of the forsaken as a myrddraal? If somehow that was a more potent combination then why waste Aginor and Bathamel in Osan'gar and Aran'gar's bodies?
