[edit] Appearance
He is tall with white close-cropped hair.
[edit] History
Little is known of Duram Laddel Cham before he turned to the Shadow, although his skills indicate that he was a powerful force for the Light. Called The Envious, he was a master swordsman and manipulator. He was an advocate and a friend of Lews Therin Telamon. Together, they revived the ancient and forgotten art of swordfighting, and fought together against the Shadow before his jealousy of the Dragon drove him to swear his soul to the Dark One. Later Be'lal's mastery of manipulation earned him the name Netweaver.
During the War of Power he and Demandred lead massive attacks in the areas where the Choedan Kal were built, but failed to retrieve the access ter'angreal. He was probably among those who razed the Hall of the Servants in the war.
The strike at Shayol Ghul by Lews Therin and the Hundred Companions sealed him with the other Chosen for three thousand years, ending the War of Power and the Age of Legends.
[edit] Release
After his escape from the Bore, he soon adjusted to the political scene of the new world, and maneuvered himself into the position where he could pose as a High Lord of Tear under the assumed name of Lord Samon, in effect ruling Tear. A more skilled manipulator than Rahvin and more deadly than Sammael when dealing with enemies in open combat, he planned to lure Rand al'Thor into the Stone of Tear for the Dragon to take possession of Callandor - and then steal it from him.
[edit] Death
During the capture of the Stone of Tear, he fights Rand with a dark heron blade sword made from the one power. His skill is too much for Rand who is saved by Moiraine Damodred when she blasts Be'lal with the dreaded balefire from a secret location.[1] Forever burned away from the Pattern, he is out of reach even for the Great Lord of the Dark.
