[edit] His beginning
Ishar Morrad Chuain, also known as Aginor (AGH-ih-nohr), is one of the Forsaken. His strength in the One Power was also considerable, considered second only to Ishamael and Lews Therin Telamon himself. He was foremost in the creating of artificial constructs and created the Shadowspawn.
[edit] Appearance
He has a strong face and is as tall as Rand al'Thor.
[edit] History
Before turning to the Shadow, Ishar Chuain was a famous biologist. However, his desire for further experiments and discovery earned him a ban from genetic experimentation by the Hall of Servants. Acquiring more freedom to experiment under the Shadow, he created the Shadowspawn during the War of Power, but was never directly involved with military operations. It is believed that somewhere between 35 and 50 million people died in the experiments resulting in the Shadowspawn, at a rate of almost 10,000 per day from start to finish in the War of Power.
[edit] Release
Aginor and Balthamel were sealed near the surface of the Bore, and as such aged immensely by the time of their release. During his sleep of three thousand years, Aginor experienced endless nightmares. He and Balthamel were the first to be released.
After his release, Aginor attempted to draw on the One Power from the Eye of the World, and drew too much, burning himself to ash.
[edit] His Resurrection and New Name

The Dark One recovered Aginor's soul and gave him a new body and name, Osan'gar.
[edit] Appearance
He is placed in a Borderlander's body and looks very ordinary. He shows signs of madness, often giggling to himself.
[edit] Activities
When he and Aran'gar are first resurrected, they are placed under the leadership of Shaidar Haran. Despite infiltrating Rand al'Thor's Asha'man, Osan'gar still meets with the remaining Forsaken and resents the fact the he has to play the part of Corlan Dashiva.

[edit] Appearance
Corlan Dashiva looks like a farmer and appears to be going insane due to the taint on saidin. He is very arrogant and very condescending over Aes Sedai of this Age. He looks very plain and is in his middle years and has lank untrimmed hair.
[edit] Illian and the Seanchan
After the Battle of Dumai's Wells he is an Asha'man, chosen by Rand al'Thor to be one of his bodyguards after being kidnapped by the White Tower Aes Sedai under Elaida. He stands guard over Rand when he is meeting with some of the Aiel Clan Chiefs and when Cadsuane Melaidhrin arrives and insults Rand. He is one of Rand's bodyguards when he meets with the Sea Folk and makes the Bargain. Surprisingly Dashiva seems concerned when Rand is near death due to being stabbed with the Shadar Logoth dagger. He brings in Damer Flinn to Heal Rand. It was Dashiva's idea for Flinn to even start exploring in Healing in the first place. He Travels to Illian with Rand in order to confuse Sammael and try to bring him back to the city of Illian so Rand can finally defeat him.
He goes with Rand when Rand tries to deal with the Illian rebels loyal to Lord Brend. He rides with Rand when Rand's forces attack the invading Seanchan just outside Illian. He tries to warn Rand about saidin not behaving properly around Ebou Dar. On arrival back to Cairhien he accompanies Rand to a meeting with Cadsuane Melaidhrin. He uses several weaves Rand has never seen before to try to intimidate Cadsuane. Dashiva and several other rogue Asha'man, who turn out to be darkfriends, attempt to kill al'Thor and flee, while al'Thor then follows to try to kill the would-be assassins.
[edit] Cleansing of saidin
His identity is finally revealed, as Osan'gar, during the Battle near Shadar Logoth where he sneaks up and nearly kills Rand. He is blasted away by Elza Penfell who is holding Callandor, who ironically is also a Darkfriend.
