Corlan Dashiva is an Asha'man from the Black Hills, though he is in reality Aginor, one of the Forsaken, in disguise.
[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 and 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 and kill the would-be assassins.
[edit] Cleansing of saidin
His identity is finally revealed, as Aginor, 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.
