Forger
From A Wheel of Time Wiki
Man-shaped entities, created by or for the Dark One to do one thing: craft the deadly black blades of the Myrddraal, at Thakan'dar.[1] They are neither truly smiths, nor truly alive; transported any distance from Shayol Ghul, they simply turn to stone or dust. However, even their "existence" can be ended by the deadly waters of the stream into which they dip the blades to give them their poisonous killing quality. It seems also that human bodies are used, after its dipping in the deadly waters, to test the effectiveness of the Myrdraal sword blade. Demandred implies as much when he notices that the shrieks of a man coming from the forge are suddenly cut off and he thinks to himself that now the blade is done.[2] They are basically uninteligent and can only make the swords.
