Gorin Rogad was a False Dragon in Illian.

History[]

He was captured by the Illianers and burned alive.[1]

Notes[]

It is not known if he could channel or not, but given how he died and the rarity of False Dragons who could actually channel, it seems unlikely. While Bartim mentions that he saw a "the last False Dragon" in a cage and that he could not channel, this could not have been Gorin as Gorin was burned alive in Illian.[2][1] It's possible it was the False Dragon in Arad Doman mentioned by Moiraine Damodred as being one of the last two before Logain.[3] Rand also hints that Bartim might claim he saw a False Dragon whether he did or not.[2]

Nynaeve al'Meara also thinks about Gorin being one of the potential False Dragons set up by the Red Ajah, which may imply he could channel in order for them to be interested. On the other hand, we also know that the Tower did not have a hand in his downfall and the Illianers dealt with him themselves which is less likely if he actually was able to channel.[4]
