[edit] Appearance

He is tall with gray at the temples. He is hard faced with dark, hard deep-set eyes.

[edit] History

Jaichim Carridin is described as a very patient and cunning man. As an Inquisitor he was ruthless, as a friend of the dark he was worse. Carridin was from a large noble family in Amadicia. He had an intense hatred of Tinkers.

[edit] Bors

Carridin first appears as the man known then only as Bors, at the Darkfriend Social. He was ordered by Ishamael to keep a watch for three country lads, Perrin Aybara, Matrim Cauthon, and Rand al'Thor, and to report if they were found. Ishamael also ordered him to take the Children into Almoth Plain and create chaos. He was also told to keep anything he heard about the Seanchan quiet and minimize their importance. He used Pedron Niall's plan to seize Almoth Plain to this end. Niall sent Geofram Bornhald to assist him. Carridin began using the Children to create havoc on the plain. Bornhald aided him at first but soon realised that the true threat was the Seanchan. Defying Carridin's orders, he led his legion to Falme to confront the Seanchan.

[edit] Demise of his family

After the disaster at Falme, Carridin was recalled to Amador by Pedron Niall. He was rebuked for his inaction against the Seanchan and told to keep Rand al'Thor alive. After this meeting he was given orders by a Myrddraal to kill Rand or his family would be killed one by one, with him last.

Carridin returned to Tarabon and continued looking for Rand. When he failed to find him, reports started coming in that Myrddraal were killing members of his family.

[edit] Tanchico

When Liandrin and her associates arrived in Tanchico, he became involved with them. He was ordered to place his men at the Panarch's palace to help create confusion and unrest. Liandrin gave him orders, conflicting with those he had previously received, to no longer hunt Rand. Carridin began drinking brandy heavily around this time.

[edit] Ebou Dar

Eventually Carridin came to serve Sammael. Sammael sent him to Ebou Dar to find a cache of angreal and ter'angreal, which included the Bowl of the Winds. While there he hired a Darkfriend assassin named Lady Shiaine. When Sammael came to check on progress, Carridin noticed Matrim Cauthon and suddenly remembered a secret mission given to him to kill Mat. Sammael told him to forget Cauthon and search for the angreal. Carridin disobeyed Sammael and sent Shiaine after him. Carridin failed again.

Carridin was murdered, drowned in brandy, by Murellin, on the orders of Lady Shiaine in the the house on Full Moon Street, by the order of Moridin.
