[edit] Appearance
She is slender and very tall, taller than most men. She has a dark face with large dark eyes and full lips. She has short wavy hair.
[edit] History
One of the most talented healers in the entire Age of Legends, she was whisked all across the world because she could heal anything short of death. Although sometimes she gave people a little extra pain after healing, few said anything about it. After all, she had just brought them from the brink of the death. Although some people she did not think deserved life were not so lucky and were killed by her. When the Hall of Servants found out they offered her a choice, be bound by a Binder not to take 'her pleasures' or to be severed. Becoming furious at them for thinking more of "common people" over someone as important as her, she chose a third option. She was among the first to pledge her soul to The Shadow.
[edit] War of Power
Durance of hate. Only an average field commander. Territories governed by her were often marked by terrible cruelty, sometimes forcing people in cities to help torture each other. She also studied breaking people using pain. She became so proficient at this that people were known to bite through their own wrists rather than face her. She discovered the circle of thirteen Aes Sedai and thirteen Myrddraal that could turn any channeler against their will to the Shadow. She was sealed in the Bore by Lews Therin and the Hundred Companions.
[edit] Release
Semirhage, Demandred, and Mesaana have likely been working together since before the War of Power. Semirhage has an intimate knowledge of the brain and its pain and pleasure centers, and uses these to torture a victim into bending to her will. It was Semirhage who sent Shadowspawn to counter Sammael's Shadowspawn in the Stone of Tear, where they were attempting to slay Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn[1].
Semirhage also posed as Anath Dorje, Tuon's supposed retainer, as part of the Seanchan invasion force.
After Tuon is spirited away by Mat Cauthon, she murders Empress Radhanan and the entire Imperial Court, plunging Seanchan into chaos. She then pays a visit to Suroth Sabelle Meldarath and tells her to find and murder Tuon. She also plans to set Suroth up as the new Empress of Seanchan. She attends the meeting with the other Chosen in Tel'aran'rhiod, which is made to look like the Ansaline Gardens. There she is told that Rand is not to be harmed and that Mat and Perrin Aybara are to be killed if found. She then masquerades as the Daughter of the Nine Moons, Tuon herself, for a planned meeting with Rand. However she is identified and captured, but not before blasting him with a fireball which amputates his hand, fulfilling one of Min's viewings. Afterwards she is captured by Rand and his companions, but he once again refuses to execute a female Forsaken.[2]
