Sheriam Bayanar

From A Wheel of Time Wiki

Sheriam Bayanar is an Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah, and the current Keeper of the Chronicles of the White Tower-in-exile. Formerly, she was the Mistress of Novices under Siuan Sanche.

Sheriam is firm but fair as an Aes Sedai no matter what her rank. She devised a clever method of breaking Theodrin 's block, and took an interest in helping Nynaeve al'Meara break hers. She has red hair and slanted blue eyes, showing her Saldaean heritage. She was slender in her youth, but is now "a little plump". Her Warder is Arinvar.

[edit] Compromised

Following her selection as Keeper to Egwene al'Vere, Sheriam began to experience regular visits from someone who beats her and pressures her for information. While this is done with the One Power, it is not clear whether saidar or saidin is being used. It may be related, from Sheriam's own thoughts, to a visit with a Sitter of the Hall.

It is unknown as yet if her beatings stopped after Aran'gar escaped from the Aes Sedai's camp outside Tar Valon.
