Such is his strength that Liandrin, Alanna, and Kerene (the latter of whom, along with her Warder Stepin, are brought forward from the prequel novel New Spring) had to capture and shield him in his sleep and bring him away in the night. Though he may not be the rule, Logain is still extremely powerful, to the point that it seems he can push back against a shield to the point of tiring two Aes Sedai without breaking a sweat, and seems to barely be trying when he does, only breaking the shield on his own and melting his cage once his army has caught up with him. He believes he is the Dragon Reborn because the whispers he hears tell him how to “do better” this time, but Moiraine notes that they are naught but the madness of the taint.

As for his background, he seems to have been “betrayed” (likely by telling others he can channel, or trying to kill him) by his mother, father, and sister. That said, he is not inherently good, as he is still effectively declaring war on the world. Instead, he seems to want to bind it together and save it, even opting to recruit his own enemies to fight in his army. However, Logain himself is not inherently evil, as he does not want to destroy the world at all. Of course, this still does not explain why a woman being the Dragon Reborn may be a problem, as they do not suffer the same madness. Their hallucinations, and other forms of madness, seem to come from the binding of the Dark One near the end of the Age of Legends, where he touched the element of the One Power used by men, and that touch, that taint, seems to be what drives them to irreversible madness. Further, rather than using the dance-like style of Aes Sedai, men seem to have much more of a “forceful” nature to their channeling, not even moving much at all. Women cannot see the weaves of men, and the same is likely the case vice versa, as well as, given the lack of reaction to hallucinations from a captive of Logain, any non-channeling man to a man who can channel.

Logain Ablar’s assault on the nation of Ghealdan in the cold open shows some visual differences, such as his weaves being visualized as black rather than white of women. While the premiere had hints of it, this episode shows the first true taste of men channeling, along with explaining why such a thing is a danger to them and not to women. Today, we will look into episode four, “The Dragon Reborn.” There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Wheel of Time. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose above the great recap pages of Multiversity Comics. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend.
