Toveine Gazal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Toveine Gazal is a fictional character in the Wheel of Time fantasy series by author Robert Jordan.

Toveine is an Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah and was a Sitter until her exile. Described as short and slightly plump with smooth copper skin, dark eyes and long glossy dark hair. She is attractive, but not beautiful.

Fifteen years ago Toveine, and other Sitters for the Red Ajah, were exiled for their role in gentling male channelers beyond the walls of the White Tower. She is called out of exile to lead a group of fifty or so Aes Sedai to destroy the Black Tower and to gentle and hang every man they find. Upon locating the Black Tower they are captured by Asha'man and Toveine is subsequently Bonded by Logain, much like Aes Sedai create Bonds with their Warders. The modified Bonds include the ability to compel unconscious obedience.

Her time at the Black Tower is not easy. She is roughed up by the other Aes Sedai who accompanied her, blaming her for their capture. Logain's other Bonded Aes Sedai, Gabrelle, tells her that the captured Sisters must unite and that they two will submit to the strongest Aes Sedai there. It is during a ride with Logain that she and Gabrelle hear Atal Mishraile tell Logain that Mazrim Taim is letting him leave to go look for recruits. Toveine, along with Gabrelle go with him.

She ends up not looking for other recruits with Logain but locating Rand al'Thor instead, which was Logain's plan from the start.
