Graendal "...she had many shades as a jegal had scales, slipping from one to another like lightning..."

REAL NAME
[WoRJ 62] Kamarile maradim Nidar

ALIAS
[LoC 6 HC:138] Old Lady Basene in her Arad Doman hide-away. Sammael gave her name of "Maisia" when they were dealing with the Shaido Aiel

LOCATIONS
Still sneaking around in Randland... maybe in Arad Doman? [FoH ? PB:31] Lots of fountains and pools. Half naked performers and a lean old man in a wrinkled coat. [FoH ? PB:105] {Asmodean} Was in Arad Doman. [FoH ? PB:273] {Birgitte} seen in Tel'aran'rhiod.

EVENTS
Was working (force to work?) with Sammael... [FoH ? PB:550] plotting with Lanfear, Rahvin, and Sammael (Moggy listening) Rand is to go after Sammael then the other three, linked, will take him.

HISTORY
[Loc 6 HC:130] {Sammael} She was a famous and honored, dedicated ascetic. She treated those with disturbed minds, those that not even a healing could touch. {After 1st meeting with Sammael} accepted his initial pledges to the Great Lord and then every trace of the abstemious benifactor disapeared. It seemed that she delibretly became the opposite of what she was before. [LoC 6 HC:136] Long ago she decided to seek and allow herself any (and every) pleasure that did not threaten her standing with the Great Lord - which is why she lives the seemingly carefree life she seems to live at the moment. [LoC 6 HC:138] Spent nearly 400 years studying the workings of the mind - this was obviously her specialty. She wants to live forever and does not intend on dying even for the GL. It is hinted that she set up Sammael to take the fall for that if their plans went sour.

SERVANTS
Has many servants that have "real" love fer her... they are all usually barely dressed and very good looking... and of (er... were i guess that would b *grin*) of high position and power. [Loc P HC:57] {Mesaana} for once not accompanied by them. [LoC 6 HC:138] scuff of boots +Ebram+ tall well made young Domani in tight read breeches, flowing shirt white. merchans son. dark shining eyes. She makes the distinction that they worship Graendal not Lady Basene

CHARACTER
A master at the use of compulsion [Loc 6 HC:130] {Sammael} On surface level, she seems totally fixated on her own pleasure, and very nearly hiding her desire to pull down everyone with a particle of power, and in that - it almost hides her own thirst for power. Very seldom does she exersize her power openly "Graendal had always been good at hiding things in plain sight." Thought he (Sammael) knew her better than any of the Chosen did, even though he realizes that even he did not even begin to know *all* of her complex layers. "She had many shades as a jegal had scales, slipping form one to another like lightening. She had been the mistress and Sammael the acolyte. That situation changed." [FoH ? PB:32] {Rahvin} considers her wasteful. [FoH ? PB:36-7] open in her moves, prefers conquests to diplomacy. But yet takes one solid step at a time. [FoH ? PB:105] {Asmodean} likes comfort too well to stay in Arad Doman (chaos going on there).

APPEARANCE
[FoH P PB:32?] Sun colored hair, very beautiful - "lush and ripe" (only "pretty plump" in comparison to Lanfear though), lots of jewlry [Loc P HC:57] {Mesaana} fleshy w/ elaborately curled red-gold hair. gay slightly foolish laugh. mistake to take her at surface value though. [Loc 6 HC:130] {Sammael} sweet perfume like air from a garden of flowers. [FoH ? PB:550] Sun-haired

CLOTHING
[Loc P HC:57] {Mesaana} strieth for high-necked gown. fabric like transparent mist. wondered if she thought of anything beyond her sensual pleasures. [Loc 6 HC:130] {Sammael} Slippers whisper on carpets. Thin blue domani gown clung and more than hinted. ring with different stone on every finger, 4/5 gem-encrusted bracelets oneach wrist, wide collar of huge sapphires snug around gown's high neck. suspected hours went into arranging sun-gold curls touching shoulders and moondrops scattered through them.
