Character from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
The Netweaver — a Forsaken swordsman and strategist who seized Tear to get Callandor, only to be balefired by Moiraine before he could claim it.
Be'lal was a lawyer and swordsman in the Age of Legends — his nickname 'the Netweaver' came from his talent for laying traps. He seized Tear and the Stone specifically to lure Rand into taking Callandor, planning to take the sa'angreal from him. Moiraine balefired him before he could execute the plan, making him the first Forsaken permanently destroyed.
Tall and athletic with a swordsman's build. He styled himself as High Lord Samon in Tear, dressing in Tairen noble fashion while manipulating the Stone's defenses to draw Rand to Callandor.
Also known as: Be'lal, the Netweaver, High Lord Samon
