Morgase Trakand

Character from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan

Queen of Andor who was Compelled by Rahvin, fled her throne, and survived through sheer Trakand stubbornness — only to discover that giving up power was harder than being stripped of it.

Morgase was Compelled by Rahvin into being his puppet, fought free through willpower that shouldn't have been possible, and fled Andor rather than return to his control. She spent years in exile, believed dead by her children, serving as a lady's maid under a false name. She can channel at the weakest possible level — barely enough to sense the Source — which is both a humiliation and a distinction, since it means she broke Rahvin's Compulsion through pure will rather than channeling ability.

Appearance

Red-gold hair and blue eyes — the Trakand look that Elayne inherited. She's beautiful even in exile, with the bearing of a queen that no amount of hardship can erase.

Also known as: Morgase, Morgase Trakand, Maighdin
