Rand al'Thor The central protagonist of the Wheel of Time and the prophesied Dragon Reborn - the promised champion of the Light foretold to face the Dark One at the Last Battle, and the reincarnation of Lews Therin Telamon, the channeller whose sealing of the Dark One's prison three thousand years ago tainted the male half of the One Power and doomed every male channeller of his age to madness. Rand begins the series as a sheepherder from Emond's Field with no knowledge of his heritage, and the fourteen books follow his transformation as prophecy, power, and the weight of being necessary reshape him. He can channel saidin, the male half of the One Power, making him simultaneously the world's greatest hope and its greatest danger. |

Logain Ablar A false Dragon who could channel - one of the rare men born with the ability - who was captured by Aes Sedai and gentled before the series begins. His arc is one of the most quietly impressive in the sequence: stripped of his power, broken, and rebuilt into something harder and more purposeful as events refuse to leave him in the past. | Leader |
Mazrim Taim A false Dragon - a man who could channel - captured before the events of the series and later released by Rand to help run the Black Tower. Taim is brilliant, ruthless, and contemptuous of almost everyone. His loyalties are opaque for most of the series before being definitively resolved in the final books. | Leader |
