The series is famously based on the lateRobert Jordan’s 15-book long series of novels.

What happens often in television is that many characters from the source material are omitted entirely.

This is usually to avoid bombarding the audience with too many characters, or to keep things concise.

Shockingly, he was nowhere to be found in Season 2, which leaves his fate uncertain.

But the show skipped over that leg of the journey in Season 1.

Gawyn Trakand

Gawyn Trakand has so far only been mentioned in the show.

This is because Gawyn is Elayne’s brother, which makes him a prince.

He is also the nephew of Moiraine.

He’s described as a handsome man whom many young women fawn over.

Apart from this he’s also a remarkable fighter.

There’s no shortage of entertainment choices on TV for fantasy fans.

That is, if they even intend to debut him at all.

Aludra Nendenhald

Admittedly, Aludra isn’t a super important character.

She could probably easily be glossed over, as she rarely appears in the novels.

But she is quite an interesting character.

She belongs to the Illuminators' Guild, which is a group of people who specialize in making fireworks.

Sadly, it’s doubtful she will show up in the show since she hasn’t already.

Nothing is more dangerous than a man who knows the past.

Vandene makes her first appearance right alongside her sister in book 2.

Will she ever appear on the show?

But thus far, Pedron Niall is nowhere to be found.

She maintains a close study of Egwene after Egwene reports having vivid dreams.

This leads Anaiya to suspect Egwene may have a rare ability that most Aes Sedai do not have.

But truthfully, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to be written out of the show entirely.

Jaichim Carridin

Jaichim Carridin is yet another Child of the Light.

Once again, his role isn’t exactly the most major role in the series.

But he does serve as a background player for several novels.

But it would be a nice nod to the fans if he were shown, even if only briefly.

Egeanin Sarna

Egeanin Sarna isone of the Seanchan.

In book 2, she is first seen hijacking Bayle Domon’s (Julian Lewis Jones) boat.
