Galina Casban

Galina Casban

Galina Casban is a fictional character in the "Wheel of Time" series by author Robert Jordan.

Galina is an Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah; she is also their leader known as "the Highest". She is also second-in-command of the Supreme Council of Black Ajah, knowing who Alviarin is. Galina has long black hair, a plump round face and hard eyes.

She was sent by Elaida a'Roihan, the newly raised Amyrlin Seat, to bring Rand al'Thor back to the White Tower so that they would 'keep him safe' until Tarmon Gai'don, which in reality turns out to be the torture and imprisonment of Rand. In book six, "Lord of Chaos", this plan was abandoned when a battle between the Tower Aes Sedai, the Asha'man, Aiel and Perrin Aybara with the Two Rivers men ensued. Galina was observed by Gawyn falling off her horse after the battle and then disappearing.

Thought dead by Mesaana, she was captured by the Shaido Aiel, named "da'tsang" ("despised one"). Later, she is made to swear to obey Sevanna and the Wise One Therava using a "binder" or Oath Rod and made "gai'shain". She is now Lina, a well-trained servant and Therava's personal plaything.

After Faile Bashere and her party are captured by the Shaido, Galina is sent to Heal them. She finds out who Faile is, and uses that to blackmail her into getting the Oath Rod that Therava has so Galina may free herself.

She finally gets her hand on the Oath Rod when Faile announces to her that she has taken it. Galina tells her to meet her in a charred building in Malden in a few days. It is there that she sets a trap to kill Faile and the others so that she may escape. When Perrin attacks and drives the Shaido away, Therava finds her and forces her once again to become "gai'shain". She is forced to swear an oath that she will never touch the binder again, or try to run away. She is now completely broken.
