What is Ishamael up to?
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Though he knows Mat Cauthon isn’t the Dragon Reborn, Ishamael clearly has designs on the character in The Wheel of Time season 2. Played by Fares Fares, Ishamael commanded Min to take Min to Cairhein in The Wheel of Time season 2, episode 4, titled “Daughter of the Night.” The scheming villain is clearly orchestrating a sinister plan with wide-reaching implications in the Amazon series.
The Wheel of Time’s new twist ties in with what Liandrin was up to in the previous episode. Pretending to let him go so that he could comfort Egwene, Liandrin purposely arranged for Mat to run off with Min, who is acting under her orders. Now, it’s understood that by extension of Liandrin, Min was just a pawn of Ishamael.
Why Mat Is So Important To Ishamael In The Wheel Of Time What’s happened so far demonstrates that Ishamael’s interests go beyond the Dragon Reborn. His interactions with Perrin hinted at this already, with his order to Min to bring Mat to Cairhien further reinforcing this notion. While this specific development – Ishamael using Min to lure in Mat – didn’t happen in The Wheel of Time books, the source material does provide clues as to what his intentions might be.
Ishamael’s book counterpart was well aware that Mat and Perrin, like Rand, were ta’veren, people capable of creating changes in the Pattern. This aspect of their characters made them threats, hence why Ishamael – after being reborn as Moridin – tried to kill both of them. It could be that Ishamael looks to use this to his advantage in the show, rather than kill him outright.
Why Is Ishamael Sending Mat To Cairhein? Although Ishamael wouldn’t answer when Min asked, “what’s in Cairhein?”, there’s hardly any mystery as to what’s special about this location. Since he set Lanfear free and is likely the one who put her on Rand’s trail, there’s little doubt he knows the Dragon Reborn is there now. Possibly because of Mat’s ta’veren status in The Wheel of Time, he may believe that Mat is capable of being a weapon against Rand.
