Masema: was he being manipulated by a Forsaken from the start? His dealings with Suroth, and him not wanting to go to Rand?
Masema was not manipulated from the start, but once he was noticed as a potentially useful tool.
Both his dealings with Suroth and his mistrust of Perrin in The Path of Daggers were Forsaken-induced, right?
Influenced at the least. Depends on how you view induced.
