Regarding Mesaana’s alter ego: Brandon said that he had been sent a reliable quote from a Jordan interview that she wasn’t anyone we had seen ‘on screen’ as of Knife of Dreams (? he may have said Crossroads of Twilight ? I need to find the quote). Specifically, he said that Laras has been around since New Spring . And would not say if Mesaana was ‘on screen’ as her alter ego in The Gathering Storm , because he doesn’t want to limit good discussion.
Brandon clarified this later ; a fan had led him astray.
