"New" Forsaken
As of the end of Knife of Dreams (and through the latest release, Towers of Midnight), four of the Forsaken who have been killed have been reincarnated by the Dark One. They are, Ishamael, Balthamel, Aginor, and, presumably, Lanfear. Their reincarnated forms do not resemble their former identities at all. For example, Cyndane is described as having silver hair and light-colored eyes, whereas Lanfear possessed dark beauty. The reincarnated form of Cyndane who was once Lanfear is not as strong as she used to be, due to her time spent as a captive of the Aelfinn and Eelfinn. And Balthamel, a male Forsaken, was reincarnated into a female body, although Aran'gar continues to channel the male half of the True Source.
- Ishamael, reincarnated as Moridin.
- Lanfear, reincarnated as Cyndane; mindtrapped by Moridin.
- Balthamel, reincarnated as Aran'gar, deceased (killed (irrevocably with balefire) again by al'Thor during his attack on Graendal)
- Aginor, reincarnated as Osan'gar, deceased (killed again by Elza Penfell (a Darkfriend) during the cleansing of saidin).

Famous quotes containing the word forsaken:
“God alone is our true good, and since we have forsaken him, it is a strange thing that there is nothing in nature which has not been serviceable in taking his place: the stars, the heavens, earth, the elements, plants, cabbages, leeks, animals, insects, calves, serpents, fever, war, famine, vices, adultery, incest.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“And about three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?””
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 27:46.
