Artham. A ter’angreal that prevented the Dark One from seeing its possessor; one in the shape of a dagger was found in Ebou Dar, identified by Aviendha and used by Rand when he approached Shayol Ghul.
Cyndane had been Lanfear,
Her body truly was young—mid-twenties at the oldest—not needing the Mask of Mirrors Lanfear had used to hide her matured ripeness.

Graendal. A woman whose name in Age of Legends was Kamarile Maradim Nindar;
It amused Graendal to keep Jain Farstrider and use him, a bit of Ishamael’s handiwork, a souvenir of the first move in the Dark One’s grand design.
She used only the most subtle degrees of Compulsion on him, and sent him to Ebou Dar on the off chance that there might be something to her suspicions of an angreal there which was being sought by Sammael.
Soon thereafter, she was coopted by Moridin, acting through Shaidar Haran, Moghedien and Cyndane.
She faced off against Aviendha during the Last Battle near Shayol Ghul. She attempted to use Compulsion against Aviendha, who was unweaving a gateway. In the explosion that followed, her Compulsion was turned back on her, making her Aviendha’s willing slave.

A Forsaken whose name before going to the Shadow was Elan Morin Tedronai.
Roughly a thousand years later, though, the process reversed itself; he began to find himself back in the world of men, first at intervals, in a wispy form, then more solidly, until finally he seemed to be again whole and in the ordinary world.
The result of his efforts that time was the Trolloc Wars, but he was not able to do more than get them started, really.
Within a matter of twenty years or so, the process reversed itself again, and he faded back into the seals.
When the process of being drawn back into the seals began again, and he realized that he was doomed to this cycle, he tried to destroy Hawkwing’s empire and humanity with a new Trolloc invasion, but Hawkwing’s army beat it back handily. That drove him mad.
He was unsuccessful, being bested by Rand al’Thor twice and killed by him. The Dark One resurrected him and gave him a new body and a new name: Moridin. See also Moridin

He became disillusioned after his wife died and he realized he had been made a tool of Ishamael, and began using the identity of Noal Charin, claiming to be Farstrider’s cousin.
Graendal, knowing his true identity, picked him up because he was famous, to use his age like a beauty spot among her pets; when that proved unsatisfactory, she decided to make other use of him rather than disposing of him or tossing him out, but she never thought of him as any sort of key player in her plans. She sent Farstrider off to Ebou Dar under very subtle Compulsion, not really believing that there was much chance of a cache being there. She chose to use him instead of Darkfriends because she had control of Farstrider; none of the other Forsaken knew that, and if Farstrider were to
