The Wheel of Time: With Logain Ablar, There's More Than Meets the Eye

Following up on yesterday's look at the darkly evil Shadowspawn, Amazon and showrunner & EP Rafe Judkins' upcoming series adaptation of Robert Jordan's famed "The Wheel of Time" novels is shifting the focus to one of the major players. This time around, viewers are presented with a look at Alvaro Morte's Logain Ablar, "The Self-Proclaimed Dragon Reborn." Described as "human tragedy hidden behind an existential theatricality," there is much more to him than one may think- and as you're about to see (beginning with the descriptive text for the teaser that was also released).

"Logain is seen walking through smoke, first in a wide shot and then in a closeup of his face. Under it, the words 'Logain, The Self-Proclaimed Dragon Reborn' appear. Wounded, mail-clad soldiers appear and throw spears at Logain. A closeup of Logain's hand as some kind of black energy surrounds it. A wide shot shows the soldier's spears break against the same black energy, now completely surrounding Logain. Cut to Logain in a cage, surrounded by a crowd as he and Mat make eye contact. The next shot is Logain in the same cage but now in a darker place, white energy now surrounds him and Aes Sedai's hands hurriedly create their own weaves. A man with two axes leaps at Logain. Energy explodes out from the cage, knocking two Aes Sedai out of their chairs. Cut to another closeup of Logain outside in the cage as a voice talks about how strong he is":

In the following previously-released scene, Rand, Perrin, Egwene, and Nynaeve are in the Winespring Inn on a busy night when Moiraine and Lan enter. The crowd quiets as Moiraine asks for supplies and a room. They then begin to whisper after she is recognized as an Aes Sedai by her great serpent ring:

Now here's a listen to the first single from The Wheel of Time, "Al'Naito" by Lorne Balfe:
