Eh, that was Ishamael there, because he wasn't properly imprisoned/was imprisoned near the edge so he got free every 500 or so years. Those years coincided with the greatest events in the history of WoT, such as the Trolloc Wars, amongst other things. He is also free (Ishamael) at the start of the series, although he's a little more crazy by then (1000s of years imprisoned tend to do that )
Oh. I was confused when I first read that chapter, because well, duh, it's kind of confusing when you don't know anything about Wheel of Time yet. But I thought he said his name was
I assume by the castle you mean Lews Therin's house? That was a darkfriend. THE darkfriend you might say. He was the 'leader' of the Forsaken. Not named Nae'blis yet though, so not the official leader but still. It's... Ishamael
Don't spoil it MLB.
I spoiled nothing, that was after the Hundred CONpanions did their work and sealed the Bore, therefore it couldn't be the Dark One

{JAMMERS! same} Wow. So is that why he was "disguised" as Ba'alzamon and Rand thought he had killed the Dark One but it was actually just a Forsaken? I didn't realize he actually thought he was Ba'alzamon, I thought it was just supposed to be a red herring.

{JAMMERS! same} The former. Saying the Dark One's name actually has real consequences. Saying Voldemort's name is just something people are afraid of for no good reason.
{JAMMERS! -Same- ONLY!} Well, I've never read Harry Potter and I'm not going to in the foreseeable future, but I'm fairly certain that they didn't say it because Voldemort was a legitimate threat and they didn't want to bring his anger upon then or something like that.
{JAMMERS! -8legos- ONLY!} I explained the weirdness of his sealing in, how he wasn't in properly. He wasn't loose so to speak, he was just allowed out in cycles. Besides, he was still Ishamael then

I thought that was when the Breaking started. And yay, Con Puns!
Well, no, not really. The Breaking started right when the Hundred CONpanions led by Lews Therin Telamon sealed the Bore and the Dark One tainted Saidin. Those Hundred CONpanions all went mad instantaneously and thus began the Breaking. The Prologue takes place slightly after this, just after Lews Therin finishes smashing his family in his madness.

{JAMMERS! -Same- ONLY!} He wasn't 'disguised.' The effects of time on him were much worse than on the others because he was sealed so near the edge, and that drove him mad. He truly thought he was the Dark One, or so it seems, and Rand seemed to think so too. I don't think Moriaine was sure he was the Dark One, she always seemed a bit mistrustful of Rand's belief

{JAMMERS! -Darkfriends and Idiots- ONLY!}You said it! Woe be upon you, my friend! The Nazgul shall come upon you in the night and you shall be taken to the Houses of Lament where your soul shall be stripped bare under the never-ending gaze of the Lidless Eye!
Oh wait, wrong universe.
Here's a question: Looking into the Palantir or invoking the Dark One? Both have devastating consequences. Or if looking into the Palantir isn't bad enough, meddling with Sauron in general? Saruman is living proof of the consequences of that choice.

That is hard to say. I would say that it depends on how close the Dark One is to escaping his prison. If he were free, he would be much more dangerous. If he were completely sealed up, he would be much less dangerous. As he stands, sort of on the edge, it's hard to say.

{JAMMERS! -Same! } Nay it shall not be! The host of the West shall return and every dark pit shall be cleansed and the darkness will try to flee but it will find that the whole earth is full of light and it will parish.
Oops your right.
I would Look into the Palantir. At least you can gain some useful info.
