General
Raefar Kisman was an Asha'man from Tear. He was pale for a Tairen and only of average height (WH, Ch. 22), was younger than Rand (LoC, Ch. 42) and was one of Taim's favourites. He tracked Rand to Far Madding, where he was killed by Padan Fain. He was a Darkfriend (WH, Ch. 22).
Timeline

Quotes
"But Gedwyn and Torval, they are the M'Hael's men. Rochaid and Kisman, too. Why would they desert? He gave them anything a king could want." (Genhald to Logain; Winter's Heart, Prologue)
"They'll take us both," Kisman breathed, sounding frantic. "If they find us standing over a corpse, they'll hang us both! You know they will!" (Kisman to Rand after Rochaid is killed in Far Madding; Winter's Heart, Chapter 22)
