Machin Shin, or the Black Wind is a thing of The Ways, that will steal the soul of anyone who encounters it that is unable to defend themselves. It is not known where it came from, though there are many suggestions, such as a natural parasite, something created by the decay or a remnant of the Age of Legends (TWoRJTWoT, Ch. 22, TEotW, Ch. 45). Though in general it will take the soul of anyone who encounters it, Padan Fain claimed to have understood it and that it left him alone

"Something left from the Time of Madness, perhaps, or even from the War of the Shadow, the War of Power. Something hiding in the Ways so long it can no longer get out. No one, not even among the Ogier, knows how far the Ways run, or how deep. It could even be something of the Ways themselves. As Loial said, the Ways are living things, and all living things have parasites. Perhaps even a creature of the corruption itself, something born of the decay. Something that hates life and light ([[Moiraine, The Eye of the World, Chapter 44)
