General

Isam Mandragoran was a Malkieri noble; he was the son of Lain and Breyan Mandragoran (TEotW, Ch. 47). Even though he was only Lan's cousin, he resembled him enough to be mistaken for his brother (TSR, Ch. 19). He had long dark hair held back by a hadori and blue eyes he also had the same angular shaped head as Lan (TSR, Ch. 53).

As Trollocs overran Malkier, his mother disappeared with him. It was generally believed that they both died (TEotW, Ch. 47; TGH, Ch. 7).

He presumably met Luc in the Mountains of Dhoom as pointed at in the Prophecy of the Shadow (TGH, Ch. 7). He is most likely the one who died yet still is, as he was sighted in Tel'aran'rhiod and Luc still seems to live.

For more information on him see the article on Slayer.

Quotes

"Luc came to the Mountains of Dhoom.
Isam waited in the high passes.
The hunt is now begun. The Shadow's hounds now course, and kill.
One did live, and one did die, but both are."
(Excerpt of the Dark Prophecy; The Great Hunt, Chapter 7)

"Breyan and her infant son had both vanished when the Trollocs overran Malkier. And Isam had been blood kin to Lan.
Or is blood kin? I must keep this from him, until I know how he will react. Until we are away from the Blight. If he thought Isam were alive..." (Moiraine; The Great Hunt, Chapter 7)
