General

Talene Minly is an Aes Sedai and Sitter for the Green Ajah, but is actually Black Ajah. She sided with Elaida when the Tower split (WH, Prologue).

Talene was the only one of the six sisters present who refused to reswear, and so the others concluded that she was Black (TPoD, Ch. 26). They took Talene to the Chair of Remorse and forced her to admit to being Black Ajah. She was also forced to swear a personal oath of obedience to the Sitters present (WH, Prologue).
