General

Velina Behar is a Saldaean Aes Sedai of the White Ajah. Like others of that Ajah, she values logic highly, though she is blindly by the same prejudices and assumptions that many Aes Sedai make, namely that no other group apart from them is capable of teaching how to channel, and if they cannot do a thing, no one can. She is both a sitter for her Ajah and a member of Elaida's inner council. The other Aes Sedai consider her to be very self possessed. She was one of the sitters before the split and therefore, one of the ones that voted to depose Siuan.

Quotes

No ter'angreal has ever been found that can 'control' a woman's channeling ...Very few have ever been found that perform the same function. Therefore, logically, if such a ter'angreal were found, or more than one, improbable as that must be, there could not be sufficient of them to control more than two or three women at most. It follows that the reports of these so-called Seanchan are exaggerated wildly. If women on 'leashes' exist, they cannot channel."
