One of the most power channelers of the One Power is Rand al'Thor. He is the prophesied savior of the world who will save it from the forces and the Dark One. He was just a simple farmer from Edmond's field who got caught up in the War of Power between the creator and the Dark One. For every so often the prophesied one is born as the world is shattered and remade.
Rand is the son of Janduin and Tigraine Mantear (Shaiel), and was born on the slope of the Dragonmount at the end of the Aiel War. The child was found by Tam al'Thor, who was at the battle, and took the child to raise as his own with his wife Kari. They headed home to the Two River's Territory and lived a quiet life in Edmond's field. Rand group up as a farmer and woodsman, living a simple life. It wasn't until his 20th year that he and a group of friends were swept up into the prophecies.
The Aes Sedai had been on the hunt for the Dragon Reborn, for all the signs pointed to his return. A member of the Blue Ajah, Moiraine Damodred Sedai, had suspected that he might be born in the TWo Rivers area for she had assessed that three ta'veren lived within Edmond's field. She had pin pointed three young men; rand al'Thor, Matrim cauthon, and Perrin Aybara. Unfortunately the Dark One was aware too and his forces soon came down on them. They along with several other fled Edmond's Field and headed to the safety of Tar Varlon. It was soon apparent that the Dragon reborn was Rand. His ability to channel began to further manifest itself, and was now hunted by the Aes Sedai. Attempting to flee he and his friends soon ran from their very lives from the Tower and the grip of the Aes Sedain. Yet he could not escape his fate. No matter where he turned, he was marked and fulfilled the destiny that was thrust upon him.
Although he had ideas of his own. He used one of the Forsaken, Asmodean, to instruct him in channeling the one power. He even soon gained some of the other "alleged" Dragon Reborn to his side and formed the Black Tower. This was an order similar to the White Tower, but was for those men who could channel Saidin. Males who channeled were often hunted and killed, and he wanted to provided a safe haven and a place to instruct males. Sadly though in the last war the Dark One had tainted and corrupted Saidin, the male half of the one power, that drove male channelers mad. Ambitious, he did something that was unexpected.... he cleansed Saidin of the taint.
