->See [[spoiler:Characters/TheWheelOfTimeIndependentCharacters]]

* TragicHero: The world's greatest hero, who with his companions sealed TheDarkOne... and who was driven by his counterstrike, killing all his family, wreaking havoc upon the world, and then committed suicide after Ishamael returned his senses.

* ArmyOfTheDead: Luckily, not a one-time-only deal.

* {{Badass}}: So much that he was ''the'' strongest channeler on the side of the Light in the War of Power, at least on the male side.
** BadassInCharge: Was an extremely high ranking official, including as TheArchmage and as a political officer in his own right, including as the High Seat of the Hall of Servants.

* FantasyCounterpartCulture: A twofer. While many of his attributes harken to KingArthur, including his name, Hawkwing's empire and how it fell apart following his death also makes him a version of UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat (or [[HolyRomanEmpire Charlemagne]]).

* SatanicArchetype: He's the foremost champion of the Light who falls from grace. As an added reference, he is also known as "Lord of the Morning", while Lucifer, the name of Satan, is associated with the "morning star", and "Lews Therin" sounds similar to Lucifer as well.
* SmugSuper: His arrogance gained him a lot of envy for his power, which didn't help when the War of Power began.

* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath: Defending Elayne from Mellar during Tarmon Gai'don. Especially nerve-wracking because no one's sure if being ripped from ''Tel'aran'rhiod'' as she was has resulted in her being severed from the Horn. Thankfully, she wasn't.]]
** [[spoiler:[[OffWithHisHead Off With Her Head!]]: How Mellar kills her.]]

* [[spoiler:{{Claustrophobia}}: Develops it from the time in the box from Galina Casban and associated ColdBloodedTorture in Book 6.]]
* [[spoiler:DeathSeeker: As Rand's SplitPersonality, he often spoke of wanting to die, and also only agreed to help him to Tarmon Gai'don so that they could die there.]]

* [[spoiler:EccentricMentor: Granted, that might be putting it very lightly, but he serves as something akin to this for Rand, helping him to learn the ways of the world of politics and how to use ''saidin''.]]

* [[spoiler:SplitPersonality: Becomes one to Rand, as his own personal expression of madness.]]
** [[spoiler:SplitPersonalityMerge: In the climax of Book 12. Afterwards, Rand gains the memories and perspective of Lews Therin without the associated madness.]]

Shivan and Calian are brother and sister Heroes, both of whom are only born at the end of an Age. Calian and Shivan respectively are assumed to be a parallels for Kali and Shiva of HinduMythology.

Lews Therin Telamon was the Dragon during the War of Power. He was the leader of the forces of Light and was well respected all over the world. He was as strong in the Power as a man could be and was the "First Among Servants."

At the end of the War of Power Lews Therin and the Hundred Companions took it on themselves to seal the Bore with the seven Seals without the aid of the female channelers. While this plan succeeded in temporarily closing the Bore, the Dark One tainted saidin in his counter-stroke. Many of the companions went insane instantly, including Lews Therin himself. Lews Therin returned to kill all of his family and many friends, causing people to later re-name him "Lews Therin Kinslayer".

* HappilyMarried: To Ilyena until her death.

* TheLostLenore: Ilyena Sunhair, his wife. It doesn't help that her death was caused by him.

* {{Reincarnation}}: The only one of the Heroes of the Horn known who is not summoned by the Horn, since he was already spun into the Third Age.

* {{Expy}}: To {{Satan}} of Literature/TheBible, as the foremost champion of the Light who falls from grace. As an added reference, he is also known as "Lord of the Morning", while Lucifer, the name of Satan, is associated with the "morning star", and "Lews Therin" sounds similar to Lucifer as well.

* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Sort of in the case of the heroes, allowing them to help within an Age where they already died.

* DistaffCounterpart: Has a personality very similar to Mat's. Fond of swearing, drinking, eyeing up those they find attractive in public, and not being nobility.

A jovial hero who wields a hammer and spike.

Possibly the Wheel of Time version of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_(folklore) John Henry]]

* DistaffCounterpart: Has a personality very similar to Mat's. Fond of swearing, drinking, eyeing up those they find attractive in public and not being nobility.

* BigDamnHeroes: As noted above, but special mention goes to [[spoiler: her revival after the Hornsounding. Her first action was to save Elayne [[MoralEventHorizon , right as Mellar was about to cut her unborn children out of her,]] by [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome shooting him several times, killing him]]]].

* UglyGuyHotWife: Is only attracted to ugly men, the uglier the better and always ends up with Gaidal Cain. Granted, being torn from the Horn by Moghedien probably renders that impossible.

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: Defending Elayne from Mellar during Tarmon Gai'don. Especially nerve-wracking because no one's sure if being ripped from ''Tel'aran'rhiod'' as she was has resulted in her being severed from the Horn. Thankfully, she wasn't.]]
