The Expanse star Shohreh Aghdashloo plays Elaida do Avriny a’Roihan in The Wheel of Time Season 3. Amazon MGM Studios’ official bio for Elaida describes her as “a ruthlessly powerful Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah, as proficient in politicking as she is in channeling. She has a deep history with Moiraine and Siuan, and scores to settle with both of them when she returns to the White Tower. Elaida is someone who believes in ends over means, and is willing to do anything to achieve what she envisions to be the greater good.”
Olivia Williams as Morgase Trakand
Dune: Prophecy‘s Olivia Williams portrays Morgase Trakand, the Queen of Andor, in The Wheel of Time‘s third season. According to Amazon MGM’s character bio, “Morgase did not inherit her throne. Rather, when the succession was left without an heir, she waged a brutal war against a half-dozen noble rivals, and thanks to her political savvy and utter ruthlessness, she won. She has sworn ever since to shield her daughter and heir, Elayne, from ever having to endure what she did… and do what she did. But far from being a tyrant, Morgase has become one of the best queens Andor has ever known.”
Luke Fetherston as Gawyn Trakand
Pandora alum Luke Fetherson stars as Gawyn Trakand in The Wheel of Time Season 3. Amazon MGM Studios’ rundown of Gawyn characterizes him as “a royal prince of Andor and brother to Galad and Elayne, [who] is a skilled fighter, famously handsome, and protective of his younger sister.”
Callum Kerr as Galad Damodred
Callum Kerr, best known for musical drama Monarch, plays Galad Damodred in The Wheel of Time Season 3. Per Amazon MGM’s official bio: “Galad is a royal prince of Andor, and older brother to Gawyn and Elayne. Despite being the first born, he is not the heir to the throne. Andor is a matriarchy, and so the role of heir falls to his younger sister, Elayne.”
Nuno Lopes as Lord Gaebril
White Lines star Nuno Lopes joins the cast of The Wheel of Time‘s third season as Lord Gaebril. Amazon MGM Studios’ bio for Gaebril describes him as “Queen Morgase’s male consort. Both her lover and adviser, he assists in overseeing matters political and military. Andor is a matriarchal society, and so his power and influence, though vast, are always second to that of his Queen, to whom his loyalties and services are sworn.”
