Taim is a darkfriend and as such is training special ashaman to be new dreadlord during the last battle.
New Dreadlord anybody.

Predictions Made About: Taim
Rating: 2.2
It will be revealed that Moridin replaced Taim. Moridin probably killed Taim and took his identity between Taim's escape from the AS and showing up in Caemlyn to ask for Rand's amnesty.

Taim was tutored by Demandred, but kills Demandred out of jealousy.

The Black Tower will be attacked probably by both Aes Sedai and Rand's/Logain's forces. Taim has the fat man Angreal, which he retrieved after the battle at Dumai's Wells, and he will use it during the battle.

RAnd does not and never has trusted Mazrim Taim. He is and always has been using Mazrim Taim, and one of the things he's using Mazrim Taim for is "Dreadlord Bait!" Rand is allowing, even encouraging Taim to gather DFs who desire to be Dreadlords from all over Randland and collecting them in one building that can be "rent with blood and fire" and razed to the ground while all (or most) of the Shadows male channelers are in it.

Taim is a darkfriend and as such is training special ashaman to be new dreadlord during the last battle.
During the last battle, these ashaman will be fought by the ones loyal to Logain (and thus Rand) and Logain will kill Taim.

Narishima will be the one to end Taim as he is close to killing Rand, probably through ambush.

Taim will attempt to find the seals for the Dark One by using the MoM to impersonate Rand. However, Taim will not know at the time that Rand is missing a hand, and Logain will recognize that it not Rand and kill Taim. Following Taim's death, Logain will become the leader of the Black Tower under Rand, and stomp out the Darkfriend Asha'man

Taim will be revealed in AMOL as being bonded to demandred in a manner that allows him to access thoughts and direct what taim does.

I think there will be a fight between the taim + the black tower w/ and red ajah aes sedai that visited against rand and logain and the rest of the loyal ashaman and his loyal aes sedai. either that or there will be a ruse where it appears that logain kills rand, the dream egwene has (where logain walks over rand but he blows away or something, i cant remember) makes me believe the latter one. but the former theory sounds much more awesome.

In WH, Lews Therin tells Rand, "We are not builders, not you, or I, or the other one." The "other one" he mentions must be Mazrim Taim, and it is just a foreshadowing of how the the Black Tower will actually be split physically. This is how Taim will lose any support he has, because he can't build his little anti-Rand coalition.

Taim is an ambitious bastard but has turned to the shadow after he met Rand. He did this because his ambition to become second most important was not fulfilled. By serving the dark one he hopes to become number one.

Taim serves no master, not the Dark One, or Rand, and is just in it for himself. He will fight for the light in the Last Battle if he lives that long.

Taim was trained by Demmy, without being a DF, because he's so darn arrogant and otherwise evil-characteristics (think Elaida) Shadow-people feel comfortable around him. He knew Demmy was a Forsaken and didn't care, but some time after LoC he swore to the DO and's being groomed as a replacement Forsaken.

Taim, being evil, is not one of the well known ones, but one of the New Forsaken. The New forsaken are those who are replacements for the dead ones. He will be revealed as such at TG, where he will battle Logain, Rand's right-hand channeler

I think RJ is going to twist everyone and have Taim prove his loyalty! Taim will show everyone that the Dragon Reborn has his full support. This may possibly be shown by Taim sacrificing his own life (in Rand form using MoM) so that Rand can live.

I believe that he is being groomed as another possible new forsaken.(as i said with alviarin) he will be killed by logain after trying to kill rand with his asha'man dreadlords after the black tower splits into logains and taims factions. he will be found out a darkfriend and probably a new forsaken

Taim will at some time use the mirror of mists to impersonate Rand, cause some kind of chaos, but Logain will recognise it is not Rand, fight Taim/Rand and kill him... (I think I read a prediction/reading of Logain stepping over Rand's corpse?)

New Dreadlord anybody.
He will be the anti-Dragon Reborn almost, leading all the bad male channeler-Dreadlords.

I think Sammael is Taim, he was before Sammael even "died". He just fell back on that seat of power after his alias as Lord Brend was over.

Taim is one of the Chosen. When O'sangar and Aran'gar (spelling) were created, Shaidar Haran said that they were using suitable bodies they could find in the Blight. Around this time Taim got away from the Aes Sedai, he got lost in the boderlands and captured and taken to the DO. There the DO gave his body to one of the Chosen.

Taim will disappear in a raid or battle somewhere, presumed killed. Demandred will be killed in a battle somewhere else at aproximately the same time. We will never know if they were the same person. (Sometimes I hate RJ)

Taim is a darkfriend, along with the 29 Asha'man he trains in private (no one else is given the sword and Dragon, although some should). Rand will confront Taim, and it will result in Asha'man kiling one another.

Taim is diffenently not a Chosen since Bashere reconized him and he was around before they were released from the seal. I think if Taim is against Rand it's for his own ambition. Other Asha'man are probably darkfriends from Dashiva and the others, but n

I think Mazrim Taim is completely loyal to Rand. RJ is just dangling odd, but misinterpreted, information around Taim to distract us from the real tratiors. I think Dashiva is definitely Damendred.

Mark my word, Taim is in fact an Aes Sedai from the age of legends, who survived by vacuole/stasis-box/timeweave, and who now tries to help Rand. He has also killed Asmodean, not knowing that Asmo had gone over to Rand.
