Mulaen is a Seanchan *sul'dam* who trains other *sul'dam* in Falme.

## History

### Early life

Mulaen was presumably born and raised in the Seanchan lands across the Aryth Ocean. She was part of the Seanchan fleet that returned to the Westlands and took control of the coastal city Falme.

### Season 2

Mulaen leads an instruction for other *sul'dam* outside the city of Falme. She has the *sul'dam* demonstrate their damane's power by releasing a blast of air. Seta does a demonstration with her *damane*. Mulaen then asks Renna what she has named her *damane*, and Renna answers that she's allowed Egwene to keep her name. Mulaen hesitates a moment and there's a slight twitch in her lip, seemingly displeased with this. She then has Renna do a demonstration. She and the other *sul'dam* and *damane* are knocked by the blast of Egwene's power.

## Physical appearance

Mulaen is an adult woman with dark skin, black hair, and dark brown eyes. She wears the uniform of the *sul'dam*.

## Quotes

> **Mulaen**Being awarded a *damane* is both a recognition of your contributions and an investment in your future within our empire. You should all be very proud. Few women are capable of wearing the bracelet. Fewer still of creating a true link with their *damane*. Have any of you experienced defiance from your *damane*? It is common. Today, you will test your *damane*'s strength. Understand the raw power available to her so you can work out how to use it. Let's begin.— Mulaen beginning the instruction with the other *sul'dam*, season 2 episode 7 Daes Dae'mar

> **Mulaen**Renna, what have you named your *damane*?**Renna**I let her keep her name. Egwene.**Mulaen**Let's see what this Egwene can do.— Season 2 episode 7 Daes Dae'mar
