Aginor, formerly known as Ishar Morrad Chuain, was one of the thirteen Forsaken who were trapped at Shayol Ghul due to the Dragon's sealing. Aginor was foremost in the creation of artificial constructs and created the Shadowspawn.
Aginor had a strong face and was as tall as Rand al'Thor.
Aginor was sealed very close to the surface and as a result time altered his features quite significantly. The skin of his face was like crazed parchment drawn tight over a skull, then pulled tighter still. Wispy tufts of brittle hair stood at odd places on his scabrous scalp. His ears were withered bits like scraps of ancient leather; his eyes sunken, peering out of his head as if from the ends of tunnels.
Among the Forsaken he was second in strength only to Ishamael and could match Lews Therin in the Hall of the Servants (or so he claimed). However, he appeared to be somewhat subservient to Demandred and admitted to being terrified of Ishamael.
Before turning to the Shadow, Ishar Chuain was a famous biologist. However, his desire for further experiments and discovery earned him a ban from genetic experimentation by the Hall of Servants. Acquiring more freedom to experiment under the Shadow, he created the Shadowspawn during the War of Power, but was never directly involved with military operations. It is believed that somewhere between 35 and 50 million people died in the experiments resulting in the Shadowspawn, at a rate of almost 10,000 per day from start to finish in the War of Power.
Aginor and Balthamel were sealed near the surface of the Bore, and as such aged immensely by the time of their release. During his sleep of three thousand years, Aginor experienced endless nightmares. He and Balthamel were the first to be released.
After his release, Aginor attempted to control all of the One Power from the Eye of the World, and was instead killed by Rand al'Thor, & burned to ash as Rand wrested the One Power from him.
The Dark One recovered Aginor's soul and gave him a new body and name, Osan'gar. Osan'gar assumed the alias of "Corlan Dashiva" who was an Asha'man from the Black Hills.
