This market will resolve YES if any character who was established in the Wheel of Time book series to be a Darkfriend is not similarly established to be a Darkfriend in the Amazon TV series.

Companion market for the opposite condition:

For purposes of this market, two characters are the same if they have the same name (even if a character in the show is clearly integrating parts of some other character's plot arc from the books).

For purposes of this market, being a Darkfriend means saying explicitly "I am a Darkfriend," or similar language such as "I have sworn oaths to the Great Lord bwa ha ha." (Not counting obvious jokes or lies.) Being identified as a Darkfriend by another major evil character also counts. Also, once you start down the Dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Any character who has ever been a Darkfriend counts (even if they later regret it and try to redeem themselves, or whatever).

In the absence of a YES resolution, this market is intended to stay open until the end of the series. I will adjust the closing date as needed. If the series is cancelled before completion, I will wait for one year after the official announcement of cancellation, and resolve YES if interviews with people involved in the show clearly indicate an intent for a character to be handled differently from the books.

So... it doesn't look like the show ended up confirming Ingtar as a Darkfriend. Not sure if I should wait and see if they revisit his story in a later season, or if they clarify in interviews, but this is looking quite a bit like a YES to me.

@NLeseul I think Rafe said in an interview that his darkfriend-reveal scene was cut. I'm not sure if that makes him canonically a non-darkfriend in the show or canonically a darkfriend.

@moyamo If there's an interview where someone connected with the show confirms that he was intended to be a Darkfriend, then he counts as a Darkfriend for purposes of this market.
