Most of these include Perrin Aybara, as she’s his primary love interest.
As Faile explained to Perrin inThe Wheel of Timeseason 3 episode 6, she comes from Salidar.
After refusing, Faile told her brother what happened, setting up a confrontation between the two.
As a result,her mother killed him, leaving Faile with guilt over his fate.
This decision was made before she learned about her brother’s death at her mother’s hands.
As for what became of her mother afterward, that’s not been explained as of yet.

However, only one of her parents - her father, Davram Bashere - was a general.
Her mother, Deira ni Ghaline t’Bashere, was not involved directly in military affairs.
What’s more, she wasn’t a Darkfriend.

Rather, she strongly supported her husband and cared deeply for her children.
So, both her allegiance and the killing of her own son were inventions of the show.
InThe Wheel of Timebooks, Faile Bashere is the cousin of Tenobia, the queen of Saldaea.
Queen Tenobia is Davram Bashere’s niece.
Whether or not this connection has been carried over to Prime Video’s adaptation hasn’t been established yet.
It’s known from the books that she has multiple brothers, including one named Maedin.
Two of them are older than Faile, and both died in their military duties.
This led to increased pressure on Faile, as it led to her taking on more responsibilities.
Davram gradually becomes one of Rand al’Thor’s most trusted military advisors and a member of his inner circle.

What’s worse, one of his children was killed by her.
This is a level of emotional trauma that wasn’t present in the book character’s backstory.
What Was The Point Of Faile’s New Backstory?
But only in one of these stories does Faile feel guilt over what happened to them.
It’s possible that it was this particular difference that was behind the change to Faile’s past.
