She was actually murdered by the midwife, who was in Flagg's debt because he cured her only son of a deadly illness.

Emotion Eater : Flagg feeds off the pain and misery caused by chaos, which is why he periodically returns to Delain in different identities to plunge the kingdom into war and anarchy. Evil Chancellor : Flagg, first to Roland and then to a bigger extent, Thomas. Eye Scream : Thomas shoots an arrow, the same one that killed Niner, through Flagg's eye.

And yet I tell you, goshawk: I am the King. It gets so bad he becomes entirely dependent on a sleeping potion made by Flagg. Kick the Dog : Almost literally; during his childhood Thomas has a brief, rather evil moment when he finds a starving dog and, while briefly tempted to adopt it as a pet and nurse it back to health like Peter did with his lame horse, instead thinks "what if the dog was Peter?
