The '''Hero of Ages''' was a prophesied savior who would supposedly take the power of the [[Well of Ascension]] and use it to save the world. The Hero of Ages was also called '''Rabzeen''' and the '''Anamnesor'''.{{epigraph ref|woa|12}} Kwaan originally thought that The Hero of Ages was Alendi from [[Khlennium]]. He later realized that [[Ruin]] had been tampering with the prophecies and that he was wrong about Alendi being the Hero. He sent his nephew [[Rashek]] to stop [[Alendi]] from reaching the [[Well of Ascension]] and if necessary to kill him.{{epigraph ref|woa|56}}
After the [[Collapse]] of the [[Final Empire]] it was thought that [[Vin]] was the Hero. This assumption later turned out to be incorrect, as it was actually [[Sazed]].
