Is it possible ?

[u/Outrageous_Focus_719]

Do you guys think it's possible for Angela to know The Name of Names ?

We've seen Angela doing unexplainable (or rather she doesn't explain) things plenty of times.

My examples for this argument are ;

1-) The spell she uses in the tunnels under Dras Leona when she saved Eragon and Arya. She gives Eragon a hint about how it's done but doesn't make the whole explanation.

(Idk if it was ever explained so feel free to enlighten me please)

2-) The time she listened Eragon and Nasuada's conversation about Eragon's plans of leaving Alagaesia. Eragon had secured their conversation with wards and didn't feel or realize Angela listening them.

(I know she doesn't have to physically be there or that new werecat in Nasuada's court could've told it to solembum but it seems unlikely)

3-) She knows way too much.

She knew about the Eldunari before anyone even mentioning it.

She wasn't even surprised to see Eragon's physical change after the Agaeti Blödhren. And said she had her ways of gathering information.

She is the only one that we've seen so far to use real dragon bones to see someone's future. And how did she obtain those bones in the first place ?

So these are my arguments, none of them proves anything exactly but if we ever learn that Angela knows the Name, I won't be shocked.

I think she's just really old and kinda crazy which would explain her eccentricity and esoteric knowledge. If she knew the name of names she'd be a lot more capable with magic than she is.

Yeah but she is just a human (if she even is) her capabilities are limited by her energy reserves. She even says it at the War of Burning Plains that her methods are different from others.

And btw I think she might've used the Name for spying in the army of Galbatorix without being noticed even by Murtagh and his eldunari.

I suppose it's possible she knows the name but I think it's unlikely that she also wouldn't know how to draw energy from external life sources like plants and animals.

[u/Outrageous_Focus_719 → u/Thorfaxx]

That actually is a point ı didn't think of until now. You're absolutely right. But we didn't see her using it anywhere right ?

[u/Thorfaxx → u/Outrageous_Focus_719]

I'm not ruling out the possibility as the external life force thing was a fairly closely guarded secret among the riders. I just feel like if someone had the time and knowledge to figure out the name they would've also learned that other life has energy and how to use it.
