The Broken Wolf is Hopper, whose shade was killed by Slayer in Tel’aran’rhiod during the battle which freed the White Tower from the dark grip of Mesaana. Death “knew” Hopper because he had already died. It’s hard to know whose destruction was foretold to bring fear; whether it is that of Perrin or Hopper. The people feared neither. Rand’s destruction, on the other hand, was much feared, as was the Last Battle itself. The prophecy appears to call Rand the Broken Champion, implying that his new-found enlightened state wouldn’t last. Lanfear did her best to destabilise it in the Towers of Midnight Epilogue and A Memory of Light, and the Dark One tried hard to destroy it. As it turned out, it was the Dark One’s champion, the Naeblis, who broke and longed for death, and who contributed to sealing the Dark One away, and provided the body for the Dragon’s transmigration.
