History

 

Born into the society of the High Elves, Kahlan's family was not much to mingle with others of their kind, choosing to live within the deeper forests away from the city of Malinor. Kahlan's mother was a dressmaker, renowned for her fine detail in the closeness to nature in her gowns. Her father was a high esteemed trader among those of the other races, bringing goods, and even some of his wives dresses, from many lands to others. The family of three lived comfortably and Kahlan's parents spent every minute of their spare time educating their daughter about the world and the different races that were roaming the lands.

 

When Kahlan turned 20 (Elven years) she had gone out to get spider silk for her mothers dresses to make, her parents were preparing for dinner. Kahlan came to discover her house torn apart and her parents missing. All that was left were some dress materials, her bow and arrows, and some of her books on the different races.

 

For a time Kahlan tried searching for her parents, going to the Elven towns and even so far as the Human territories to ask anyone who knew them if they had been seen, and in those 73 years nothing had come to pass. Starting anew when she had turned 80 she decided to carry on her education about the lands and those that dwell in it, striving to become a great merchant like her father and a better archer.

 

As time passed she came to know that she was more sheltered by her parents than she had first come to believe. Orders ravaged the lands that sought to destroy her kind and made her fearful of the short-lived humans. Until, that is, she met her love; Corvo Dracaena. 

 

After she was married Kahlan took on Corvo's name and strove to stand by his side no matter what direction he went in. Even when he decided to try and become a White Rose. Though that happiness faded, shortly after Kahlan came home to find Corvo with another woman. Kahlan left Corvo (for a short while on good terms). When Kahlan was kidnapped and tortured by the Flays, she was released by payment from Corvo who got word of her imprisonment. Shortly afterwords Kahlan learned from Corvo's brother Tavon that he had committed suicide.

 

When her companion Miles Lionheart came into her life, he introduced her to Apollo Ventis of the Ventis family. He was the leader of a guild called the Crimson Brotherhood, a group of bounty hunters, in which she was welcome to join. She did. As relations with the Brotherhood turned sour with their human alliances, the Brotherhood went into hiding, Kahlan taking it upon herself to communicate with her allies about any possible jobs her and her guild mates could accomplish to get their relations back. The Brotherhood has since changed it's name and have become more discreet. 

 

After a couple of years with the guild, a new member joined, his name was Maximus, soon after Kahlan learned this man, this young elf, to be her brother. Her parents, it turned out, had fled to the human lands to escape humans who were persecuting them for harboring a fugitive they believed to be innocent. While they were in Oren, they had a son. Soon after they were killed when soldiers came to their house and executed them in front of Maximus, who was hiding under their bed.

 

Now as Kahlan lives with her new life and deals with her own demons she weighs that sometimes doing the right thing means going against what you believe to get answer.
