Kwaan was born a Feruchemist during the [[Classical Scadrial|Classical Era]] of Scadrial and as a man became a [[Worldbringer]], a [[Terris]] scholar and religious leader. The man preferred his studies, often choosing eccentric questions to answer, such as determining whether or not trees can think. In the city of [[Khlennium]] Kwaan happened to meet a young man named Alendi. Kwaan befriended Alendi, and employed him as an assistant during Alendi's first few months in Khlennium. |

After several years of friendship Kwaan began to wonder if the Alendi might be the [[Hero of Ages]], a prophesied Terris savior. He began connecting signs of the Anticipation to the man and eventually became convinced. He presented his findings to the Conclave and was scorned by them. They disbelieved that he had found the Hero, but Kwaan was determined to prove them wrong. He asked Alendi if he could follow him on his journeys and Alendi agreed. Eventually Alendi discovered that Kwaan believed him the Hero and came to believe it himself as well. Alendi did what Kwaan could not, and persuaded the Terris leadership that he fit the prophecy of the Hero. |

By the time that Alendi journeyed to the Well, Kwaan had gone into hiding to protect himself from Alendi's retribution. After Rashek successfully murdered Alendi and took the power at the Well for himself, he spoke into Kwaan's mind as he did to his friends, the other packmen.{{ |

Kwaan alone refused the offer, believing it to be a betrayal of who the Terris were as a people. In his anger Rashek attempted to destroy Kwaan for his insolence, but as he held the power of [[Preservation]] he was unable to do so and Kwaan remained a human. He spent his last few months in hiding, recording his final account in a steel plate before Rashek managed to track Kwaan down and kill him. |
