History
On Taldain
Khriss was engaged for a time to Gevalden--or Gevin, as he preferred in informal settings[2]--the Prince of Elis. Before their wedding, Gevalden traveled to Dayside in search of the mythical Sand Mages, where he disappeared and was presumed dead. Khriss, determined to seek out what her fiancé was trying to discover, traveled to Dayside with Baon, Cynder, and Jon Acron.[1]
On Dayside, she discovered that Kenton, whom she'd met previously,[1] was the newly appointed Lord Mastrell of the sand masters (or Sand Mages, as she'd previously referred to them).[3] Though initially infuriated, she eventually chose to assist him in his mission to preserve the Diem.[4] She continued to do so even following the news of her betrothed's supposed death [5] and attempted to research the mechanics of Sand Mastery.[6]. Following the party at Lord Admiral's, she decided to try learning it herself, enlisting Kenton's help.[7].
On Scadrial
Khriss and Nazh were discovered by Kelsier in the Cognitive Realm of Scadrial. The pair enlightened Kelsier on how the events on Scadrial were affecting the Cosmere. They remained quite vague as to why they were there - although Khriss mentioned wanting to see what the death of a Shard looks like - or about other events elsewhere in the Cosmere that were unrelated to the current conflict. They left abruptly after Kelsier told them of his meeting with Drifter.[8]
She later appeared at a party in New Seran in post-Catacendre Scadrial.[9] There she stole a dance with Waxillium Ladrian and asked him questions about his powers and how they related to physics. She was also mentioned in a broadsheet ad, telling people who hear talking tools to contact Khriss and Nazh.[10]
Relationships
Nazh
The mapmaker Nazh is in her employ.[11] She commonly sends him out to procure maps, documents and other illustrations for her, particularly in high-risk environments.
Gevalden
During the events of White Sand, she is engaged to prince Gevalden of Elis. They appear to have been quite close, enough so that Khriss organized an expedition to find him on her own following his disappearance on Dayside.[1]
Trivia
- She would be mistaken for being a Makabaki on Roshar.[12][13]
- Khriss was involved in the founding of a university in Silverlight.[14]
- She knows more about the cosmere and its magics than even Hoid or Nazh.[15]
- She is the author of the Ars Arcana.[16]
