Convinced if he lets her live, the Ratan will kill her instead, Kaden takes Lia back to Venda under the guise that she has the gift, and can be useful to Venda and the Komizar. He ultimately decides he can't harm her, and instead kidnaps her. In Terravin, Kaden frequently spars with Rafe, both verbally and physically, as they jockey for Lia's good opinion. He bides his time in Terravin, somewhat because of its comforts compared to the Cam Lanteux and somewhat because of his growing attraction to Lia. In The Kiss of Deception, Kaden is sent to Morrighan by the Komizar to assassinate Lia. Upon learning of Kaden's treatment, the Komizar murders his beggar captors and takes Kaden back to Venda, training him to be Ratan and eventually The Assassin of Venda. Starved and beaten by the beggars for years, at eleven Kaden has a chance encounter with the Komizar, who notices his wounds and offers him shelter. Kaden was immediately sold by his father to wandering beggars for one copper, on the promise that they would never bring him back. While Kaden has pleasant memories of his mother and her kindness, she died when he was just eight. He comes to disdain the gift, and is slow to realize Lia also has the sight due to his prejudices regarding it. Kaden has the sight, like his mother - its manifestation at a young age contributed to his half-brothers' and The Lady's hatred of him. Kaden was born to Cateryn of County Duerr, while she worked for Lord Roche as a governess in Morrighan. Kaden is well built and muscular with lashing scars across his back from his childhood. His brown eyes hide turbulence beneath the surface and are described by Lia as "warm and smokey". Kaden is described as having light blonde hair with movements that are quiet and deliberate like those of a hunter.
