Kahlan Amnel - The Mother Confessor of the midlands. Kahlan first met Richard while she was fleeing the midlands in search of the first wizard. She is capable of a great power, as all confessors are, of using an element of love in a being to expand that element so large that that being will do whatever a confessor asks of them. Confessors were created by the ancient wizards to find truth from untruth. As time went by, Kahlan marrys Richard and they both continue their adventures to this day.

His view on life is that there is nothing more important than eating and thinking.

 

Chase - Boundary Warden in charge of keeping the peace on the westland side of the boundary.

Rachel - Princess Violet's playmate. She escapes with the help of wizard Giller and meets Richard and Kahlan while camping in a wayward pine.

While she escapes, however, she never realizes that a loaf of bread that the wizard gave her contains the very thing that Richard and Kahlan are looking for.

Scarlet - Red dragon that was enslaved by Darken Rahl. Richard, having no other choice at the time, convices Scarlet to help him find his friends by making a deal with her to find her egg in exchange for flying him around. Red dragons are fiercely independent, however, Scarlet's egg was being held captive by Darken Rahl's minions.

Adie - Old sorceress that lives near Kings Port in westland. She first helps Richard and Kahlan by helping them get through the boundary pass. Adie is blind but uses her magic, her gift, to see better sometimes than those who can see normally. Adie is also the keeper of the skrin bone that Richard later uses to banish the spirit of Darken Rahl to the depts of eternal darkness.

Sister Verna - Verna was sent out of her home, the palace of the prophets, to find Richard and return him to the palace.
