The ruler of the realm of Vassagonia, in the Lone Wolf world. Roughly equivalent to a king or sultan, the zakhan lived in a huge palace in the city of Barrakeesh, always surrounded by retainers and sharnazim guards. The zakhan typically demanded absolute obedience from his subjects, although history tells of a number of good rulers.
When Lone Wolf arrives in Barrakeesh, the old zakhan has died (according to the Legends novels, assassinated by the Darklords), and is replaced by a new Zakhan, Kimah. Kimah is extremely evil and is allied with the Darklords. He reappears in Lone Wolf 9: The Cauldron of Terror, at the head of the Vassagonian army besieging Tahou alongside the Darklord army, and armed with a lethal golden orb emitting a protective shield. Those who even touch the light-shield are killed instantly.
The Zakhan Kimah is one of the hardest opponents to beat in the entire Lone Wolf series, especially if Lone Wolf is armed with the Sommerswerd. (The problem can be avoided somewhat if this item is left behind for this quest, although the reason why this weakens the zakhan is not clear; perhaps the orb absorbs the sword's light?)
In the Legends series, the Zakhan Kimah is tortured and apparently killed by Vassagonian rebels, and a new, good-aligned Zakhan takes over. Although it is clear to a careful reader that he has not been killed, the series stops before this issue is resolved (only one book before it would have to be raised again).

Get the Zakhan mug.She is a beautiful, sweet girl inside and out. Her name actually means "beautiful" in Arabic. She has a very strong soul and can be very sociable once you get to know her. She loves nature, art and music and is one of the sweetest people you'll meet. Give her lots of attention and she'll love you forever. Don't mess with her and be negative and rude to her or she'll be a cold, isolating person who won't give a second thought about you. Never ignore Zahiana, or she will feel lonely and unwanted. Overall, Zahiana is a beautiful, kind, artistic girl.
I just couldn't stop thinking about Zahiana.

Get the zaidan mug.An amazing and beautiful person inside and out, a person with this name will be by far the best friend a person can get. They have amazing eyes that can stop the rain and a heart made of gold. They will always be there for their friends and will never give up on something half finished. People with this name often have obsessions with small forms of animals such as spiders and Rhino beetles. Sometimes people with this name have been known to have a large knowledge of most things, especially space. Although people with these names possess these many quality’s they can often go their entire lives not realising how amazingly wonderful they really are.
