Biography[]
Early Life[]
When Zedd was a boy his father, Caracticus Zorander, taught Zedd how to use his wizard powers. Zedd showed much promise in training. Caracticcus spent most of his time with Zedd while Thaddicus, Zedd's younger brother, got to play. This caused some issues between the brothers. He then joined Darken Rahl's father Panis Rahl some time when he was young. Later on, Zedd met a woman named Erylin and had a daughter with her. We assume that Erylin died because she has not appeared so far.
Zedd and Panis Rahl were great friends, to the point where Panis declared that he loved Zedd (as a friend). When Panis Rahl called Zedd to help him with Panis' "problem" (Panis couldn't father a child), offering to raise Zedd's rank to 1st Wizard, Zedd agreed to help Panis. Everything was great until Shota came up with a vision that Darken Rahl would grow up to be an evil tyrant, so Caracticus poisoned Darken Rahl. When Panis found out, he killed Caracticus, effectively ending his friendship with Zedd.
Some time later, Zedd found out his daughter was with child and that his grandchild would be the Seeker, so he went to his daughter and told her. When the boy was born, Zedd took Richard and went to Westland and stayed there with Richard until Kahlan, a Confessor, arrived. Zedd then joinedKahlan and Richard on the quest to defeat Darken Rahl. After returning to the Midlands twenty-two years after leaving, Zedd discovered that his mother had died while he was away.
The First Quest[]
Twenty two years after leaving the Midlands Kahlan, a Confessor, located Zedd and asked him to name the Seeker. After Richard was named they set off to end the tyranny of Darken Rahl. Zedd discovered Taralyn, his daughter, only to learn she had a second child, Jensen, the pristinely ungifted one. Jensen is sent into hiding following the murder of Taralyn. Zedd grows close to Kahlan, and they seem to establish a father-daughter relationship.
