| I'm just asking, how this is any better. We were slaves under the Alethi. Now we're slaves under the Fused. Great. It does me so much good to know that our misery is now at the hands of our own people.

{{dialogue
Khen was a slave in [[Sadeas princedom|Sadeas's princedom]]. During the first [[Everstorm]], when her identity was restored and she was freed from slaveform, she escaped. She gathered a group of singers, including [[Sah]], and they traveled to [[Revolar]] under the guidance of [[Yixli]], a [[voidspren]]. While travelling, she and Sah played a [[Rosharan card game|card game]]. Along the way the group took Kaladin captive, when he submitted willingly. Kaladin freed himself from his bonds a few days later but stayed with the group and taught them how to survive while on the run. On the way to Revolar, Khen cut herself with Kaladin's knife whilst cutting firewood. Kaladin cleaned the cut and taught her how best to care for the wound to prevent attracting rotspren and infection. During an unexpected highstrorm, Khen and her group took shelter in a [[lighteyes]]' stormbunker after Kaladin struck a deal with the man. When inside, Khen promised Kaladin that she would speak for him when they reached the gathering.{{book ref|sa3|14}}{{book ref|sa3|20}}{{book ref|sa3|23}} ▼

Once she reached Revolar, the group join the [[Voidbringer]] army gathering to attack [[Kholinar]]. Upon seeing the Fused, Kaladin left, revealing himself as a human spy. Khen's group was punished for harboring him and put to work hauling lumber where she met Moash. An overseer informed them they were building siege equipment for the attack on [[Kholinar]] and that Khen, Moash, and her group of singers would be fighting in the front line.{{book ref|sa3|31}}{{book ref|sa3|51}} Khen, angry with their situation argued with Sah, stating that they were being unfairly treated by their own gods. She began to feel helpless, with no idea what to do. After Moash failed to convinced [[Leshwi]] to treat the group more favorably, he began training them in combat skills in preparation for the assault on Kholinar.{{book ref|sa3|54}} ▼

▲Once she reached Revolar, the group
Ten months later, Khen told Moash she was leaving Kholinar, as she wanted to really live with her own mind and Passions and instead felt as if she'd just woken up and started killing. They discuss becoming "unchained" by giving negative emotions to [[Odium]], but Khen saw that Moash was still chained to his emotions by Kaladin. Moash invited her to return and fight alongside him again if she ever did become unchained, ending their conversation.{{book ref|sa4|i|4}}
