History
"In the name of Marley family I swear I will destroy him!!!"

- Kahn Marley

Kahn is a descendent of the Marley clan, a family that had hunted vampires, particularly Neclord, for over 300 years. His grandfather and father had hunted Neclord before him but were killed by the vampire. He fought using "shadow weapons", small weapons that can be easily concealed on the body.

Kahn himself was a master at fighting vampires, the fruit of the Marley family's 300-year-long obsession with destroying the beings. He joined forces with Viktor and the Star Dragon Sword in an attempt to defeat Neclord after the vampire reappeared in North Window. Once Neclord retreated, Kahn would leave to follow his own leads.

He would search for Sierra Mikain, the first vampire, and in doing so would end up on the trail of Nash Latkje in Greenhill City. When the city came under siege by the Highland Army he would be swiftly conscripted by Nash. During the battle he would use a Canopy Defense rune scroll to nullify the magic of the Highland mages.

Some time later, he would aide the New State Army during Neclord's attempt to take over Tinto Principality, working alongside Sierra. Kahn's knowledge of vampire hunting techniques proved indispensable, as he sealed Neclord's Doppelganger Secret using a technique that his father and grandfather had developed.

Following the final defeat of Neclord, Kahn remained with the New State Army for the duration of the Dunan Unification War, aiding them in the fight against the Highland Army. Following the war, after completing the 300-year mission of the Marley family, Kahn retired from vampire hunting and began a new life.
