==In Deadhouse Gates==
Kesen was about seven years old when his family was forced to evacuate the Malazan garrison at Orbal in the face of the Seven Cities Rebellion. The column of retreating families and their military escort was struck by an Army of the Apocalypse as it marched south. Kesen's life was spared by the unexpected arrival of Kalam Mekhar, who rescued his family from bandits, then escorted them to safety in Aren.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 9, UK MMPB p.359-361Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 13, US HC p.364
Kesen asked Kalam to train him to fight, but Kalam replied that he expected "your father has a better life in mind for you, lad. Fighting is for people who fail at everything else."Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 9, US HC p.238
==In The Bonehunters==
Keneb mentioned that Selv had returned to the safety of her family estate on Quon Tali with Kesen and Vaneb. The couple had grown apart during their two years on garrison duty before the rebellion and only the need to survive had momentarily brought them back together during the violent uprising. Keneb suspected she did not miss him, athough his children might. He also believed his wife had found a new man in her life away from him.The Bonehunters, Chapter 7 According to Fiddler, Selv had set Keneb aside for the Untan noble, Exent Hadar.The Bonehunters, Chapter 22, UK MMPB p.1026
