NanKhet

NanKhet, the ancient king of Silnasen in Jah Keved (in addition to his brother, NanHar), held the throne for only three months.
Jasnah had long been interested in NanKhet's death, because of that rule. He'd succeeded to the throne when the previous king, his brother NanHar, had taken ill and died while on campaign in what would become modern Triax.
Remarkably, during the brief span of his reign, NanKhet survived six assassination attempts. The first had come from his sister, who had wanted to place her husband on the throne. After surviving poisoning, NanKhet had put them both to death.
Soon after, their son had tried to kill him in his bed. NanKhet, apparently a light sleeper, struck down his nephew with his own sword.
NanKhet's cousin tried next - which attack left NanKhet blinded in one eye - and was followed by another brother, an uncle, and finally NanKhet's own son. At the end of three exasperating months, according to Oileyes:
Jasnah was simultaneously fascinated and worried by the accounts of the long history of Vorin lands, and particularly taken with Natata Ved's account of NanKhet. However, the story of the old Veden king had taught her something troubling: often, the greatest threat to a ruling family are its own members.
