## **Codex: Journal Entry from First Enchanter Irving Regarding Apprentice Kios Surana, Circa 9:18 Dragon**

“*I found the child in the basement again. I don’t know how she keeps slipping in, but it’s becoming an issue with the Knight-Commander.* *She was sitting right there, in front of the Eleni Zinovia statue again. It’s the only time I’ve heard the young child talk is to that thing. Some of the other Enchanters seem to be worried that she is possessed, but every time we inspect the girl, she’s fine.*

*Of course, she’s fine.*

*Children, even mage children, can have imaginary friends and it not be a trick of the Fade.* *We’ll simply need to talk with her again and double-check that she isn’t there before everyone goes to bed at night. Perhaps we should start double-checking the doors remain locked. Perhaps assigning some of the older apprentices to keep an eye on her might do some good too, not just in keeping an eye on her, but also hopefully to acclimate her to social situations.*

*I’ll ask Wynne in the morning for her opinion and suggestions on the matter.”*

## Biography

Coming into the Circle at age 4 or 5, Kios does not remember much of anything before her life in the Circle, and part of her prefers to keep it that way. She knew she was once a farmer’s child, and she spent what little of her youth before Circle hiding in her family’s barley fields and chasing barn cats.

She enjoys the quiet consistency of the circle. While she may seem stern and recluse, she simply is slow to warm to social interaction with new people.

## After the Fifth Blight

In the few months after the Fifth Blight Warden-Commander Kios Surana travels back to the Brecilian Forest and stays with Zathrian's clan, working with and travelling with them for some time. Given that she has never been outside of Kinloch Hold aside from during the Blight she stays with them and uses her time with the Clan to acclimate to life outside of the Circle. She is eventually called to Weisshaupt where she is given the title of Warden-Commander after a tribunal in regards to her and Alistair's survival after slaying the Archdemon. When she is given the title of Warden-Commander she is also taked with rebuilding the Warden forces within Ferelden.

There is some animosity between herself and the Hossberg Wardens as a result of her tribunal. Her answers are deemed unsatisfactory, but she is released to her new station with a new focus on finding a cure for the Taint.
