A member of Verein Kirche von Arkhelle who recommended Anrel Salier, although Cardinal Maurul Silkendawn never could understand why. They were not part of the platoon that Anrel led into the Ùrlar Valley, and remained in Kaarst after Anrel disappeared. After a couple of years, he was the only person still talking to Elira Lein, although she suspected this was only because he knew that Elira knew Anrel, who he was looking for, and said he was absent more than he was around. Six months before the bone devil was defeated in large part due to Anrel, Kham left their post and disappeared, although Elira didn't seem to be aware of this. Cardinal Silkendawn reported this to Anrel, along with his belief that Kham will have gone to Ùrlar Valley.

When Grokko, Kenneth and Vichthart first meet and free Anrel from the sewers beneath Senneborn, he only gives his name as Kham, which he continues to use as his name to them and to others all the way until he kills the bone devil. When he asks Leagallow Tiaathque to tell Elira Lein he visited, he gives his name as Kham Gohlrim. When he later meets Elira in the shop, Mira tries to understand why they both start talking about Kham in the third person. Elira tells Anrel that Kham is back in town and has sent him a letter, then when Mira calls Anrel ‘Kham’, she realizes with dismay that Anrel has been using Kham's name as a pseudonym.

Anrel suggests to Elira that Kham could protect her, but she is not confident of this, believing they've only remained in as little contact as they have due to Kham's desire to find Anrel. Elira claims that ‘he’ is still sending people up north, which sounds like she means Kham, but might also refer to Cardinal Silkendawn.
