Sultan Khalid al-Rashid bin Razia al-Saif (lit. Khalid [Eternal], Righteous Son of Razia [Satisfied] of the Sword Tribe), also known as Khalid de Ardyn, is the half-Sarquil son of Razia al-Saif and Belial de Ardyn and brother of Sumrah Brown. He was driven into exile by his aunt, Sultana Adela al-Saif, but returned to the Sultanate of Karaganda later to challenge Adela for the throne of Vanna with help from the Grand Alliance. He was successful in his coup and became the new Sultan until the Battle of Vanna when the invading Northern Horde forced him and his fellow Sarquil into exile in Alent.
