When Richard Cypher and Kahlan Amnell needed answers on how to defeat Darken Rahl, they decided to head into Agaden Reach and speak with Shota. First Wizard Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander later came to the Reach to retrieve the Sword of Truth from Samuel.
Though he begged Shota to lift the spell, even she proved unable to do so, and as such simply bewitched Samuel into becoming her faithful companion. As all Seekers did, except those able to turn the blade of the Sword of Truth White, Samuel had fallen victim to the curse that destroyed his body and mind. Shota showed fear about possibly reliving such an age.Īt one point, the former Seeker of Truth, Samuel, came to the Agaden Reach to live with Shota. She remarked at one point that her mother lived through an age where male Confessors were allowed to live and caused chaos. Not much was known about the early life of Shota.
