Kofrinna Ladradun (pronounced koe-FRIHN-ah lay-DRAH-duhn) was the late wife of Bennat Ladradun. She died along with their children in a fire, causing Ben to leave Kugisko and seek out Pawel Godsforge to learn how to fight fires. She never appeared in any of the novels and was only mentioned in Cold Fire. For the plot of this book she was quite important, however, as her death was the original catalyst behind Ben's actions.
