Kindrie Soul-Walker is a Kencyr Highborn of the house of Knorth. He is the child of Gerridon and Tieri. He is widely believed to be a bastard since his father is not generally known, and the contract made between Gerridon and Gerraint, Tieri's father and then Highlord, was consumated long after Ganth, a witness to the contract, had gone into exile. The contract is discovered by Jame in the Moon Garden, where Tierir's death banner hangs in disgrace, in Bound In Blood. She shows it to him, and, to calm his horror at discovering his lineage, tells him of her own.
