Oba Rahl
From Sword of Truth Wiki
Oba Rahl was a son of Darken Rahl, who like his half sister Jennsen Rahl, was pristinely ungifted, having no spark of the gift whatsoever, not even the small spark that most people have which allows them to be able to interact with magic. This means two things, that he cannot observe magic, and he is immune to it. From this, Oba was able to kill several people of magic who were unable to use their gift against him, causing Oba to think he was invincible.

[edit] History
[edit] Early Life
Oba's early life was very difficult. His mother would often make him do every chore that needed to be done at the house, as well as made him drink horrible, burning liquids that his mother told him were to 'cleanse the evil' that he was born with, always inside of him. Unlike Jennsen, he embraced the voices from the Underworld, and allowed them to rule him, eventually to his death.
[edit] Current Role
Oba appeared in the following book in the Sword of Truth series; Pillars of Creation.
[edit] Pillars of Creation
He first killed his mother to escape her 'cures', then discovered he liked having the power over life and death. Raping and murdering, he always said he 'liked to learn new things', and cut people open to see what their insides looked like, much like Darken Rahl did, if for different reasons.

[edit] Forces From the Underworld
Oba was able to make people do as he wished, simply by speaking it they would do as they were told, due to intervention from underworld forces.
He was also successful in paralyzing Richard, and the others with him and kidnap Kahlan, who he wanted to be his bride after he inherited D'Hara and the People's Palace. Richard later left him for dead after he was trapped under a rock slide, to show that he had no mercy for those of his kind.
