Richard Rahl:

Richard Rahl did not know who he really was until later in life. He is a wizard and Zedd is his grandfather. Richard is close to death when Kahlan saved him. They get married at the village of the Mud People and Richard's thoughts often seem disconnected to Kahlan, but the points are then connected by the author. This happens with the chicken who is not a chicken.

Kahlan Amnell:

Kahlan is the Mother Confessor and is the last of her kind. She has great power and also fell in love with Richard. She is Richard's second wife and she, unlike Richard, knew who she was and was prepared for her role from a young age.

Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander

Zedd is Richard's grandfather and is also a wizard.

Prelate Annalina:

Annalina is the Prelate of the Sisters of the Light and gave up her post to Verna...
