Cara was a former personal Mord-Sith protector of Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell, as well as one of their closest friends. Following the defeat of Darken Rahl, Cara pledged her life to serving Richard as the new Lord Rahl. Through her years of service to the Lord Rahl and Mother Confessor she developed a strong friendship, and sense of loyalty, to both. Cara proved herself an exceptional ally to the cause of the D'Haran Empire, serving throughout the Imperial Order War; saving the lives of Kahlan and Richard many times throughout. Cara also proved loyal during the events surrounding the Chainfire spell, during which she came close to death at the hands of the Blood Beast. Following the end of the war, Cara remained loyal to Richard and Kahlan, and eventually wed General Benjamin Meiffert. She was, by this time, considered the "implicit authority" amongst the Mord-Sith.
