Kahn is the Sage at the Library of Time in the city of Shangri-La. As the sage, he is responsible for translating the books stored in the Library for others to read as well as safe-guarding the library against would-be intruders. He meets Gina while exploring outside his city. He saves her from freezing to death and the two of them hit it off together right away. Unaware of it at the time he meets Gina, Kahn has a major admirer in Empress Lynn, the girl banished to the astral rifts by Gyphon during his unsuccesful attempt to take over the Library. Gina reluctantly breaks up with Kahn in Issue #9 of the black and white series so he and Lynn can have a relationship.
