List of Elfquest Characters - Go-Back Elves

Go-Back Elves

While the Go-Backs are technically immortal (with the possible exception of Kahvi and her descendants), they have lifespans no longer than—and often shorter than—those of the mortal Wolfriders, thanks to their warlike and reckless lifestyle; thus, in their attitudes toward life and death, they are more like the Wolfriders than like the other immortal elves.

• Kahvi (f) (leader) Daughter of Two-Spear and Willowgreen. Former lovemate to both Rayek and Cutter, as well as many others. Mother of Vaya, Venka, and possibly more. Very stubborn and rowdy, she is a strong, loyal chief. Presently lovemates with Tyldak. She has long brown hair and green eyes.
• Krim (f) cave guard, forms a threesome with Skot and Pike. She later gives birth to two sons, Sust and Cheipar. She has short blonde hair and blue eyes.
• Chot (m) Zey's second in command, a complete glutton. He later adjusts to life in the Sun Village when he is spared, tormenting Suntop and falling in love with Shenshen. He later joins Jethel in Forevergreen and rescues No Name. He has long brown hair and brown eyes.
• Urda (f) Kahvi's trusted friend, watcher of the children and co-second in command. Killed by the Go-Back Zey when she refuses to comply with the orders to attack the Sun-Folk. She had white hair and pale eyes.
• Mardu (f) Kahvi's trusted second-in-command, who later serves as the Go-Backs' acting chief when Kahvi is away (which is increasingly often). She taunts Rayek constantly and is finally backhanded for her tongue. She has red-brown hair and brown eyes.
• Skot (m) cave guard, enjoys food a lot. Forms a threesome with Krim and Pike. He is later killed in the Shards era Battle for the Palace, shortly after fathering Sust and/or Cheipar. He had a strong desire to be a father. He had long dark brown hair and brown eyes.
• Vaya (f) Pike's one-time lovemate, she was captured in an opening skirmish in the Battle for the Palace while holding off the mountain trolls so the others could escape. She was brought before King Guttlekraw, who was about to torture her for military information. Both to protect the tribe and desiring a worthy death her enemies would never grant, she grabbed a dagger and lunged at the troll king, successfully provoking his guards to kill her before Guttlekraw could learn anything. Later, her discarded body was collected by Two-Edge and left in the secret armory clothed in armor to inspire her tribe to wear armor as well. Kahvi, her mother, grieved for her; In Vaya's lifetime, she had never seen her mother cry. She had brown hair and brown eyes.
• Venka (f) Kahvi and Rayek's daughter, raised by the Wolfriders after her parents disappeared. Known for her temperance and her skill at countering any kind of elfin magic, particularly Winnowill's. She believes her destiny is intertwined with the Go-Backs. She has black hair and yellow eyes, and dark skin.
• Yif (m) This elf healed by Leetah, but later was killed in the Elf-Troll War.
• Yun (f) Skywise's daughter with an unknown Go-Back. Very stubborn and outspoken, she also loves the stars. Lovemate of Mender. White blonde hair and pale blue eyes.
• Zey (m) Possible son of Mardu, a young upstart who took over while Kahvi was out. His henchman was Chot. He attacked the Sunfolk pointlessly, starting a massacre on both tribes. They use Greymung's old tunnels to get there. Kahvi kills him in the battle, as it turns out she was resting with the Sunfolk at the time. Red brown hair and dark eyes.
