Born on [[Highspire]], Ki-Linn was raised to believe in her own divinity through her Thuggee followers. She was unable to do much with her followers since her cousin, [[Chancellor]] [[Daoshen Liao]], kept her on a short leash.<ref name=ER3145/>

At the age of 19, Ki-Linn was married off to [[Jacob Bannson]] to seal a political alliance between him and Daoshen. While at first reluctant to marry a non-Capellan, she soon at least appeared to genuinely love Bannson and outwardly played the part of a distraught wife when Jacob would flee [[Capellan Confederation|Capellan]] space. Rumors that Ki-Linn in fact unleashed [[Death Commandos]] to kill Bannson were bruited about but never confirmed.<ref name=ER3145/>

The truth of the flight of Jacob, Ki-linn unleashed [[Death Commando]]s to kill him.<ref name=ER3145></ref> It was reported in 3150 that she had died in the recent past through self-immolation on the steps of the Summer Palace.<ref name="TRO:3150p152"/>
  
Ki-Linn also became one of the most outspoken proponents of Daoshen's assault upon the [[Federated Suns]] in [[3144]], and her support roused much popular support behind the invasion.<ref name=ER3145/> As a result, four years later Ki-Linn was livid upon hearing that her cousin was contemplating a peace treaty allowing [[House Davion]] to retain [[New Syrtis]].

====Death and legacy====
 
On 7 September [[3148]], Ki-linn and seven of her most devoted servants, implied to be Thuggees, assembled upon the steps of the [[Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation|Chancellor's]] Summer Palace. Declaring to the assembled crowd of Capellan citizens that she would see the Confederation triumphant, Ki-Linn doused herself with kerosene and immolated herself, joined in like manner by her attendants as she cursed House Davion with her dying shrieks.<ref name=SFp58/>
 
 
 
Completely stunned by his cousin's dramatic demise—which he had never believed her capable of carrying out—Daoshen was forced to publicly declare afterward that no ceasefire was possible between his realm and the Federated Suns.<ref name=SFp58/>
