Dorod 'Koidam was the son of the Koidam Lineage's second Kaidon, Vod 'Koidam, although he was raised by Xutar 'Koidam, Vod's cousin.
While still not fully matured, Dorod accompanied his father and several other Koidam to Sanghelios, where he fought Ysar 'Ondir, a youngling warrior like himself. Using the lessons he learned in duels with his warrior cousin, Ervod, he swiftly defeated Ysar.
