Kharshai

Kharshai is mentioned by Azzanadra as a possibly imprisoned Mahjarrat.

"Kharshai may yet live, I can sense no trace of his death upon this world, but nor can I sense his pulse; perhaps his neutrality has earnt him a prison such as mine was." .

Due to similarities in spelling, there is some speculation this is another name for Khazard. However, Khazard has never been portrayed as a smart Mahjarrat, and it's doubted that he could conceal his existence from Azzanadra. It's more likely Kharshai is imprisoned, as Azzanadra suspects, as Azzanadra seemed surprised when informed of Akthanakos' survival - implying he is not able to detect an imprisoned Mahjarrat.

"On a happier note it is good to hear that Akthanakos is around and still loyal to our lord, for he disappeared and we did not know what had happened to him." .

Some players speculate that the Fremennik warrior, Koschei the Deathless, is indeed Kharshai. This is because of his unknown past, loss of memory, the symbol of Zamorak burned onto his torso, inability to die by conventional means, and how and where he was found (close to the Mahjarrat's ritual site).

Koschei is also a popular figure in Russian folklore. As is usual in Russian transliterations, there are numerous other spellings. The spelling in other Slavic languages (like Polish "Kościej") suggests that his name may be derived from "kost" (rus. кость pol. kość=bone); thus suggesting a skeleton-like appearance, which also indicates a possible connection with the Mahjarrat.
