Biography

Season 3

	Episode 3x01 - "Kali, Part III": Kanaan's avatar has the appearance of a large, bald, dark-skinned human male.
	Will Zimmerman and Kanaan Episode 3x02 - "Firewall": In 2005, Cabal agents were tracking an unidentified abnormal, likely Kanaan, in underground caves near Kartosuro, Indonesia. When they moved in, this abnormal activated the extinct Mount Merapi volcano without any seismic warnings, vaporizing 400 Cabal agents. According to Kate Freelander, the entire area is now considered a disaster zone.
	Helen Magnus and Ranna Seneschal on Kanaan's back. Episode 3x11 - "Pax Romana": Kanaan's outer appearance is that of a gigantic fish or whale, with what appears to be long fang-like teeth, and his body is so resistant to the elements that he can actually swim in subterranean magma lakes. Kanaan lives on the edge of the mantle layer of the Earth's core, and has a close alliance with Praxis; he is regularly called upon every couple hundred years to help relieve pressure buildup from magma pockets by creating levees, which in turn provide near-limitless geothermal energy to the city. When Will Zimmerman begged the avatars to stop the tidal waves generated by Kali, Kanaan agreed and triggered an earthquake in Pakistan that generated a counter wave to Kali's. The seismic tremors that followed forced the predatory trachnoids that lived in Hollow Earth to migrate to deeper caves, where one of the parasitic queens infested one of Kanaan's blood vessels, ultimately causing renal failure. Helen Magnus and Ranna Seneschal were eventually able perform an emergency surgery to remove the parasite and save Kanaan's life.
