Kandra have spent ten centuries enslaved to humankind, serving the Contracts in an effort to keep themselves safe. Most kandra hate humans for their situation, but, ironically, most kandra True Bodies are human-shaped, with two arms, two legs, and a face, even while they curse humankind for keeping them enslaved.{{book ref|mb3|7}}
In the early days of the Final Empire, the kandra attempted to remain secret and blend into human society. However humans feared their abilities, calling them monsters, and began using Allomancy to hunt them down, by way of the Flaw, and kill them. After a few centuries, the kandra were almost extinct.{{book ref|woa|22}}{{book ref|hoa|11}} Out of desperation, the kandra agreed to become servants to humans, never leaving the Homeland unless out on a Contract.{{book ref|woa|40}}
