One cannot escape the pressure from one Bites-Sith, Richard Rahl being the exception which confirms the rule. This control on its victims being such as it prevents them until committing suicide.

In Hara, the girls are endoctrinées with becoming Bites-Sith since their more young age. The girls are selected according to their in and of the love which they could receive, because it is of tradition that only most innocent can cause the worst sufferings. The trainer can be a man using Agiel, although only the women can reach under Bites-Sith. The process of drive is done into three brisages psychological successive. The torture of the girl by a Agiel, then a bulk-heading in a keep constitutes the first stage (Cara even developed a phobia of the rats of it). The trainer breaks then his will by torturing and/or raping his mother, before killing her, all that in front of the eyes of his daughter. The final test of one Bites-Sith is to torture his/her own father until death with a Agiel, which will become his thereafter.

After the fall of Darken Rahl, Richard Cypher ordered the destruction of all Agiels, like all the accessories and clothing of Bites-Sith, to release Bites-Siths them suffering. They disobeyed. In fact, they chose to use their knowledge and their aptitudes to protect Richard, the new Rahl lord, and to help it in its search.
