Early Life & Career

Reham Khan started out with a live show for Legal TV. Later began presenting for Sunshine Radio Hereford and Worcester. Was known to have spent time doing military service in her early life. Drafted in as a teenager, she received professional KGB arms and combat training from an early age, and was the youngest ever academy graduate. Was assigned her first mission at 19. At the age of 25, travelled to England although she would later abandon her mission as a sleeper agent after realising she wanted more from life.
