== Family ==
Jared has a Mother, Father, Grandfather, Uncle, Sister and two Aunts, having one of the biggest families out of all "Miracula Luxia" characters overall so far.
== Personality ==
Jared is a young man with promising abilities who had the traits of a traits of a true hero ever since he was a child.
He is a loving, caring and brave person who will do anything to keep everyone safe from the evil and will eagerly vanquish its servants, should they treaten the safety of those people.
Jared starts off the "Miracula Luxia" series as a brave, but quite insecure (and slightly misunderstood) young man who has the promising qualities of a hero which he improves as the series go on, when he meets new people and helps them out.
As the years go by, Jared's personality slowly mends into the state that it currently is in the present.
Jared's primary focus is to protect his family and friends from harm, but that doesn't mean that he will hesitate to help a person in need who is not from his family. Quite the opposite, he will gladly help them out.
Although very brave and ready to protect people in need, Jared may also be careless, often risking his own safety to provide the safety of another person, which may result in him getting hurt badly. However, he doesn't let this drag him down and uses it as a motivational factor to move on and fight harder than he ever has before.
Jared is emotionally strong and often sacrifices his own emotions (like feeling sadness, pain and desperation) in order to become a stronger person, knowing that an emotionally weak person will be easily dragged down by those who are stronger than him.
Even though he is emotionally strong, this doesn't mean that Jared is not prone to emotions. Sometimes, he can feel fear of losing a person close to him (if the person gets injured or disappears). He can also feel sadness and depression which may force his mind into a state of total neglect of everything around him from time to time (this is most often seen when a member of Jared's family dies, such as Jason and Seiko)
Fortunately, although this state of depression makes Jared unable to do anything efficiently, it also passes by quickly, due to Jared's emotionally strong personality and the knowledge that he still has people to protect.
Although he's already had to suffer the deaths of two of the most important people in his life, Jared takes this as a lesson that life tries to teach him and vows to become stronger and not fall victim of his own emotions- something that shows the readers that he is indeed the emotionally strong person that his family claims him to be.
Jared is also fiercely loyal to every good person around him, not wanting to risk their lives if it can be avoided and is ready to risk his own life, if it means that he will save the life of someone else. 
Overall, not counting the moments when he has to witness the death of a loved one, Jared is a strong and capable survivor, both emotionally and physically who is able to easily make his own decisions without being influenced by anyone else (which often lead to positive results) and be the leading figure of a large group of survivors at the same time. 
He is seen as a true hero by most people around him (including some of the villainous characters) and is greatly respected by many people around the world as the young man who saved countless lives without even thinking twice whether he should risk his life for them or not, the sovereign of light who brings joy and hope to the people around him, no matter how dark and desperate the world around him is.
== Appearance ==
(In almost all of his appearances in the different Chapters of "Miracula Luxia", Jared is shown as a young man with an average build and pale skin, although his skin tone may change in some of the Chapters)
Jared's overall appearance includes long, black hair, as well as bluebell-colored eyes (which later change to sea-colored).
Jared has long, slightly spiky black hair. He wears a white shirt, a white and green scarf and a pair of blue gloves with red, a part of which is red.
He also wears a pair of blue and red pants and a pair of white and blue shoes.
Unlike most characters who have slightly darker skin tones than his, Jared has significantly pale skin ever since he was born. However, this doesn't give him any kind of disadvantage in battle - even better, it gives him a slight advantage when it comes to taking Cold damage, the damage is lowered by a slight percentage which increases as the series of "Miracula Luxia" goes further.
As promised, his appearance changes in Chapter 2 when he becomes a temporary resident of Duskwood as well as a Junior Priest.
Before the end of Chapter 3, he had very long black hair with a bang covering his right eye and he weared the traditional clothes of a Male Priest- white and red jerkin with a white shirt underneath as well as a pair of white and red shorts and white and red footwear.
At the end of Chapter 3, his clothes change once again when he becomes a resident of Avernum. His skin becomes much paler- a notable feature in every person that stays in Avernum for a while. He also wears the traditional clothes of a Swordmage- White Studded Armor and Pants and White Leather Boots.
Chapter 7 introduces a 17 year-old Jared in a brand new outfit. This time it is much more different than the other ones. This is a traditional outfit to any Avernite scout- A blue vest, with a shirt of personal choice underneath (Jared's being a green and white one), brown pants with a yellow belt, as well as a pair of blue boots.
Jared's weapon choice is now a longsword, which is used along with a shield- a compatible set for a scout.
He also wears a Pearl Necklace- A special Necklace which was given to him by his Aunt when he was a child.
Another interesting item which Jared wears are the goggles of his late uncle Jason Kaos that remind him who he really is and who and what he is fighting for.
Jared's final attire is that of "The Brave Wanderer"- a white journeyman's coat with a green shirt underneath, long, green boots, as well as a pair of teal gloves and light blue pants with a dark brown belt.

^The "Hope Necklace" 's stats will change as Jared's equipment changes. They may gain different elemental strengths, weaknesses and maybe even increases to main stats (Like Intelligence or Dexterity)
== Overall Physical Stats ==
Jared is a fighter in all of the "Miracula Luxia" stories. His stats are listed below:
Main Stats 	Without Item/Potion Bonuses	Bonuses from Items/Permanent Potions	Total
Strength 	100 	120 	
Dexterity 	150 	200 	
Intelligence	150 	250 	
Endurance 	100 	60 	
^The original Dexterity bonus is +50 from Armor/Trinkets and the +20 is added from one of his traits. Same for Accuracy.
Additional Stats	Without Item/Potion Bonuses	Bonuses from Items/Permanent Potions	Total
Attack 	80 	100 	
Defense 	100 	220 	
Evade 	90 	120 	
Accuracy 	100 	200 	
Speed* 	85 	105 	
Without Bonuses	Bonuses	With Bonuses
Level 	50 	
50 	 	
Health 	3000 	5000
Mana 	4000 	10000
*Do not mistake Speed and Evade. Speed gives the character faster movement and bigger maximum top speed that he/she can reach and Evade will just give a slightly bigger chance to evade enemy attacks for each point that is invested in it.
Although he has good Additional Stats, Jared has lower Defense than most characters and relies mostly on the armor he wears to protect him. This proves to be very dangerous when it comes to bigger battles, especially if they include stronger foes.
However, in Chapter 2, Episode 4 after the 1-year timeskip his boots offer him a huge Defense boost worth of 10 points which makes him much better than before.
Now his stats are much better than before, making him the current best character in terms of all stats for now.
== Resistances ==
Element 	Resistance (%)
Fire 	150% (100% + 50%)
Ice (Cold)	130% (50% + 80%)
Thunder 	100%
Light 	220%
Dark 	120%
Earth 	80%

== Trivia ==
* Jared is the only character who appears in every "Miracula Luxia" series, either as an infant or as a child/teenager.
** An interesting fact to note is that he is also the Protagonist of most of those series.
* Jared is the first (and, so far only) person in "Miracula Luxia" who survives a bite from an undead and quickly recovers from it afterwards.
** This is possibly due to the fact that his body has excellent regenerative abilities, not allowing the infection to reach any further and completely cleansing it after a certain amount of time.
* Jared is one of the two people in the whole series who owns a blade of pure energy, the other person being his best friend, John.
** However, unlike John's blade (which was blessed by the gods themselves), Jared's blade was blessed by John who is able to cast the enchantment, as long as he owns the blade.
* Jared's most favorite element is Light.
* Jared hates the element of Darkness with a passion and is eager to destroy all the dark creatures that are spawned by it.
* Jared's most favorite color is white, while his least favorite is black.
* Jared is one of the few characters in AleksProdzBG's series overall that doesn't have any elemental weaknesses.
* Jared is one of the five members of the Kaos family (The other being his Father- Aleks, his Mother- Seiko, his Uncle- Jason, his Grandfather- Lethal and his sister- Marinette) who are introduced in "Miracula Luxia".
* "Dream" reveals that Jared loves to practice in a Dojo with a samurai sword and has been doing so for a few years. Its name is currently unknown, but it's most likely located in his hometown- Paris.
* In "Your Journey Has Begun" it is shown that Jared shows somewhat great fear of the black book, not just because of its appearance, hinting that he may fear (or even hate) the dark powers in general.
* Jared is one of the few people who were in Fort Duvno at its time of destruction and made it out alive, the other being his father, Commander Jones and 8 of his soldiers.
* The Hope Necklace is one of the two pieces of equipment (In this case, a Necklace) which Jared keeps throughout the series. It is a special item, given to him by his father (at his aunt's request, as it was originally her necklace) while he was in a coma (Before the events of Chapter 7- "A New Beginning").
* After his uncle and his mother's deaths, Jared becomes one of the four members of the Kaos family who are confirmed to be still alive.
**The other ones are his grandfather, his father and his sister.
*It is hinted that Jared may have a much more important role in the future, but this has yet to be seen.
*So far, "Winning And Losing" is the only Part in the "Miracula Luxia" series overall when Jared's status is left "Unknown" instead of "Alive", as it has always been. Until now, in every story and its Parts his status has always been "Alive"- the longest timespan out of all main characters.
**This continues until the next Part when he regains his "Alive" status once again.
