While he is inspecting the cannons he is approached by Bennsyn who attempts to convince him to fight and kill the Quartermaster, Balthazar. He refuses to start trouble. For now. Instead, he tells a story about why he looks the way he does and does not hide the fact that he is responsible for the wastelands in Benki. The chef, Guru Dumu, is not a fan and immediately disowns him. The rest of the crew is fascinated. The Armadillo arrives at Honua port and Kifo joins the land party heading towards the fabled Rewera Keep. On their first night Kifo is startled by a crab but is saved by Sonney. They are then assaulted by a group of ruffians and Kifo sleeps through the fight. The next morning they arrive at the keep and only get into the courtyard before being attacked by Mud Mephits.

==== "The Blunder Hunt" ====
The Armadillo is pursued by the Narwhal. Kifo participates in the surrender with the rest of the crew until An explosion is heard and everyone begins to fight. It seems like a losing battle until heads start exploding on the other team. The attackers retreat and the crew automatically assumes Kifo is responsible since he's cursed. It was not him, but he accepts the burden anyway. The ship docks at Lalolagi to hide out for a bit so Kifo and Balthazar head to a nearby brothel. He inspects the bounty board and finds a group of Sahuagin are terrorizing the town so he takes the bounty and attempts to recruit anyone in the bar to help him. A woman named Krislynn agrees so he send her and Balz to scout the nearby woods while he gathers some of the others from the ship. He gets Tecnic, Sonney, and Bennsyn to join and they catch up to the others.

Sonney shoots Krislynn in anger as Kifo summons all of the magic in him to attempt to bring the others back. He succeeds in waking Balz but he cannot save Tecnic. It was his fault they were out there so he needs to repent. He discovers Krislynn was a member of the Navy while burying her body and Balz takes Tecnic back to the ship with them. When they get back they agree to hunt the Narwhal in Tecnic's name.
==== "A Tale of Two Bennys" ====
After what happened, Kifo comes to terms with the fact that not all animals are enemies and no longer fears Jicho. Though the trust is still iffy. He decides it may be a good idea to return Krislynn's badge to the Naval ship also docked there. Sonney joins him on the walk, just in case things get sour. He boards the ship alone in case Sonney needs to get back up and when he hands the badge over he is immediately arrested. While he is in the brig, Guru Dumu arrives to free him but is also swiftly placed behind bars. The Commodore arrives to free Kifo, claiming he was wrongly arrested but Dumu he will keep for sneaking on and attempting to break the albino out. Kifo attempts to compromise and perhaps pay a fee but the ship is rocked by cannon fire. The ship departs with the Darfellan still on board. Dumu manages to break his restraints and tackle Rexford so Kifo can escape but he doesn't intend to lose someone else so he kills the Commodore and the two get off the ship and swim back to shore. They get back to the ship and are introduced to the fifteen new crew members including the Navigator, Loyal Tragold. They sit in with the other original crew mates to discuss a temporary captain since Balthazar turned down the responsibility. They agree on Bennsyn and then discuss what to do with Tecnic. Kifo mentions a shaman that could potentially resurrect him but it requires numerous items including a very precious diamond. the new Captain agrees it's what they should do. Kifo spends the trip to Toke training his new gunners and finally feeling like he belongs.

The Armadillo arrives at Toke port. Kifo, along with Sonney and two f his gunners, Head over to the munitions dock to lease a few cannons but are interrupted by members on the Wailing Warden. They tell them that the captain would like to speak with Kifo and he agrees to meet with the pirate lord, Black Scalp. The lord is curious as to why a Darfellan is in such a mismatched crew but Kifo defends his allies. Black Scalp then informs him that he will be speaking with the captain and Kifo reluctantly agrees to take him to their ship. Black Scalp is willing to help them gather what they need to resurrect Tecnic but he wants Kifo and Dumu for his crew. Bennsyn declines and they part ways, worried they might have to deal with the repercussions in the near future. They head to Benki and dock at Fotia port, Kifo's hometown. He disguises himself and they head into town for information on the Shaman and Kifo realizes the bartender in none other than his son, Mwana. They get the location and Kifo stays behind to speak with the boy alone. It becomes clear that neither of them were ready for a reunion so Kifo leaves in a rage and heads into the desert to release his anger on his true enemy, the Kaorti tree. The others catch up to him and he attempts to cut the tree down but fails so they head back to the ship to ride the coast towards the Valecny Ruins.
==== "Anchor Down" ====
Kifo is awoken by the screams of Balthazar. He realizes he's been marked by Minyororo and warns Captain Bennsyn that they need to get him off the ship and onto land or risk losing the entire crew. They dock at the nearest port and Kifo joins the land party that is heading into the desert towards the ruins. On their first night at camp, they fight an Allosaurus and Balz is taken by the Seafallen. However, Kifo manages a one-in-a-million task and lifts the anchor left behind by the one they managed to kill and he immediately bonds with the weapon. The unfortunate problem now is that Kifo must choose one of the others to sacrifice for the resurrection since his first choice was Balz. They arrive and Kifo makes the choice of sacrificing Mateus. It is an unfortunate loss but the ritual is successful and they resurrect Tecnic. 
==== "The Unfading" ====

Kifo stays behind for only a moment as Kurudi takes a sample of his blood to perhaps find a cure for him in the future. He thanks the Shaman for his help and catches up to the others. When they arrive back, Tecnic exiles Bennsyn for causing the crew too many issues too quickly. Most of the crew leaves with him but Kifo intimidates a few to stay by killing another one of his gunners, Cod, and warning them that if they leave this crew, they will also die. For his loyalty and major role in his resurrection, Tecnic names Kifo his new Quartermaster and they sail back to Toke. When they arrive, He and Sonney head into town and stumble upon an abandoned tailor. inside is a young boy. They terrify the child and Tecnic arrives to add the boy to the crew since, they need numbers. Kifo gives the boy, named Mikey, his crossbow and they all head to a meeting with the Pirate Lord, Mad Monty. They call him mad for a reason as his only goal in the conversation is to draw a portrait of Kifo. He gives them a second ship for the model. Kifo reluctantly agrees.
==== "That Sinking Feeling" ====
The Armadillo is plundering a small merchant vessel. Kifo fires hell on the ship from the cannons and they are victorious. They recruit the survivors and move on. The following day, they are once again pursued by the Narwhal. They are much more prepared this time and knock easily win, knocking Vulcan into the sea. Kifo goes after him and holds him under until he is unconscious and attempts to drown him completely but Tecnic has him brought back to their ship. They sink the Narwhal and return to Toke, victorious. Kifo heads to the Classy Lassies for a drink and runs into none other than Bennsyn. The two get into a heated argument that leads to a fight. Kifo actually loses the fight but because he is cursed he reawakens and Anchor's down on the Aventi. He loots him but leaves him alive. 
==== "Mimi Hapa Hapa" ====
Kifo gets back to the port and witnesses the execution of Vulcan by the hands of Tecnic. The port is being sieged by The Wailing Warden. Kifo retreats to the Armadillo and gets patched up by Mikey as some of the Black Scalp crew arrive to bring Kifo to the captain. He agrees to go to spare the civilians and his crewmates. He is brought to the Pirate Lord and they discuss his future on the crew before he is put in the brig. He discusses his skin with the guard on duty just to make it uncomfortable for the Darfellan. He spends about a day in the cell before he requests to speak with the captain again. He offers to provide entertainment for the crew by fighting anyone that wants to let out some aggression. He is placed on the deck, still chained up and holds his own, accidently killing his opponent. Fortunately, though unprovoked, he is given the deceased person's role as lookout. He is confused but accepts. When he is brought to his shift by his guard, Yakazi, He doesn't find what he expects in the crow's nest. Instead, he finds Sonney and the other lookout, dead. They quickly come up with a plan to make it appear like he fell and Kifo is immediately summoned to the Captain's Quarters. He convinces Black Scalp that the lookout was drunk and fell trying to swap with him. The Captain then shares with him his rise to Lordship and answers why he wants Kifo's help so bad. He wishes for him to infiltrate the Silence and keep tabs on The Saint. He considers it and returns to his post to discover that Yakazi is actually an undercover Naval sergeant named Quincy Mint. He realizes the irony and he agrees to their plan to keep each other's secrets. Mint sets some ground rules that Kifo and Sonney aren't thrilled about but they go along with it, knowing it will benefit them later. On the horizon, Kifo spots a naval ship approaching. 
==== "PnS" ====
Kifo and Mint witness the Wailing Warden DECIMATE the approaching ship. It gives Kifo some doubts about working with the Sergeant. They discuss what happened and Kifo is aware that Mint isn't completely against the outcome. Kifo then explains the anatomy of a Darfellan, not only to help the man stay incognito, but also to make him incredibly uncomfortable. They are interrupted by another guard who brings Kifo up to the deck where Black Scalp calls him out for the Navy Badge with his gear. Kifo explains that it belonged to a woman that he was unaware was in the Navy until she was already dead. He is sparred because a giant goat appears on the deck unexpectedly and distracts the crew. Kifo is locked back up and the crew begins to assume he is more cursed than he lets on. Once again he is blamed for the supernatural. He finds out later that it was actually Sonney. Kifo and his allies discuss what exactly they are waiting for and Mint asks them to be patient but they refuse and intend to take out Black Scalp directly. Mint warns them not to grovel to him if they fail their plan but lets them try. When they set it in motion, Mint leaves Kifo's cell unlocked and the guards shift. He swiftly incapacitates the guard and heads to the supply deck to retrieve his stuff. His anchor is in the Captain's quarters so he heads that way. When he arrives, he finds Black Scalp wielding it and the two fight. Though he holds his own, he ends up losing the duel and is brought back to his cell. When he wakes back up Black Scalp is there and informs him that they are directly related and that is the only reason Kifo still breathes. He has Yakazi open the cell to let Kifo join them on shore as they arrive at their destination. He almost slips and calls him "Mint" but he catches himself. He is brought up to the deck to see they have arrived at the Black Fort on Or. 
==== "Simian Welcome Committee" ====
Mint pulls Kifo aside and questions his motives for being so careless but Kifo just insults him. The two are suddenly at odds. They confirm that the Navy is completely unaware of where the fortress is which is why Mint was so patient. Kifo is brought into the mountain and finds a gorgeous cavern city. He is led to the shaman hut where he discovers Kurudi Amenkufa is the de facto Shaman for the crew. They discuss his curse and Kurudi points out that the ring on Kifo's hand is an incredibly powerful wish artifact. He does not believe him so Kurudi requests to show him. He stabs and kills Mint before wishing for the ability to resurrect by simply touching someone. He then places his hand on Mint and he wakes back up. Kurudi returns the ring to Kifo but warns him that there are only two wishes left. He uses his first quite quickly. He wishes that all Darfellan on the island considered him a Deity and worship him, Including his great-uncle. He finds Black Scalp at his throne in a fight with Sonney and stops them from killing each other. He offers a counter by having Sonney "exiled" from the island and he gives up the identity on Yakazi. The Sergeant flees and Kifo is given his Anchor back. He returns to Kurudi to have it enchanted and leaves his ring with the shaman for safe keeping.
==== "Loyal to a Fault" ====
Kifo joins the search for Mint. They come up short. The handful that are suspected are not him so the search continues and Kifo is found by Sonney, who is supposed to be on his way off the island. Sonney informs him of an impeding Naval fleet, far too many to fight. Kifo makes sure he hides while he goes to use the last wish to get them away. It does not work and Kurudi confirms someone else must have used the last charge so he rushes to inform Black Scalp. He successfully warns the Pirate Lord and informs him where he got the news. Black Scalp is not thrilled but allows Sonney to help them defend the island. Kifo and Sonney meet back up at the Shaman hut and find Mint. Using his new Earth-Bending Anchor, Kifo traps him underground with a lion and they go to prepare for the assault. The Enemy arrives. 
==== "Battle of the Black Fort" ====
Kifo is embracing his new role as leader of a civilization and leads the defense on the flotilla. Sonney finds him and warns him that Black Scalp attempted to kill him. Kifo is too focused on the battle to worry about it. They are pushed back to the shore so they take the battle to the beach. They meet up with Black Scalp and continue to defend. Sonney attacks Black Scalp mid-battle but Black Scalp counters. This sparks something in Kifo and he knocks Black Scalp out. He grabs Sonney and they head inland. They are chased to Kurudi's tent where they intend to hide in the conclave they trapped Mint in. The Sergeant jumps out and surrenders himself, flashing his badge and calling Sonney an ally. Kifo attempts to escape once again but he is ratted out by Kurudi and is swiftly subdued and arrested.
=== Season 2 ===
==== "Drink to Remember" ====
Kifo has been confined to a special wooden cell. He mentally is over having contact with others and kills anyone placed in the cell with him. The Warden uses that to his advantage and places misbehaving prisoners in there with him. His latest cellmate is Guru Dumu. They discuss why he is there but Kifo does not kill him. They are interrupted by Sonney, decked out in full naval garb. He promises he'll get everyone out, he just needs them all to get along and stay alive. Later, two guards come to retrieve Dumu and claim he "made bail". He accepts that the chef will not return and gets into a conversation with a man a few cells down named Janoo Rood. Their outlooks on the situation are polar opposites and Kifo gets annoyed by his cavalier attitude. He is eventually summoned to the main courtyard to be the next contender in the Warden's fight club. His opponents are Loyal Tragold and Bennsyn.
==== "Fear the Reaper" ====
Kifo participates in a dance battle against Loyal and Bennsyn. it is revealed to just be a thought in the Warden's head. The actual fight is much bloodier. Loyal and Bennsyn agree to work together to fight Kifo since he is much more dangerous. He proves them right when he rips Loyal's heart out of his chest and then takes the man's skull beat Bennsyn into the ground. He doesn't believe killing his body is enough though and using a new power he obtained from consistent contact with the Anchor/gauntlet, he absorbs Bennsyn's soul. He is left in the arena, away from the prisoners and guards. As the courtyard clears out, Kifo rests against the bars of his new secluded cell, finally alone. However, it collapses all around him and he is free. 
==== "RIOT" ====
Kifo immediately barrel rolls out of the cage and sinks into the sand. He arrives in the Armory where he begins to send weapons down into the cells below with his earth-bending abilities. He reunites with Sonney and Gregory who help most of the prisoners escape while he heads back down with some of his men to take out the remaining guards in the underground. He runs into Warden Burrows who requests to join his cause. Kifo agrees, though he is skeptical. They run into the Admiral transporting the Pirate Lords. He and Cockrell make a trade of Burrows for Tecnic. He has his captain given to a random Darfellan and he allows The Admiral to leave with Burrows and the other Lords as he continues his Riot. He makes it out and onto the beach where he sees his son, Mwana, running towards him. Before they can do anything, Mwana is hit with a cannonball from the nearby Coral. 
==== "Admiral's Bane" ====
Kifo gets to his barely conscious son who briefly mentions that "someone" needs to know he loves them before Mwana passes out. Mikey appears with a Sahuagin. Kifo prepares to kill him but they know they need to get out of there ASAP so he grabs Mwana and they head back to the Daronna Rose. Kifo assumes the person Mwana wanted his trinket given to was Rika, but he finds out it was actually the Sahuagin, Sahge. It's uncomfortable but he accepts it. Sonney arrives and reveals that he killed the Admiral. This makes Mint the new Admiral and they now have numerous tasks to complete. Kifo and Sonney wish to save the Lords, including Tecnic who was recaptured but the rest of the pirates wish to retrieve the other ship at Fort Gaer so they agree to gather the ships before saving the Lords. On the trip south, Kifo has a heart-to-heart with Sahge about Mwana and learns how quickly they grew feelings. He gives his blessing and goes to check on his son. He finds Rika and Sonney also in the med-bay and asks the woman why she is so faithful to Mikey. She admits to them that she is researching something and Mikey is the key. The boy in question joins them and they all catch up. When they arrive at Diqiu port, Kifo joins the land party that sneaks into the Fort. They all disguise themselves in Naval Garb and use Sahge as a fake "prisoner" to bring to Mint.
==== "Into the Inferno" ====
Kifo and the others arrive at Mint's office. Mint has already been informed about the Traitor, Sonney, who runs and Kifo attempts to trade him for three ships. Rood counters by offering to trade all four of them for just his ship, The Marvelous Macaw. Kifo counters yet again and offers the Pirate Lord for The Armadillo. Mint plans to take them all but gives them a chance to run. Kifo traps Rood and transports through the wall, heading to the armory. He has a bit of trouble finding it but discovers Lieutenant Nigel and terrifies him into giving him the location before knocking him back out and moving on. He arrives and decides the best plan is the most dangerous. He lights the gunpowder ration and lets it detonate, causing a fort-wide fire. He meets up with the others at the Armadillo and they hide out inside. It is remarkably hot and Mikey needs medical attention so they all decide to risk it and attempt to escape the burning dry-dock and head back to the Daronna Rose. From there, Kifo takes command and plans out the rescue of the Pirate Lords.
==== "Kuja, Kifo Tamu" ====
Kifo leads a party to save the Pirate Lords consisting of Sonney, Sahge, and the recovered Mwana. He informs his son that he is okay with his secret marriage to Sahge. Mwana thanks him and as they are traveling in a stolen Navy carriage, they are attacked by a group of other escapees from the prison, led by former crewmate Vic Hawklight. He is pissed they left him in the prison but they slaughter his men and Kifo absorbs his soul for the trouble. The others are terrified but he assures them that he is not a danger to them. They arrive in the big city and all find places to oversee the execution. Kifo ends up in a mannequin shop and hides as one. He witnesses a gentleman serenade them in the dark before leaving to watch the execution. He vows to never speak about this again and goes to the crowd. He watches the Pirate Lords get lined up on the stage and the firing squad arrive. Kifo causes a commotion in the crowd but it appears to be too late. He gets to the stage as Black Scalp is barely conscious. He hands Kifo his piece of Eight and takes the brunt of the second round of bullets so they can get the others away. Kifo absorbs his soul and grabs Mwana before they retreat, only able to save Tecnic.
==== "We're All Dicks Here" ====
Kifo and the others arrive back at the Daronna Rose and they depart immediately, not allowing the Navy a chance to catch up. He inspects the coin he received from Black Scalp. It is inscribed with an VIII so he and Sonney begin to speculate who could have the other two coins. They decide it isn't that important right now and go to rest. While in his meditation, Kifo attempts to speak with the Souls in his head and finds Black Scalp. He asks about the "inheritance" but doesn't get a straight answer. He puzzles together that the treasure is most likely on Gangkou. He is disturbed by an argument between Tecnic and Sahge. The crew all side with Sahge due to Tecnic's outburst on Sonney about the Navy but Kifo calms everyone down and brings Tecnic to the Captain's Quarters to let everyone calm down. Kifo attempts to reason with Tecnic and informs him that he is now a Pirate Lord. Tecnic congratulates him and they consider celebrating before Sonney interrupts and they get into another argument. Kifo has to yet again calm down the room. He demands they get along and request they head to Gangkou to obtain his new fortune. He also wants to confront Sirene about abandoning them and Tecnic shows him a nifty trick where he can contact the other lords through the Coin. Tecnic calls Sirene and informs Kifo that most of his men are on Etoile so they need to make a pitstop there. He informs the crew of the plan, leaving the other two to continue their argument alone. He quickly realizes the majority of the crew wishes to leave Tecnic behind so Kifo comes up with a plan but in the meantime he returns to Tecnic to have a "pirate day" and they go plunder the first ship they find. They find a feather ship and make quick work of it. Kifo interrogates the sole survivor, a man named Thomas, and figures out they could turn a major profit on the feathers so He and a few others get on the ship and sail to the nearest port.
==== "What's Your Color" ====
Kifo sends Sonney and Mikey into the town to sell the Feathers. When Sonney returns and tell him that Mikey has been taken by a man named Charlee, Thomas warns them that they need to save their friend. The three of them go to speak with the Tailor. Kifo and Charlee argue over who stole the feathers from who and Kifo plans to make another trade but they fall through. They lose the profit but they don't lose any people so they decide to move on towards Etoile. He contacts Sirene about picking up his men and the Quessari apologizes for abandoning them, claiming the new VII Lord offered to handle the defense for them instead and he needed to get his people home. Kifo understands and gets to the island. They take 100 men with them to Gangkou and will retrieve the rest once they have a bigger ship. When they arrive, Kifo splits them into 5 groups and leads his through the front of the mountain. He discovers it is a dormant volcano and they reach the center to discover a ship floating in the magma. He builds a raft out of molten rock and sails towards it. However, this causes a seismic shift and once they get to the Ship, the volcano erupts. 
==== "For Whom the Bell Tolls" ====
Kifo and the others land in the sea off the coast of Gangkou. He now has a ship of his own, the Makaburi. They get out of range of the volcano and regroup with the feather ship. Kifo sends Mwana and Sahge on the ship back to Benki so there isn't any unwanted tension when they meet back up with Tecnic to retrieve the Armadillo. He then takes the others to inspect the new ship. They discover an unusual amount of cobwebs below deck and are blindsided by a nest of Chuuls. They lose practically all their men but they have enough to continue sailing so they head towards Etoile to gather the rest of the Darfellan. Kifo absorbs the soul of the largest Chuul and meditates to speak with Black Scalp again about the creature. Black Scalp remains cryptic so he gives up and when he come to, he discovers Mikey has paralyzed himself and the rest of the crew had no idea so he stabilizes the boy and warns the others not to touch any of the blood from the bugs. They arrive at Etoile and Kifo starts handing out jobs to his crew including naming a quartermaster. He selects an older Gentleman who kept the peace named Watu Robo. They head on back to meet up with Tecnic. Kifo attempts to call him with his coin however, he does not get a response. Things get more complicated when they find the Daronna Rose dead in the water with no signs of struggle or life. He calls Tecnic again but still gets no answer. He then calls Sirene to see if he's heard anything but also comes up short. He decides to continue to the Armadillo anyway and they stumble upon Rika's notes when they get there. Kifo and Sonney dig through them and determine Tecnic was summoned by The Saint and that is why he hasn't responded. They also discover Rika's theory about Mikey's heritage but they decide to ignore it for now. They get the ship back on the water and Kifo places Mikey temporarily in charge of the Armadillo as they sail the small fleet to Dhulka. 
==== "Crocodile Tears" ====
Kifo finally lets it sink in that he is a Pirate Lord. He calls a meeting and decides he wants to once again take a stab at Rewera Keep. They dock and head inland. While on the way, Kifo comes across a Succubus. Mikey falls for her but he doesn't allow him to be sirened and kills it before it can take the boy. When they get to the keep they run into Tecnic and the rest of his crew. They team up and head inside. Kifo swiftly kills a Manticore before they keep moving on and get into a fight with a Banshee. They also manage to kill it, taking many casualties but they move on yet again, not quite down. While on the next floor, Kifo and Tecnic get confirmation that a meeting of the Lords is happening. Kifo kills the Giant Crocodile and they all leave for the meeting. They arrive at Council Island and head inside. Kifo takes Watu and a disguised Sonney as his liaisons. He sits in the VIII spot and is introduced to the remaining Lords including The Saint, Nimora, Ape King, and the real Fancy Anansi. It is tense as they await the final lord to appear. When he does it is revealed to be none other than Warden Jack Burrows. 
==== "Homefield Disadvantage" ====
Kifo and Tecnic are less than thrilled to be working with Burrows but they tolerate it on The Saint's wishes. The Pirate Lords discuss their plan to retake Ora Tatou from the Navy and reestablish their rule. Kifo joins the group attacking from the bay. It is heavily in favor of the Navy and as Kifo and Sonney get to shore, the Makaburi is bombarded and sunk. Kifo spots Mint on the beach and chases him into town. He subdues the Admiral and summons the other Lords to discuss what to do. They come to a compromise that give the Pirates free reign of the sea as long as they are accompanied by a naval officer and the four men that destroyed Fort Gaer are separated to different islands. That includes Kifo who reluctantly agrees. They are interrupted by Sonney who appears and holds a gun to Mint's head but he is thrown out into the street by Ape King and the two fight. Kifo breaks it up and Okubi warns him that if he sees the man again he will not hesitate to kill him and anyone protecting him. Kifo understands. He makes one final trade with Mint for his ship, The Coral, before saying goodbye to his friends and sailing off to Benki.

He takes a break and returns to Fotia and immediately recognizes the victim as his son, Mwana. He calls a town meeting and accuses the civilians of murdering his son. He demands they find a Sahuagin that is convinced is nearby and to bring him to him or he will begin executing people in the street. They comply and begin the search for Sahge. During it all, the Sun goes out so Kifo sends a group of men to Vrock Mountain to figure out what happened. When they return, They have Sahge and two others. They are all children of Mad Monty. He is convinced they are responsible for Mwana's death but they have a credible alibi. He imprisons them anyway. Satisfied he found the culprits, he returns to the tree to find a trench dug around it and inside is the Seafallen Balthazar. He takes a root as his anchor and allows Kifo to finally slash the tree, chopping it down. He actively accepts his mark of Minyororo and promises to see him again soon.

He agrees and they take Burrows' two latest recruits with them. While on the road, Burrows asks Kifo about when he got marked by Cadenes and he tells his story. They camp for the night and are attacked by a group of ruffians but swiftly take care of them. Kifo absorbs the souls of the men and enters meditation to find out why they attacked them.

Kifo goes to find the body of Mint who he places his hand on and has him send a message to the Chain Devil that he is getting impatient. 
==== "Dexccept, Dexciet, Dextruction" ====
The Kygrjoda is heading towards Bhumi when Kifo warns Burrows that they should not be on open water on account of the "condition" he has. He then goes down to steal some treasure for all his trouble and is joined by the new quarter master, Liza. Once they get to the treasure room, Kifo immediately determines all of the gold is fake. He decides to let Liza worry about that. They arrive at Dhulka and head inland once again towards Rewera Keep. Once they arrive, Kifo stresses to the men that this is an incredibly dangerous place and they need to follow his exact path. They get to the sixth floor and are assaulted by a Wyvern. They defeat it and move on to the next floor where they are locked in battle with a massive Hydra. They are only able to defeat it once reinforcements arrive thanks to Liza.
==== "Come Together" ====
Kifo and Burrows are recovering from their fight with the Hydra. Kifo is not convinced they will be able to make it completely through the Keep so he gathers up as much voodoo as he can to send them hundreds of feet up to an empty room with a single desk in the center. He reads the letter on it and is immediately frozen in place. He hears the voice of Tyson "The Saint" Ibis and forces himself out of the ice as Burrows is put to sleep. He negotiates with the Saint rather than fight him and is allowed to leave with Burrows in tow. He leaves the man outside of the keep and hears a familiar ringing. He gets onto his ethereal horse and follows the sound into open water. 
==== "Welcome to the Jungle" ====
Kifo is chasing after his former ship, the Makaburi, which has been commandeered by the Seafallen Balthazar Koegel. They get into the Storm and Kifo quickly realizes he cannot survive the hurricane so he retreats and contacts the other remaining Pirate Lords. Only Tecnic replies that the Armadillo is nearby and going to dock at Abasho'Kobezi to wait out the storm. He finds them and boards, joining them.
==== "Release" ====
As the Armadillo is arriving at Abasho'Kobezi, Kifo realizes the danger he is putting everyone in and elects to go after Balthazar alone. He says goodbye to his former crew and departs towards his target. While on the way he receives a call from the latest Pirate Lord, Sonney, who recently inherited his coin from the Ape King. He warns Kifo that he can't do this alone and that he and Tecnic are coming to help. He thanks them and they meet up at Booker Dread's Cove where they find the Makaburi and the Kraken. They appear to be losing heavily as Burrows also arrives to help and Kifo knows a sacrifice must be made. Sonney won't let him be the hero however and gets to him in the open water, using his Talisman to attempt to destroy the monster. It fails however and the two of them are swallowed by the Kraken, taken to the Chain Room.
=== Season 4 ===
==== "The Gods' Sea" ====

He give Mikey a magical paddle and sends the Gnash boy back up to the Swell while he and his army of seafallen deal with the ramifications below. He takes a chance and joins Mikey, Dex, and Sahge in the fight against Empyrean Burrows, dealing substantial damage in one move before sitting back and over seeing the final moments play out.

== Relationships ==
=== Tecnic ===
Kifo has major respect for Tecnic. He was the man who gave him a chance and took him into his crew when everyone else in his life abandoned him. the two went on many adventures together and were never at odds with each other. Once he became Chain Devil, He returned Tecnic to his human form in the afterlife and made him a major player in his seafallen army.
=== Sonney ===
Kifo and Sonney got along very well. It could be argued that they were best friends and helped each other through the toughest of times. They sacrificed themselves together to save the others from the Kraken. Kifo allowed Sonney to return to the surface when he went for the Throne of the underworld. 
=== Balthazar ===
Originally, Kifo had no problems with Balthazar, even resurrecting him when he was killed by Sahuagin. It wasn't until Balz returned as a Seafallen that they were at odds. They traded blows and it eventually led to Kifo eliminating him, completely ceasing him from existence. 
=== Bennsyn ===
Kifo didn't always have issues with Bennsyn. He even voted for him to become Captain with the untimely death of Tecnic. However, once the Captain was resurrected and Bennsyn was Exiled, their friendship dwindled. They ended up fighting numerous times and when they were forced into a fight to the death in prison, Kifo came up on top and actually absorbed Bennsyn's soul. They apparently made amends in the Chain Room at some point. 
=== Vulcan ===
Kifo only knew Vulcan as an enemy to his crew. He drowned the man for Tecnic and witnessed his execution first-hand.
=== Mikey ===
Kifo initially thought Mikey was nothing more than a nuisance. It wasn't until he found out his bloodline that he started to rationalize the boy's behavior. He made sure Mikey returned to the surface after he was prematurely murdered by Jack Burrows and helped him discover what was in the enter of The Swell.
=== Mint ===
Kifo never trusted Mint. He was in the Navy. Navy bad. He tried numerous times to kill him but never truly got the final blow. 
=== Mwana ===
Kifo loved his eldest child despite being disowned by him. He supported all of his choices, including his marriage to Sahge. When he discovered that his son was killed, he did not stop until the alleged perpetrator was caught and dealt with.
=== Sahge ===
Kifo was as expected, a bit skeptical of Sahge. He warmed up to him when he discovered he was getting married to his son, Mwana. When Mwana was killed, He accused Sahge and had him arrested. He never fully forgave him even though he was proven innocent but he did accept him for his sacrifice against Empyrean Burrows. 
=== Burrows ===
Kifo was never fully sure how to feel about Burrows. He started off as an enemy when he was the Warden of the prison. They then formed a temporary alliance when he was a Pirate Lord. Their friendship truly blossomed when he was actually a Pirate Hunter but then ended on sour terms once he became an Empyrean and risked the entire world. Kifo helped in the final fight against him, briefly. 
=== Dex ===
Kifo had very little interactions with Dex. He really only knew him as one of Sonney's riggers. 
=== Liza ===
Kifo did not care for Liza. She was a member of Burrows crew and a Sahuagin. He ended up giving her a job as a body sweeper once he became the Chain Devil.
=== Chiens ===
Kifo barely knew Chiens. He knew her connection to Mikey and Sirene but couldn't comprehend her celestial heritage.
=== Dread ===
Kifo led an army of Seafallen against Booker Dread in the underworld. Otherwise, they never crossed paths.
