Yaden Quetzal

Yaden Quetzal is a human noble of House Quetzal, one of the most popular Lotus Knights and a strong visceral psion.

Yaden is relatively short and of lithe build. He has lighty tanned skin, brown eyes and brown hair, which he usually wears in a bundle of fine dreadlocks. 
His iconic Lotus Knight outfit consists of brown leather pants, a short-sleeved green woolen vest and leather bracers. As he needs to be in contact with the ground to use most of his powers, he is always barefooted.

*In 2263 ET, Vivaine bought the slave Darios as Yaden's pet, though he serves mostly as his nanny and confidante. Darios is widely credited with figuring out Yaden's condition as a visceral psion and laying the groundwork for all others discovered since then.
