Kael Fleming

## Biography

Kael lives in the Sampson trailer park with his sister Teresa. Both of them work at the Deepriver Dump, which was passed down to them by their parents.

He was arrested for the arson of the Hart Estate, along with Tegan Russell and Jimmy Decker.

He has a prior record with the Wheldrake police department, including loitering, trespassing, and possession. There was a particular incident in which he flipped off a police car, and while no charges were filed, he was taken into custody for a bit.

## Personality

Kael seems reluctant to open up to others, and comes off as rather anxious and unsure. He can snap easily when he feels threatened, though he is kind to those who treat him well.

## Relationships

### Teresa Fleming

Kael's sister and fellow Deepriver Dump employee. They seem to have a good relationship.

### Davey Addams

They attended school together, though Kael is a few years older than Davey. He expressed concern about Davey's disappearance, and seemed to know details about how his family was reacting to it, indicating that they are at least well-acquainted.

### Tegan Russell and Jimmy Decker

Together, they committed the arson on the Hart Estate. They all three claimed to be blackmailed by the group in the woods, and are being defended by James Fonseca.

### The Vigil

* Nigel Giocondo-Jones

Nigel caught Kael in the act of pickpocketing. After pickpocketing the pickpocket, Nigel attempted to get information out of the difficult Kael, who finally relented by giving Nigel his contact information. (But not before making fun of Nigel's name).

### Rats at Deepriver Dump

* Anthony Blum
* Cameron Lamb
* Jacob Hunter

Cameron, Tony, and Jake decided to visit the dump, in order to try the drugs Gene sold to the Clew. Upon arrival, they managed to (somewhat) charm Teresa Fleming, the owner. In the dump itself, they found a tuck box in a pile of trash, evidently belonging to Kael Fleming, who ripped it out of their hands They attempted to trade the box for Gene's drugs (allegedly cocaine), but Kael told them that it was merely filled with family heirlooms. However, he still allowed them to look at the contents. Within the box were birth, death, and marriage certificates, photos, and a few other assorted documents, including a written agreement between Marvin Fleming, Kael's late grandfather and the man who tried to buy the Deepriver Digger's house, and Harrison H. Hale, H. H. Hart's alias. It seemed to be for the sale of a patch of Red Rue, from Fleming to Hale. Kael mentioned that the Red Rue patch, which he described as a "rip off," was fraudulently sold, and that Hart somehow became rich off of it. He also mentioned that it burnt down in the Deepriver Forest Fire of 2006. Then, all three rats snorted the "cocaine." Jake felt a little sick but recovered, Tony didn't feel much, and Cam was convinced he felt the effect via the placebo effect. However, they mentioned these are Gene's drugs, and Kael refused to use them, insisting that Gene is known for selling fake drugs. Kael then disclosed that he went to school with Davey Addams, and that Davey had been missing for over a week. After some interesting rolls, Jake successfully flirted with Kael, and Kael tried to attack Tony twice; once he is unsuccessful, the second he managed to kick him in the nuts. Before leaving, Kael gave Jake his phone number.

### Deepriver Dump, pt. 2

* Adrianna Deveaux
* Jacob Hunter
* Michael "Skip" Mun

These three decided to visit the dump, each for a different reason: Adrianna to ask Teresa Fleming about the dump's finances, Jacob to flirt with **Kael Fleming**, and Skip to (hopefully) find Gene Carney and give him a homemade loaf of sourdough bread. Upon arriving at the dump, Jake ran into Skip and Adrianna. After a brief chat with Kael, they found Gene sleeping in an old car. During a conversation regarding Sam Duncan, Gene fully admitted to making up stories about The Hochne so that Sam would keep taking him out to lunch. He seemed to recognize that it was wrong, and has been carrying the guilt about it since Sam's death. Gene also noted the presence of helicopters in the forest, which started after the Deepriver Forest fire of '06. He was also very aware of the hallucinogenic gas. Also, the video of The Hochne currently in the possession of Sean Guthrie is actually a home movie created by Gene and his estranged childhood friend, Jamie Fonseca.

Returning back to Kael: he stated that Davey Addams had been missing for a long time, basically since the Vigil. Also, he said that Davey has a dad named Dave and a little sister named Marcy. He also vaguely recognized the flower symbols from the tunnels under the school.

Then, they visited Teresa Fleming, the owner of the dump and Kael's older sister. They asked her about the business; it's been in the family since 1953, essentially the only asset of their sketchy grandfather, Marvin Fleming, that they still have. Adrianna found out that the dump doesn't make a whole lot of money; just enough to keep the siblings alive and in their trailer. The subsidies from the town have also been dwindling significantly. Grandpa Fleming conned his way into selling various pieces of property, including the Red Rue patch, with City Hall essentially being pay for play at that time, and also now. All Teresa seemed to know is her grandpa made an old-timey killing off that flower patch.
