Kannon Zahrem

*"I will protect my home and family even if I have to listen to that voice."*

Kannon is the current guild master of Defiance and will go through questionable lengths to protect his home (Defiance) and his family (Slayers of Defiance) even if it violates the order put in place by the guilds. Many question him as not much is known about him. Many Head Masters of the schools do not follow Kannon and do not acknowledge him as the guild master as he was not given the position. He is considered an outsider to the guild.

## Description

Kannon is a half-elf with medium length messy stark silver hair and has purple eyes. He is the only person within the guild that doesn't where a mask as he refuses to wear one and it clearly powerful enough not to need it. He is relatively young and has an athletic build, however has various arcane scars all over his body due to the various fights he has been in before his time as the guild master. Visually he does not wear any armor however he wears metallic accoutrements that serve as armor. Most notably he wears a pendant with a blue crystal in the center of it that he never takes off.

## Personality

Before he joined Defiance he was a lone wolf and could only trust himself out in the world of Dephiron. He was a cynical nihilist and was very violent and volatile and would lash out at people who attempted to help him. He was also very reckless and what seemed to be self destructive as during a point in time he used to use highly cursed weapons in order to hunt down the Forsaken Gods, Abyss Lords, and Star Signers. However despite all of his negative traits he clearly wants to help and save others as he has defended the Defiance guild saving many lives despite not working for them at the time. Over time he began to be able to trust people and became the self proclaimed Guild Master however some of his methods of protecting others are questionable. Kannon lives more of a peaceful life now as he is more calm and spends his time aiding those he watches over and away from combat.

## Abilities

It is unknown where Kannon ranks in terms of power within the guild as he claims he has "forgotten" his old ways and refuses to talk about his past even abandoning his main weapon an uses it more as a testing tool to verify the recruits. Kannon does in fact possess Slayer Arts however what they are, how many he has, and what they do are not that known as Kannon also keeps that a secret. Each of the head masters have different speculations of his Slayer Arts. Kannon is a skilled black smith though has he spends most of his time making new weapons for himself or for his small group of Slayers that he watches over. He also extremely skilled in combat able to use any weapon his picks up as if he was an expert.

## History

Kannon's history is pretty spotty as he doesn't like to talk about his past experiences. He Presumably roamed the world of Dephiron before him joining with Defiance with his younger Sister Cassandra. As for what people can get from Kannon is that she got involved with a supposed "God" that ended up manipulating the two of them and of course lying to them as this "God" ended up being a Star Signer. As for what happened to his sister is unknown but definitely seems to be the caused for his nihilistic attitude. He supposedly roamed around Dephiron as a lone Slayer for many years until stumbling upon the ruined Defiance Guild hall where he met the previous Guild Master. He claims that the previous guild master has changed him as a person and he tracked down the Abyss lord across the continent until this monster was slain. He presumably finished up some of his remaining work and returned to the guild as the self-proclaimed guild master. Despite not being passed down the positions and that he is an outsider of the guild many of the lower ranked Slayers agreed that he should be the guild master but the Head masters and some of the higher ranked guild master refuse to acknowledge and follow him as Guild Master of Defiance.
