## History

### Early Life

Kaeil is a local of Felbrook, he has lived his entire life in the town, but mentions having family in the Barrows. He was childhood friends with Delvin, before he got banished to the Barrows. He is the owner of his inn.

### Campaign

Kaeil was introduced in Chapter 3 as one of the innkeepers in Felbrook. Upon Delvin speaking to him, we learn that Kaeil perhaps doesn't agree with the king and seems to dislike the guard's actions of pushing people into the Barrows. When first interacting with Delvin, he doesn't seem to recognise him. Despite this, when Delvin initially introduces himself as Pemble- there seems to be a faint recognition of that name.

In ch 4 Katalina notices Kaeil looking a bit distraught outside of his inn and decides to approach him. After a short chat Delvin pays for the party to lodge at his inn for the night along with plenty of extra coin for food and drinks. During this time, Katalina calls Delvin by his name which causes Kaeil to immediately recognise him from their childhoods. Kaeil immediately brings Delvin into and embrace and has a short bit of catch-up prior to returning to his duties.

Later in ch 4, Katalina approaches Kaeil to ask about the local fortune teller. He informs her that Elspeth is his aunt and is seemingly very worried about her. Upon reading his emotions, Katalina learns that he is very distressed due to hearing the things the townsfolk have said about her and the fact that her livelihood will likely be ruined one way or another by the Guard. Katalina then shifts his emotion to trust her a bit and he gives her directions to his Aunt's house in order for Katalina to check in on her.

In ch 5 Kaeil is seen as the primary bartender for that night, bringing the party mugs of ale upon their arrival. He seems to be generally joyful, laughing playfully when Madaela spits out the ale after tasting it. He takes a brief moment to quietly talk to Katalina, checking in on how Elspeth was doing before going to get a bottle of red wine for Katalina. By the end of the night, Kaeil apologizes to Brick for the behaviour of McCouar and thanks him for helping to keep things light. He then shakes Brick's hand and hints towards Brick that he may need to feign loyalty to the king as the party moves closer to Ironspire.

The next morning, Kaeil stumbles into Katalina after she brings Marcus into his inn. Upon asking what's going on, his sister informs him that Elspeth has been murdered. She describes that Elspeth was found with a Gray Guard's dagger in her chest. This clearly angers Kaeil who lifts Marcus from his seat and demands to be taken to Elspeth's house- slapping him before throwing him to walk in front of the group who had gathered.
