Kairos

## Appearance

Kairos is a human male, coming in at around 6’1 and weighing 149 pounds. He has coppery skin and a panther-like build, big yet stealthy. His black hair is wild and uncombed, though he occasionally cuts it. He covers half of his face with a mask, for reasons he has not disclosed. He can typically be found in two attires; a tunic with many straps, or a robe with a sling. He has brown eyes and somewhat bushy eyebrows. His age appears to be relatively young, at around 16 or 17 upon his arrival to Drevhall.

## Backstory

**(Note: The following information is only known to a select few. It is not public information in character)**

Kairos hails from a nation he knows as Amaratia. He operated in a city called The Lotus under the banner of an organization of assassins and thieves known as the Order of the Hidden One. Stolen from his parents at a young age, the child was forced into a life of theft and pain, being mentored alongside a friend who would later become his partner on the fated day. He would go through this life mentally and physically scarred, yet it was not the worst of the torture that would befall him. One fateful day, a man simply known as The Whisperer called Kairos and his partner up to him. He had another job for them but informed them that the stakes would be much higher this time. Failure would mean death, as they were to steal an artifact that was apparently of mass importance from the heart of The Lotus. The artifact was in the hands of a powerful family of nobles known as the Fieros. The plan went mostly well; until they got to the artifact. His partner was the first to notice something was wrong, struggling to enter the vault where the artifact was held. Kairos felt it too but did not heed the warning. As he gripped the artifact, he noticed it was reminiscent of a human skull. He met its eyes, and they started glowing a sea green. Driven by some insane impulse, he put the skull on his head. His eyes were seemingly flooded by seawater, and for minutes, Kairos felt his body falling. As soon as the sensation stopped, he found himself in a strange cave, without the artifact, in a completely different world.

## Psyche

Kairos's psyche is marked by a dichotomy of emotions. He is a man of few words, often shrouding his inner turmoil behind a stoic facade. To many, he may appear detached and emotionless, but beneath the surface, a tempest of conflicting feelings rages within him. His silence is a shield, protecting his vulnerability from the prying eyes of the world. He has been known to occasionally crack a smile, but it is not a regular occurrence. He cares deeply for his partner and is aware of the consequences of a failed mission. Assuming the artifact came with him, his partner would be held hostage until it is retrieved. He wishes to save him and to do that, he needs to leave Drevhall to make it back home. This would deteriorate his mental as time passed.  He is very impressionable, quickly taking to the Cortosians when they offered him help. This has been exploited before…

## In Drevhall

Kairos has been somewhat dormant in the happenings of the world; he joined Cortosa, converted to the Cult of the Deep One, planned a city in Cortosa, visited many lands, and spoke to many. He is mostly pent up in Cortosa because of his current mental state, which is quickly deteriorating. He needs a way to return home soon, and he is not getting one. He has spent a lot of time at his desk underground, writing and drawing plans that he tosses as he writes. Yet… he feels he is meant for more. He longs for the skull artifact, delusional about what it might do for him.

In recent events, Kairos used his mana to teleport his friend Tabbs out of a situation where he was being arrested by The Order. He was later tracked down and arrested in an Order-owned Salacian prison, said to be more secure than Wacked Castle. He did not go down without a fight, however, not disclosing any compromising information and even managing to evade them for a time. He was incarcerated for seven days, until he received a teleportation spell, and upon answering it, was sent to an old friend. After Tabbs teleported him out of prison, Kairos had set out to go to Drakeheim to meet an old friend for aid. Around this time, a bounty was put on both his and Tabbs' heads, issued by the High King DaviDustin. As he approached the nation of Drakeheim, a firework echoed through the air. He turned to see a figure soaring through the air, diving towards him with a sword out.

IllumniEclipse ended him on the spot, and there was nothing Kairos could do.
