## Description

### Appearance

Initially, Kevan appeared to be a young human male, who was never seen without his Highpeak Guard uniform/armor. His visor was constantly falling into his face. During the events of Campaign 2 Episode 5: Wild Magic, Kevan turned himself into a dwarf with a wild magic spell, and has been a dwarf ever since.

Baby faced before, now he sports a long beard, and wears masterfully crafted armor from Paul's Boutique.

Briefly, Kevan had a wild magic spell grow six inches of hair on every bit of skin on his body, but this was remedied in the weeks after the Hobbs Investigation and before King Tannyll's Coronation.

### Personality

Kevan is a naive individual. He is truly good in nature, though his inability to control his powers has seen him do horrific acts which cause stress and harm to those closest to him.

He can act without thinking, but questions the morally dubious and always attempts to do what is right. He is considered lovable and endearing to most around him.

## Biography

### Background

Kevan Blackwell was born to Edwin Blackwell, his third child and second son. He was enrolled in the Mage's Guild until he accidentally used wild magic and burned the face of another student. Following, he was expelled from the school. His older brother Garrett was appointed head of the guard and employed Kevan until a mishap with wild magic severely burned a fellow guard.

### Campaign 2

After several mishaps with his magic, Kevan's father sent him on a wild goose chase to search for "Max Evil" a supposed maniac who had plans to destroy the city. He was sent to Hobbs Detective Agency, hoping that the detectives there would not have the competence to discern this fake character.

In his own investigation, he was caught up in a real threat, involving elven assassins which had come to the city to assassinate Prince Tannyll at his coronation. During a fight with them, Andurel was killed and Kevan brought him to Tyrael's tonics and saved him with a resurrection ritual. Though in the process, managed to permanently turn himself into a dwarf.

His father's bigotry was revealed in Kevan's beliefs about dwarves, which he was corrected on by the rest of the party. Though some of this information would retain.

Edwin Blackwell was discovered by the party to be involved in something nefarious, and investigated him as well. The whole time, Kevan believed that there was a misunderstanding, and his father was being wrongfully accused by Sherman Hobbs. When they refused to return his father's amulet, the party fled and Kevan was left unsure of what to do. He was told by his father that he would be disowned if he did not turn himself back into a human.

While seeking help from his sister, Elia, Kevan made an entire class of students at the Mage's Guild disappear without a trace.

Kevan set out with Tyrael and reunited with the party outside of the city. He assisted in saving a little girl from an attack on her farm by giant beetles. Upon returning to the city, Kevan was involved in the skirmish at the jewellers. He disapproved of John's attempt to burn the store down to cover up what they had stolen, and leave the crooked jeweller without a home.

When the party stole Edwin's book, they found that he had given a gem with the soul of Rythis to his wife, Kevan's mother, and it drove her mad, resulting in her death. He began to hear voices himself and began his plot to resurrect Rythis.

Kevan and the rest of the Investigators raided the Laughing Tree Tavern and defeated the elven assassins, who were in their room. He was arrested along with Andurel and Tyrael. Sherman and John, who had escaped, discovered that Edwin had been arrested, thanks to their tip to Jaro Hamilton, and rushed to find Garrett and get them released. There, in the prison, Garrett took Kevan to see their father, who admitted his plans to Kevan and stated that he was to be executed and this would be the last time the two would speak.

Kevan was at the Coronation when King Tannyll made his speech intending to declare war on Eastdale for the crimes of the Creamus Dynasty.
