Kaydens

**Kaydens**, real name **Kay Nodens**, is a Master from Kingdom of Altar. He is the 3rd place in the Kingdom's kill rankings and the leader of the Welkin Alliance which is ranked 4th in the Kingdom's clan rankings.

## Appearance

Kaydens appears to be a boy in his mid-teens who wears a great number of yellow coats, which gives him a rotund appearance. He also wears a hat with a windmill attached. In actuality, this is Kaydens' Embryo and his true form is that of a pixie, small enough to fit in his Embryo's hand.

## Personality

Kaydens' personality can be described as chaotic evil. He enjoys deceiving people in order to see their reactions when they learn the truth. He is quite adept at deception, having kept his true appearance and personality hidden from everyone, even his clan members and manipulating them into misunderstanding his abilities in order to keep his Embryo's abilities hidden.

He has a bad habit of ignoring weak enemies when fighting large hordes of opponents.

He also enjoys trivia.

## History

At some point, Kay became the chief of a medical facility located in the United States of America.

When starting *Infinite Dendrogram*, Kaydens ignored the advice of Queen, the Control A.I. in charge of his avatar creation and made his avatar a pixie, despite the numerous disadvantages. At some point after that, he fought and was defeated by ISBN. After that, shortly after the creation of the Welkin Alliance, Kaydens received information on the Demon Lord series Superior Job, Lord Superbia from ISBN.

## Abilities

As the owner of Welkin Alliance, he is in control of the clan's activities, policies and direction.

### Job

**King of Storm** (嵐王キング・オブ・ストーム): A Superior Job from the mage grouping that specializes in the wind attribute magic.

* **Tempest** (大嵐テンペスト): The ultimate skill of King of Storm that creates a huge vortex of storm that attracts, entangles and crushes the surroundings objects. Even in a relatively high altitude of 10,000 metels where the air is thin, Kaydens simply uses Hastur's **Hyades Wind** along with this skill to give it enough power to swallow the surrounding objects within a radius of 2,000 metels around it.

**Lord Superbia** (傲慢魔王ロード・スペルヴィア): A Superior Job of no grouping from the Demon Lord series. This job can only be unlocked by conquering the dungeon located in the Superior Sky Castle.

* **Superior Privilege** (アッパー・ポジション上位特権): A passive skill that reduces influence from hostile entities with a lower total level than the user. It reduces the influence of entities by 1% for every 5 levels they are below the user. If the user is 500 or more levels above an entity in total level, then they cannot be influenced by them at all. It does not apply to monsters that are not subordinate to a human. This passive skill is the prototype of The Evil's skill that makes them completely immune to **Truth Discernment** and makes them immune to **Reveal** until they reach a certain level.
* **External Privilege** (インナー・ポジション対外特権): An active skill that completely negates interference from anything outside of the Archetype System, such as Masters, Embryos, Monsters and UBMs. However, this skill costs 1000 MP per second to activate. This active skill is the prototype of The Evil's passive skill that makes them immune from any influence outside the world's influence.
* **End of Pride** (傲慢の終焉ジ・エンド・オブ・プライド): The Final Blow of Lord Superbia. In exchange of the user losing all of his defense power and the ability to use Privilege, the user becomes capable of ignoring all of the opponent's defense power and resistance skills in the surrounding area. It forces the concept of the "Loss of Defense", turning the surrounding creatures as nothing more different than sand mountains that even a simple blow of wind from the user can turn into dust. The skill's effects lasts until the user's death.

**Aeromancer** (翆風術師エアロマンサー): A high rank job from the mage grouping that specializes in wind attribute magic.

**Wiseman** (賢者ワイズマン, *J-Novel Club: "Sage"*): A high-rank job. It focuses on using the magic of all types and elements.

**Mage** (魔術師メイジ): A low rank job focusing on casting spells.

* **Chant** (詠唱): By adding a chant to a magic spell, the power, effect and range can be increased depending on the duration of the chant.

## Trivia

* Kaydens ranks 3rd as the strongest Pre-Superior of the Kingdom of Altar excluding the Control A.I.s. The ranking is based on the premise that they are limited to only the maximum altitude allowed by the duel while surpise attacks are still allowed.
	+ Even if Kaydens does not have the Superior Job, **Lord Superbia**, he would still be considered as the 3rd strongest Pre-Superior of the Kingdom of Altar as long as he still has **Hastur**, the Superior Job, **King of Storm**, and all of his special rewards.
