**Prince Kellan, Duke of Windenburg** is the third child and only son of King Henry IV and Queen Alice of Windenburg. He is the younger brother of Queen Amira and Princess May, and the older half-brother of Prince Charles, Princess Bellatrix and Princess Diana.

Kellan married Princess Megan of Oasis Springs and they became the Duke and Duchess of Windenburg following their marriage. Together, they have a son Lord William.

Kellan was born heir to the Windenburg throne, but ended up renouncing his claim. His renouncement played an important role in the events that led to his sister Amira becoming queen, and the succession laws of Windenburg being changed.

## Bio

### Personality

Despite being born the heir to the throne, Kellan did not want to become King.

## History

He was born the Crown Prince, the heir to the Windenburg throne because at the time of his birth, the law in Windenburg prioritized male heirs over female in the line of succession. This put him ahead of his two older sisters, the then-Princess Amira and Princess May.

### Claim Renouncement

Kellan's oldest sister Amira was betrothed to the then-Crown Prince Johan of Brindleton Bay, as part of the Treaty of Brindleton Bay and Windenburg. Amira hated the betrothal and Kellan saw how miserable it made her, especially after the sudden death of their sister, Princess May (who had been secretly in love with Johan, and would have married him in Amira's place). Kellan knew that passing his claim to Amira would benefit her by allowing her to end the betrothal.

Kellan admitted that he never wanted to be king and brought an idea to his father, King Henry IV. He suggested that Johan marry one of Kellan's cousins instead. Johan later fell in love with and married Lady Sadira of Windenburg, thus fulfilling the Treaty.

Another reason Kellan may have renounced his claim was his love for his then-girlfriend, Princess Megan of Oasis Springs. They were very much in love, but Megan had reservations about marrying Kellan because he was heir to the throne. She wanted a low-key life and freedom to travel. This led to them breaking up for awhile. However, Kellan realized he didn't want to be king, and they got back together.

### Post abdication

Kellan and Megan eloped and sometime later, they became the Duke and Duchess of Windenburg. They also had a son, Lord William of Windenburg.

Kellan, like the rest of his family, was shocked when his sister Amira suddenly died and her young daughter Alice May became queen. Kellan had now lost both his parents and full-blooded sisters. He gave the eulogy at her funeral.S2P91
