Kieran

Description

Kieran was an Awakened Mage Assassin and the disciple of Lesalia. He was part of a group of six Awakened youths who attempted a Forbidden Magic ritual on the City of Zantia while posing as members of the Church of the Six. Driven by a desire to surpass his master's expectations and prove his worth, he developed a deep hatred for Lith, viewing him as a rival and a benchmark for his own progress. His arrogance and recklessness ultimately led to his downfall during a failed attempt to ambush Lith. He was eventually killed by Lith in the warehouse district after being lured into a trap.

Keiran

Personality

Kieran was arrogant, reckless, and highly ambitious. He deeply resented being treated like a child by his superiors and felt stifled by the caution preached by his master, Lesalia. His obsession with proving his superiority and his hatred for Lith drove him to act against the interests of his own group. Despite his intensive training and raw skill, his impatience and inability to follow a plan ultimately led to his death.

Appearance

He is described as wearing an assassin's garb that was entirely black, covering his body from head to toe and leaving only his eyes visible.

Backstory

Kieran, along with five other Awakened youths, met during Council meetings and bonded over their shared age and struggles. They performed a ritual to alter the Third Eye, allowing them to split its effects and the burden of their life force drain. To further mitigate the cost of their Forbidden Magic, they attempted to lure Lith to Zantia as a seventh member, planning to use his status as a rogue Awakened to their advantage. Kieran, pushed by his master Lesalia to exceed Lith's feats, grew to resent Lith. Despite orders from his group, he acted independently to assassinate Lith, which resulted in his being poisoned by his own weapon and later reprimanded by his ally, Deraniel. He was finally killed by Lith after being lured into a trap under the guise of the Church of the Six's All-Father.
