Personality: âKairon is best described as pensive and analytical. He does not speak often, and when he does itâs usually in the form of a response as opposed to initiating dialogue. He is a man of thought, and his appreciation extends to people who acknowledge thoughts and ideas as paramount. He has little patience for people he considers intellectually inferior, or impulsive by nature, though he probably will not voice this opinion unless pressed.
New ideas often excite him, (even if this is not seen on his face), and he can spend hours contemplating a single subject and all that it entails simply to understand everything about it. His approach to new things is very analysis and logic based, often breaking down objects, ideas, and even people hypothesizing about them based on the knowledge he possesses, allowing for fairly accurate deductions on any given subject. This unfortunately also makes him rather paranoid, especially since with his heritage attempts on his life arenât too rare of an occurrence. Thus he has difficulty trusting people, though once it is earned it is given wholeheartedly. His taste for knowledge is somewhat fickle however, he scoffs at the idea of a formal education and is more content to learn about whatever piques his interest at the time, then moving on to the next thing. Kairon in not known to be a conventional individual, but he is clearly intelligent as well as bluntly honest in most situations.
Kairon is not a man of strong convictions and principles, and often is agnostic to the decisions of others and their beliefs, his only code is that which he does not wish to partake in (lying, stealing, cheating) or feel is worth the risk. This isnât to say he has no moral standards, as he wouldnât commit murder or stand idle to witness a similarly heinous crime, though he would argue that stupidity should be a punishable offense. He has adopted no formal religion, but finds merit in the ideologies of them and often considers adopting one for himself. In that arena he can respect the beliefs of others quite easily, however he finds arguments about such matters or related matters like politics and ethics abhorrent and a âwaste of thought,â quickly becoming bored of the arguers.
His nature sometimes makes people uneasy, or even suspicious in that he says so little. Most of his communication is through gesture unless he is bothered to speak, and some may mistake him for being a mute because of this. Never does he seek the social graces of strangers that he believes he will never see again. This also makes him socially weak, as he struggles to be gregarious and doesnât always catch social nuances, even to the point of not understanding peopleâs feelings and emotional needs therefore not reciprocating correctly. His responses to such situations usually fall back to his strengths of objective analysis, though if a person simply wants validation this can anger them.
Contrary to what others may believe however Kairon himself is not âemotionlessâ. Under the surface he is capable of feeling a wide variety of emotion, he simply does not rely in them and they donât naturally come out into the open. His emotional side reserved for those closest to him, good friends, family and the like, around them he has little trouble being gregarious and expressing himself and holds them in higher regard and love than all of the knowledge in the world.
A friendship with Kairon is hard won, taking quite a while before he truly warms to a person, though it is usually easier if they have an intellect to match or surpass his own. Once attained however, Kairon is a formidable ally to the point of zealotry to protect these few lasting friendships. One may say his emotions are childlike in their simplicity in contrast to a mind that deals with complex and abstract thoughts. To those close to him Kairon is a Tiefling who is respected for his mind and cherished for his simplistic ties to people.

Personal History/Background: - Kairon was born under unusual circumstances, though that goes without saying anyone who is a Tiefling. His grandfather was something of an infamous necromancer, named Kirgan, but during his life Kaironâs ancestor struck an accord with a devil lieutenant of Hell. In exchange for demonic power and aid of the lieutenantâs subordinates, the man promised his allegiance and those of his line to the devil commander.
In the following years Kirgan became a pseudo sorcerer-warlord, mostly pillaging villages for his rather petty attempt of conquest as well as abducting women for his harem of slaves, his way of preserving and propagating his âillustrious lineâ. Unfortunately for him only one child was born from his exploits, and shortly after he found himself at the mercy of the local guard, whom promptly smote him rather unceremoniously.
Kirganâs son was a small boy at the time, and had little idea of what was happening and why, thus knowledge of the pact his father made would not be revealed to him until later in life. His father had named him after his hellish associate, but his mother that wanted nothing more to do with her delusional rapist renamed him Fergus, adding her maiden name Drest. Fergusâ life was mostly spent in seclusion with his mother, who loved him dearly despite the heritage he had, and as he grew older he came to understand that he was different from other people. Eventually after incidences with locals that ended with jeers and persecutions his mother told him the truth.
Afterwards Fergus spent little time with other people, however as a man he met a woman named Lillian, and she was a practicing mage that didnât look at him with distain or disgust. They courted and were quietly married. Peace for Fergus however was not to last, the devil lieutenant had been keeping tabs on Kirgan, and once he learned of his son that was alive and grown, he sent his minions to collect the debt owed. One of Fergusâ few close friends, an adventurer introduced to him by his wife, had caught wind of the manhunt by Hellâs dogs and warned Fergus. Since there was no indication that they knew about his wife, Fergus decided to leave her for her own safety, and flee the countryside with his friend accompanying him on the venture.
Neither have been heard from again, and are presumed dead or worse.
Lillian later discovered that she was with child, and somewhat to her dismay he looked very much like his father, she however was thankful that that the devil seemed to not be aware of the Kirgan progeny, so she decided not to tell the boy of it wanting him to have as few connections with his ancestor as possible. Kaironâs life was lived rather similarly to his father, in that he was the only child of a single mother, and quickly learned that he was a distrusted and resented form of being. Kairon was however blessed with a mother with knowledge of magic, and she taught him about everything she knew.
This sparked the boyâs interest in quests for knowledge, often he would sneak into libraries at night (to avoid contact with apprehensive folk) to read tomes, scriptures and spell books, even partially learning languages. At the age of seventeen he decided to venture out beyond his home, hearing of cities with larger libraries and people renowned for their intellectual pursuits.
During his travels he has learned various spells as well as how to handle a blade, or at least the basics of it as he would stand little chance fighting an experienced martial opponent with steel alone. Now at the age of twenty-four, his thirst for new ideas, and people who donât have a double take by sight of him is insatiable.
