Kairos Yale

Character Description
A cunning survivor that has lived through the dangers of corruption, money, and power. As an heir to a once powerful family that was coming to greater prominence, his future looked bright as the destined child to take control of the family business and solidify its legacy. However, fate would have other plans. The ruthless ruling family ordered the killing of his entire family in broad daylight as an example to all of its citizens as they grew jealous of their growing influence. Luckily, the eldest child was tipped off about this scheme by friendly merchants he had worked with in the past. Unfortunately, it was not in time to save his family and was forced to be smuggled out of the region with the help of the vast network of merchants he was connected with. Now thrown into a different life, he had to survive by working for the merchants he was indebted to in hiding. The job suited him as he was always on the move which made it harder for the ruling family to track him down. This was also where he sharpened his business skills in order to rebuild his wealth and chart a new path.

Scarred from this brutal upbringing that extended into early adulthood, he has been forced to drop his family name and adopt a new identity to remain hidden from old foes and potential new enemies. Known now as Kairos, he is a revered merchant and businessman that likes to keep his cards close to him and maintain a tight circle of trusted companions.

Kairos means taking action at the opportune or right time when the stars align so to speak. As he has grown older, time has become his most prized possession. In business and in life, timing is everything. The ability to seize the moment is what separates winners from losers. He also believes that there is a time for everything. Shaped by his intense survivor mentality, the world appears to him as a bleak and dark place where everyone is a pawn in the sea of humanity. There will always be a time for peace and war. Suffering and prosperity. Most certainly, a time for birth and death. Coming to peace with that truth is what motivates him to continue his journey as the sole survivor of his original family and to keep their legacy alive in spirit.
