Kye Vakurseth is a cambion of Pain with a mysterious past. Kye is currently working as an assassin for the Silent Messengers, but now that he has been sent to assassinate Sir Tom Drake, his life is about to change forever.

Biography

Almost nothing is known of Kye's past, and he isn't telling, either. He was born in the Underworld and is the direct son of Akhoman, Archdemon of Pain, making Kye an exceptionally powerful individual, along with his twin, Lye. It is unknown who Kye's human parent was and how Kye came to Midgard, along with most everything else about him. Now he is an assassin working with the Silent Messengers, and they are the only mortals who know of his demonic nature. On the side, he often acts as a thief - one of the best the realm has ever seen, and the only one to have ever successfully stolen from the royal treasury of Corornaia - but he only does this while in his human disguise, trying to keep his true nature a secret. Currently, he has been hired by the Hooded Figure to assassinate the knight Sir Tom Drake, the Demon Slayer of Illikon.

Description

Being a cambion of Pain, Kye has many prominent demonic features: wings, a spearheaded tail, two pairs of dark horns, violet eyes, fangs, pointed ears, and deep but bright, indigo-purple hair. He is able to hide these features at will, although they will reappear if something breaks his rather fragile concentration. Even with these monstrous attributes, however, Kye can nonetheless be summed up as tall, dark, and handsome, almost absurdly so. His face is well chiseled and usually clean-shaven, with strikingly handsome features. When in his human disguise, Kye generally takes up bright blue eyes and raven black hair, at least when working with the Silent Messengers.

Kye bears nearly countless scars, many very strange and several seemingly deliberate, all over most of his body, as well as tattoos. He often hides these with his magic, when he can manage the concentration to do so.

Though he is often clad in spiky armor to begin with, he is never seen without a metallic gauntlet that covers his left hand and forearm up to his elbow. This gauntlet is heavy, spiked, and tips his fingers in long metal claws. Kye refuses to take it off.

Personality

Kye's personality certainly does not suit his tall, strong, demonic, and generally intimidating appearance - in fact, he behaves almost like the opposite of what he appears. Though he feigns courage in order to survive, Kye is actually a gentle, caring, often naive, and frankly terrified soul. He behaves with almost absurd curiosity for everything around him, despite occasionally showing strangely extensive knowledge of certain (all very undesirable) subjects, none of which he wants to talk about. Shy, hesitant, and often very anxious, Kye can generally be seen mistrusting everyone, when he isn't trying to put up his facade of confidence.

Appearances

Kye is a main character in The Prophecy of the Six, and he has appeared in Knightfall and Into the North. He will also be the protagonist of "That Lonesome Road" in Tales of Wulfgard, Volume II.
