Kane's background

“If man is to survive this world, it will be by courage and duty alone.”

When I first joined King Daedric, his soldiers fled from me as if I carried the sickness. Only one guard seemed at ease around my unusual nature, Kane.

For over 15 years, the steely haired warrior has been my closest and most trusted companion. We each owe our lives to the other, many times over. Saved from certain death in battles with brigands, rebellious tribes and dangerous creatures from remote parts of the world.

Kane is intellectually sharp and a sound tactician. His list of faults is short, far outweighed by his exemplary measure, but if pressed to speak on his greatest weakness, I would confess an ease at which he becomes flustered and impatient. Such headstrong inclinations make him prone to attack problems with brute force, even when a more delicate solution is called for. Faults and shortcomings aside, Kane is the benchmark of a solider and friend, to which I measure all others. I value my second-in-command’s advice more than any other.

No discussion of Kane would be complete without mention that there is no record, written or oral, of the shieldguard ever withdrawing from combat first. He is valiant and heroic to a fault. While he values his life greatly, I’ve seen him risk it firsthand, without second thought, to protect those under his charge. Bound by the seven virtues of his title, King’s Champion, Kane lives by a strict code of conduct, offering mercy to his most fearsome enemies and aid to any who openly request it.

After his wife and adolescent son were taken in a storm of fire and ash, Kane turned away from women. For seventeen years he has been without serious relationship. Though if my eyes serve me, I would swear the shieldguard has developed a fondness for Maeve. A bond forged over the five-year duration of their friendship as fellow soldiers, no doubt. How deeply he cares for her, I dare not guess… One thing I know for certain, his dedication to duty would never allow him to openly express his feelings.
