Kunal Darknoll

Kunal is the biological child of Caesar Ninian Darknoll and the heir to the Darknoll Family fortune along with the Darknoll Manor itself. There have been many rumors suggesting that Kunal is jelous of his adoptoded sister over the years as she has well and truly stolen the spotlight in many respects. However the only people who say such things are those who do not know the relationship the three siblings share. Kunal is very much the finacial brains of all of Dahlia's works and role as head of the Tree-Wrights and it's in this area that he truly shines.  
"My sister is immensinly talented as a Tree Wright, she however spends money like it's water" - Kunal Darknoll
 

Appearance

A Scaled Beastkin Kunal looks much like his father though his eyes are far more yellow and snake like than his were even in his youth. He usually sports a small neatly kept mustache and well groomed goatee, along with short dark hair. He has a small amount of vibrant yellow scales that wrap around and near his eyes, these scales also become more visible when he's flustered or upset even changing colour slightly from yellow to a shade of pink.  

Personality

Kunal is an extremly patient man with time enough for everyone that needs him, he has inherited much of his mothers good nature always prefering to see the good in people if they could only be given a chance and the money to get out of whatever situation they've found themseleves in. He is also quite a careful individual making sure that seeds are counted and every small amount of money that goes into and out of the family business is accounted for. It is this aspect that has kept the Darknoll fortune growing in the years since Dhalia arrived as she is want to spend far more quickly than think about the cost of such things.  

Background

He is the oldest of the three children of Caesar Darknoll being born into both privelage and scorn. His father being one of the Old Families but his mother being nothing more than a commoner. If his grandparents could have they would have disowned the lot of them but with no other direct heirs and several branch families being less than desireable alternatives things stayed as they were though with far more scrutiny than normal for a small child. These early years were some of Kunal's happiest though much like anything truly wonderful they are not meant to last.  

Loss of a Mother

When young Kunal was 5 his mother announced that there would be another to join them soon. Kunal looked forward to his new sibling with great joy. However during the birth his mother gave her life so that young Ren would live. However before she passed she had written letters to both her husband and son in case something went wrong. The only thing know is one line from the letter to Kunal which said "Ren is my last gift to you but the price had been very high, so to treasure her as they treasured all my gifts". Thus what could have turned to bitterness and resentment because a protective and loving nature for Kunal.  

A new gift

Some time later when Kunal was approaching his 13th birthday Caesar brough home Dahlia, barely 8 years old but already impressing his father with her talent and understanding Kunal was immediatetly jealous of the young prodigy. After a particularly bad incident involving a favourite rocking horse of Ren's and some expreimental wood carving Caesar took Kunal aside and said to watch from a secret vantage point. Some time later Dahlia returned with the rocking horse in perfect condition perhaps even better. Urging Ren to sit on it they all watched with utter amazement as the horse partially came to life whinnying and rocking on it's own, Ren's laughter filled the house. Whispering into Kunal's ear he said "and she is a gift..." or at least that's what Kunal heard.  

Adulthood

Many years later as Dahlia ascended to the leadership position of the Tree-Wrights Kunal and Ren were more than happy to step up and support their sister as they knew the people who were in charge would not be happy with the situation and it was very likely Dahlia wouldn't understand that these people were trying to kill her at the first opportunity. Kunal vowed to protect the gifts he'd been given with the skills he had even if they were only finacial he knew that money would do a lot to keep the hounds at bay.  

Relationships

Nothing official as heir to the Darknoll family fortune many suitors have come calling attempting to woo their way into his good graces but all have been turned away. Many rumors suggest he is engaging in an illicit and taboo affair with his sister Dahlia though he does his best to squash these rumors whenever anyone mentions them.  

Allegiance

Kunal Maintains the relationship between Dahlia, the Tree-Wrights and the The Silver Council often times going in her stead to the meeting if his sister Ren is not available to do so. As such he has managed to forge a few allicences with the following people:
