Kaid Renn
Embrace the echoes of the stars, let Celentrist be your guide.
Hyper focussed, hyper driven, and with a life besieged by an adventure of the unexpected. Kaid is both point of contact for the adventurer and technomage Thalia Moondance and an extremely competent Primus student for celestial studies, both mundane and magical.
Born to a loving, if more mundane family in lower Natare , Kaid was always expected to be the 'smart' child. With two siblings and one step-sibling, Kaid was both the youngest of his clan and yet the one with the most magical promise, with a knack for pattern recognition showing itself early, as well as a tendency to ask all the most driving questions.
During his tutoring years, Kaid was neither interested in sports and games, nor in romances or frivolity, becoming known as a bit of an outcast, but gifted and likely to enter the academy to become a mage.
Study in the academy was as expected, with projects being allotted to him even before he was ready for a Primus study. It was his second year of Secondus that Xylos attacked though. With the beginning of the siege, and the dreams of heightened desires wracking the city, it was Kaid and a few other mages not drawn into the compulsion to act on their surface emotions that led to the constructions of a few unique methods of war.
While other groups had varying degrees of success, Kaid's group attempted to create some sort of compressive null-space in an effort to decisively remove the army from the city gates. This went horribly wrong. Three of the upcoming mages were compressed that day, with Kaid suffering an almost lethal facial injury in the following explosion, his left eye permanently destroyed.
After the siege ended and lockdown was removed, Thalia came to find him in the healing wing he was in. She offered him a position as her scribe and secretary, and lightly suggested he pivot specialities.
The space race
After becoming Thalia's scribe, the next few months became chaos as the first thing the would be adventurer did was disappear off the face of the planet. Leaving Kaid to collect all her research, as well as explore first hand accounts through her acquaintances, Mr Renn soon would be seen with a nasty case of Scaleskin and bags of sleepless nights under his eyes. With so many people seeking Thalia, it would be months before the dust settled on her absence.
Once everything had settled, Kaid enrolled in the astronomy and the celestial mathematics seconduses, because of that insane need to be 'the smart one'. While the lack of an eye was an issue in the physical world, in studied it barely formed a problem and Mr Renn was soon approaching Primus on both degrees (while herding requests evermore from people seeking Thalia).
Studies however led Renn to travel to Saburra and its telescope, and the archivethere that would help in the Primus project he had sought - mapping the stars to the evidence of the realms beyond Levis. When the people seeking Thalia brought back Pan the satyr, this was a perfect triangulating piece of information that would help set up his graduation project.
Oof, I feel that need to be the 'smart one'. I'm curious as to what he plans to do in the future with his degrees finished.
