-Currently studying in Old Sharalyn to learn of The Source and its reflections. Also trying to invent tech to make travel between The Shards much easier.

Kaen Arkmore was born in Ra'tika Greatwoods over on The First. Being one of the few males born in the generation, the Tribe took care of every need Kaen could possible ever have, The Tribe treated him similar to royalty. His mother taught him basic survival skills, along with gardening and caring for wildlife. In result, Kaen loves to forage and harvest any plant under the sun. Owning just about every Botanical Encyclopedia available on Etheirys.

Having possessed abnormally high skills with the Lance at such a young age, after his 13th name-day, Kaen was made the equivalent of a Royal Guard to the Tribe. He was nearly half the age of any other guard at the time, which unfortunately resulted in jealousy/rivalry. The morning of his 19th name-day, Hydalyn had summoned Kaen to The Source, ripping him away from any family or friends, leaving him completely alone not far outside of the city of Gridiana.

During the events of Post-ARR/Early HW, He was entrusted with the Dragoon stone. Determined to master the newly gifted knowledge of a Dragoon, Kaen looked up to Estienen as a guide and master. When the events of Mid-Late HW happened, Kaen decided to drop everything and rescue his new friend/master without a care for the potential danger ahead. When Haurchfant died, Kaen closed himself off from others, not wanting to risk any more friends he cared for to their early graves.

Following the events of ShB, Kaen fell into a deep depression once he learned of The Flood. His emotions became wildly unpredictable, giving into rage when he came across any Sin Eaters along his journey. He would eliminate them without care for his own safety. His hair slowly turned entirely white the more Light Wardens he absorbed, his emotions became even more wild and unpredictable, and at times, seemed feral, as if giving in to the Sin Eaters instincts.

Returning to Rak'tika shattered what hope he had left. Learning everyone he knew or loved either died from old age long ago or the Sin Eaters turning his entire Tribe into mindless monsters. His original tribe was wiped out completely, only the burned remains gave any idea to what happened. Having found out his parents had turned into Sin Eaters roughly 8 years prior to his arrival in The First, he searched for them. It took weeks to do so but when he did, having nearly given up hope of finding them, he slew the both of them mercifully.

EW and Post EW: Having somewhat come to terms with the events in The First, Kaen looked to better himself. Seeking ways to aid his emotional episodes, he found a love for Lavender Tea and a drive to make it possible to return home once again. For a short time, Kaen seemingly disappeared in pursuit of his research, determined to work on it to the point of utter exhaustion. Following the events of Endwalker, Kaen grew much closer to G'raha Tia and the Scions, treating them like close family. G'raha Tia and Krile now work with Kaen in Old Sharlyn with his research and tech development.

-He dyes his hair regularly to rid of the white caused by the Light Wardens
