Characters

Here is a listing of the characters from Chronicles of the Holly Knight, complete with links to their individual pages on the site. Enjoy!

Sarena Lengton -- Jayden's sister. She takes his place as Kesyl's Guardian when he is kidnapped by Trevor Kalen of The Kye. She uses a combination of martial arts and dual daggers with poisons. Unknown to her, she was awakened by Kesyl, meaning that she possesses Sealer blood.

Kesyl -- A Godling (although he does not know this) who is the son of Ruby and Darius. Kesyl is known to possess the powers of a Sealer, a vital but feared part of Kindred society. He is capable of draining others of their powers and, if he desires, their very souls. He has a Guardian to keep his powers in check, although publicly it is believed this person is their to protect him physically, much like a celebrity with a bodyguard.

Amy Farrow -- Sarena's roommate at Hycanth House and Kesyl's closest friend since childhood. Like Kesyl, Amy left her homeworld when it was about to be destroyed. A devout follower of her element, Earth, Amy has dedicated her life to perfecting the art of healing. Something at which she greatly excels. She is secretly smitten with Jayden.

Jayden Lengton -- Sarena's brother and Kesyl's original Guardian. Jayden has a reputation at Hycanth House for being two things: a rebel and a ladies' man. Due to his notoriety people assume that Sarena is going to be trouble from word go. Jayden fights with a single lightweight blade. He is also known to like gadgets such as smoke grenades and combat boots with cleated bottoms that can inject an enemy with poison, a tranquilizer, truth syrum, etc.

Isabelle McChella -- Self-proclaimed 'first lady' of Hycanth House, Isabelle is a senior and next to Zynedian born people like Kesyl and Amy has the most experience with magic and Kindred society. She is Jayden Lengton's girlfriend but has set her sights on Nicholas Kalen since Jayden's kidnapping after discovering that he is the heir to the leadership of The Kye. Isabelle has no regard for rules or regulations unless they will benefit her and will stop at nothing to keep others from getting in her way.

Nicholas Kalen -- A Zynedian-born of Earth decent, no one is quite sure who his parents or immediate family are. He was raised alongside Amy by Eleyna Farrow but always felt that he was lesser then Amy and unwanted overall despite his younger "sibling's" attempts at friendship. Eventually he is contacted by his birth father, Trevor Kalen, and is told of his true heritage. Nicholas is eager to prove himself worthy and hopes to use his position to win Sarena, who has managed to intrigue him.

Gregori -- Originally of human decent, Gregori has been awakened for two years. Last summer he suffered the loss of his parents to a Necromancer attack and he has not been the same since. Once a close friend of Kesyl and Jayden he has shunned all who are or who defend those of Sealer blood. Yet he has taken great care to keep his feelings private and has maintained his training as a Guardian, awaiting his chance to kill the Moon Prince and claim a Sealer's powers for his own. Can they truly raise the dead...?

Carita Veradayne -- A Zynedian-born of Water decent, Carita is the current Guardians Instructor at Hycanth House. She is a master with a sword and shield and can use some basic healing magic. She is the Guardian of Azaka Einlazer, the Lord of Fire. She is also his wife. Though fun-loving and whimsical, Carita takes her role, both as a Guardian and an Instructor, seriously. She believed in Jayden and believes equally in Sarena. She loves Kesyl like a son and has viewed raising him as the highest honour that her goddess, Ruby, could have ever bestowed.

Azaka Einlazer -- Although he is more serious and stern then his wife, Azaka is overall a good man and strong leader. Although he wields great power as the Lord of Fire he tends to use it only as a last resort due to its potentially destructive nature. Azaka has a complex relationship with Kesyl and with Jayden; the former due to the fact that he will become the Lord of Water (to whom Azaka will be accountable) and the latter because Azaka feels he would have great potential if he would get his act together.

Kaye Delainey -- Head Mistress of Hycanth House, Kaye is a Zynedian-born of Air decent, but is actually classified as a Triad Mage since she can access some magics attuned to Earth and Water. An extremely powerful sorceress who has dedicated her life to mastering the magics of space and time, it was Kaye who discovered the rip within the veil that allowed the Zynedians to escape their planet's destruction. Kaye is also the current Lady of Air and is both well liked and deeply respected by both Kindred and humans since she was the one who negotiated with multiple world governments to secure a place for her people in their new world.

Eleyna Farrow -- A Zynedian-born historian of Earth decent, Eleyna does everything in her power to preserve the way of life known and cherished by Zynedians for countless milennia as they adjust to their new home on Earth -- whether they want to keep those traditions or not. She also takes great pride and pleasure in teaching those being awakened the greatness of the society they are entering. She has high expectations of her daughter, Amy. She keeps a watchful eye on her son Nicholas, knowing that if he learns the truth of his birthright there could be dire consequences indeed...

Echo Kharrol -- One of the three prophets that sit as part of the Council of Seven. Echo was chosen to become part of the council directly after the transfer to Earth. In her ritual to gain the sight her skin was turned gray because it was determined that her greatest weakness was vanity. Echo has begun to work with Isabelle, who has been called to become a prophet as well. Despite Isabelle's attitude, Echo sympathizes with her and is determined to do everything in her power to ensure that she is ready for the ritual when it happens.

Azrael the Plague Bringer -- One of Trevor's four Generals, Azrael uses corrupted Air magic to spread plagues across the land. Through the use of his foul magic he has managed to pass an illness to Azaka Einlazer that has warped the Atheronian leader so that he is able to be "persuaded". This is how Jayden was captured and why Azaka continues to put off efforts to search for him. By corrupting Azaka and taking Jayden, Azrael seeks to weaken the Council of Seven and tear the Weave, crippling the natural powers of the Kindred in the process.

Trevor Kalen -- Once the Lord of Earth, Trevor Kalen watched as the Atheronian Council of Seven ran his home planet of Zynedia into the ground. Having given multiple unheaded warnings, he eventually denounced his title, took those who would listen, and separated from the formal government of his home planet. In retaliation the remaining members of the Council bound their powers together to sever his connection to the Weave, stripping him of the ability to use magic. When his fiancee, Eleyna, betrayed him to complete the ritual he turned to the dark god (NEEDS A NAME) who taught him to harness the power within his own blood to fullfill his destiny.
