Kyeran

Full Title: Kyeran, the Tshamek

Description
Kyeran is a powerful Shoanti Barbarian, who usually wields a large Earthbreaker. He relies on brute strength and a wealth of stamina.

He can go into a rage, increasing his power and constitution, but lowering his defenses. Doing so tires him greatly however, and loses some of his physical strength and stamina for some time afterwards.

He loves a good fight and does not complain about blood spatter. He does not enjoy killing for the sake of killing, but the fights he gets into do not always allow him to get out of situations in a good manner.

Previous History
Kyeran was born and raised with the Shoanti Barbarians of the Cinderlands. When he turned 17, he convinced his lover, Sirin, to join him on a trip to the city of Korvosa. He wanted to see the big city, and he wanted her to share this with him. Both his own and Sirin's parents were sceptic, if not disapproving, but they travelled to Korvosa anyway.

Arriving in Korvosa, Kyeran found affordable lodgings and they explored the city and its denizens. One day, Kyeran was out alone as Sirin was feeling under the weather. While Kyeran was gone, Sirin was murdered during what seemed like a break-in.

Kyeran was initially blamed for the murder, but was later declared innocent by the Korvosan Guard. The Shoanti was not so forgiving however, and did not simply accept Kyeran's innocence (the Shoanti are not very trusting of the citizens of Korvosa). They cast him out of the Shoanti, forcing him to think of a new way to spend his days. Even though the Shoanti may have gradually come to accept that he did not butcher his lover, Kyeran is still blamed for not protecting Sirin well enough on his quest for adventure.

Kyeran learned of the leader of the thugs that killed Sirin - a man named Gaedren Lamm. He swore vengeance on Gaedren Lamm and his thugs, so that Sirin may finally rest in peace.

History
During the raid on Gaedren Lamm's lair, Kyeran managed to recover a ring of Sirin's, which he had given her, and which was stolen during her murder.

Kyeran bonded well with Tauk Par, the half-Shoanti bouncer of their usual base of operations, Three Rings Tavern. They were often seen drinking and/or armwrestling in the bar-room.

With the party going to the Cinderlands, Kyeran knows their task is almost impossible, but silently hope that he might still have a chance to prove himself a true Shoanti
