== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Kenton is the youngest son of Lord Mastrell [[Praxton]]. Despite none of his siblings having showed any ability to master sand, Kenton, ten years old at the time,{{book ref|ws1ws|6|review=yes}} attempted to join the Diem. He was the last in his group to be tested and barely managed to turn his sand black. Praxton tried to stop Kenton from entering the Diem telling him that he had no talent for mastery, but Kenton argued with him, saying that the law says he has enough. Reluctantly, Praxton allowed his son to join the Diem.{{book ref|ws|1|review=yes}}
 
Kenton was only able to control one ribbon, and trained himself to become extremely skilled at using a single ribbon of sand. He refused advancement to the lowest rank of underfen four times, since accepting it would mean being relegated to that rank permanently.{{book ref|ws|1|review=yes}}
=== The Mastrell's Path ===

When he was eighteen years old{{book ref|ws1ws|6|review=yes}} he insisted on running the [[Mastrell's Path]] to prove that he could do anything a Mastrell could do, and so deserved to be elevated to that rank. Prior to running the Path, Praxton offered Kenton advancement to a slightly higher rank of Fen if he wouldn't run the Path. Kenton refused his father's offer and while undertaking the Path, he killed the [[Sandling]] guardian, something thought impossible, destroying the Path forever.{{book ref|ws|1|review=yes}}
 
After Kenton's feat during the Path, his father was furious and once again offered Kenton the rank of Underfen. Kenton again refused and Praxton granted him the title of Mastrell. He explained to Kenton that the rest of the Diem would hate him for it.{{book ref|ws|2|review=yes}}
He parted from Khriss after arriving in Kezare. He went to the Diem where he was found by [[Dirin]], who informed him that [[Drile]], the highest ranked Sand Master, was speaking for the [[Diem]] before the [[Taishin]]. Kenton immediately went to the Taishin to argue against what he thought was Drile's appointment to Lord Mastrell. While on his way there he discovered he had regained the ability to master sand, and remarkably he could now command three ribbons. Kenton was named acting Lord Mastrell, since he was the only surviving person holding the title of Mastrell. He argued for the Diem's survival to the Taishin when they attempted to dissolve it. He was given two weeks to attempt to change the minds of the heads of the other seven Professions.{{book ref|ws|5|review=yes}}
 
After he returned to the Diem he confronted Drile. Each accused the other of being the Kerztian traitor. A short fight with sand followed and Drile fled. [[Aarik]] arrived at the Diem, looking for a place to stay after returning from Darkside. The next day Khriss travelled to the Diem to discover that Kenton was not only a "sand mage," but the leader of the Diem.{{book ref|ws1ws|6|review=yes}} After explaining the situation to Khriss, he was confronted by [[Ais]], a [[trackt]] sent by the Lady Judge, ostensibly to protect him.
