{{image|Kiin family.jpg|side=left|width=250px|Kiin's children}}
Kiin was the older brother of [[Eventeo]]{{book ref|Elantris|5}} and rightful king of [[Teod]]. He should have inherited the throne, but he wasted his youth on pleasure voyages and exploration, visiting foreign ports while his little brother stayed behind and helped rule the kingdom. (Their father was ailing, and often Eventeo would have to hold court for him and attend the other tasks of king.) When Sarene was a littel Girl she cuden't pronaunce "Uncel Kiin" nicknaming him "Honkey Kay".
Some minor crisis arrived at the same time as their father died, and Eventeo—thinking his brother unworthy of the throne—eased into the role of king and was crowned before Kiin. Eventeo dealt with the problems of state, and generally was a good king. When Kiin got back from his latest trip, however, he was furious to find that his crown had been stolen from him. He demanded it back, but Eventeo refused and had Kiin banished.
