Kiin is a Teo sailor and merchant on Sel.[1] His name is based on Aon Kii, meaning "justice." Kiin is Sarene's uncle and the rightful king of Teod. He is also known by the name Dreok Crushthroat from his time as a pirate, though he meant for the name to be Crushedthroat for his scratchy voice.[2]
Attributes and Abilities
Kiin is extremely skilled with his axe--sufficiently so to kill a monk of Dakhor.[2]
He is an extremely skilled cook, able to make cuisine of many countries. The fact that he cooks for his family is abnormal in Arelon, where nobility usually hire cooks to do the job. He fears servants due to the revolution started primarily by servants during the Reod.[1]
History
Kiin was the older brother of Eventeo[1] and rightful king of Teod. He was married to Daora and sired two children, Kaise and Daorn. He acted as a father to Daora's other two children from a different marriage, Lukel and Adien.
He was the infamous pirate Dreok Crushthroat who fought with an axe transcribed with the Aon Reo, which means "punishment." About five years before the Reod, he attempted to take the throne from his brother, attacking Teoras with a fleet of pirates.[3] Though he was older than his brother and therefore the legitimate owner of the throne, his attempt was unsuccessful and he fled the country.
After the failed coup, he took up residence in Kae under the name Kiin.
