[A to Z April] K is for Kay Cynyrsson, Sir (npc)

http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/

Sir Kay Cynyrsson was born as the bastard brother to the King, as his mother was assaulted by the previous king, known as Nayrum the Sinner. He was never officially recognized as king-spawn and took after his mother’s family in appearance, although all in the kingdom know who he is. The current king, his half-brother, has privately recognized the kinship with Sir Kay, knighted him, and even takes care of Kay’s mother in her dotage. Kay now uses an altered version of the previous king’s nickname as his surname; he serves with no complaint from the King (although many members of the court are scandalized by the effrontery).

At Kay’s birth, a seer prophesied that Kay would forever be emotionally cold and withdrawn. It was also said that he would be without peer in his stubbornness. The prophecy continued that he would be nearly impervious to harm throughout his life, especially from fire or magic, that he could cast fire from his hands, that he would need little sleep, and that he would grow as tall as the trees. It was also said that Kay’s sword would be deadly, and any man merely wounded by a blow from Kay’s sword would find the wound impossible to heal.

Grown now, many of the prophecies have been found to be at least partially true (if even only by ownership of magical items). Kay is over 7-and-a-half feet tall with the rest of him in proportion to his height; he is a truly massive man. Others find him extraordinarily attractive, although his near-constant irritability and pride are off-putting to most. He has a flawless complexion; any wound he suffers does not scar.With hazel eyes and red hair along with his size, he is the center of attention in any crowd.

Sir Kay is deeply religious, recognizing several gods’ authority, but serves no one but the King. He is extremely efficient and dangerous in battle, annoyed by sycophants, fools, and those he perceives to lack honor.
