Kidan Doven

Kidan Doven was once a gifted scholar of the arcane arts who sought to bridge the mortal realm with the creatures of the Inwa system—a parallel dimension teeming with primal beasts. During a catastrophic summoning ritual gone wrong, the barrier between worlds fractured, and Kidan's body became a permanent conduit for interdimensional energy, scarring his arm and warping his hand into something no longer entirely human. The mask he wears was crafted to contain the overwhelming sensory visions that flood his mind whenever the Inwa system pulses with activity, its yellow markings serving as focal points to channel the chaos. Rather than viewing his curse as a tragedy, Kidan embraced it with dark pragmatism, founding the Yellows setembers—a militant order dedicated to harnessing corrupted creatures as tools for imposing order through controlled chaos. His creatures arrive twisted and malformed, their forms barely holding together in the material world, yet Kidan commands them with surgical precision, using their very instability as a weapon against those who oppose his vision. Beneath his sardonic wit and cryptic demeanor lies a man who has rationalized that suffering and corruption are merely the price of progress, and he will stop at nothing to prove that even broken things can be made useful.
