Kesh

Kesh is known Ethra wide for his skills as a linguist, and for being notoriously difficult to get rid of. He is also one of few Fire Vohlefs not banished to Kraton.

Unique Traits

 * Fire Vohlef: Kesh has four tusks, and extremely coarse fur. Unlike some fire vohlefs however he has no bald patches (which he prides himself in.)
 * Mutant: He was born with two mutations, being both bipedal and more feline in appearance. Because of this he does not have the deeper chest usually present in fire vohlefs. His magic does suffer because of this however.

Magic
As a fire vohlef, Kesh has the natural ability to create fire. However due to his mutation his chest does not have the space required for the secondary set of lungs fire vohlefs usually posses.

With reduced lung capacity, he can't create large flames and is incapable of a fire vohlefs signature flamethrower ability.

Instead he opts to use his fire for simpler means such as torches and food preparation.

Exile on Kraton
Being born a fire vohlef, Kesh was instantly banished to Kraton. He was quickly adopted by an elderly couple, Asha'Vestar and Tekka'Vestar.

There weren't many other pups his age, so Kesh received a very one-on-one tutelage.

Vohlefs
As with all fire vohlefs, at birth his own species disowned him. This has left him with a bitter taste towards all vohlefs. They have only started to acknowledge his worth now that he is one of the few creatures who can translate between all species.

Serpentines
As a whole, Kesh is still wary of them. But he has found they are actually extremely knowledgeable.

Humans
Kesh has fallen in love with the human race, and due to his smaller stature and cat like features human children adore him. He spends most of his time living among human colonies.

Trivia

 * He enjoys using his knowledge of serpentine as a scare tactic.
 * Most people doubt he actually knows the language and is just imitating the sounds. That doesn't make them any less terrified however.
 * Despite being a vohlef, common is actually his first language.
 * Human society has always been more interesting to him than Ethorian.
 * He does have trouble separating their recent history from their actual historical events.
