Kaylid Kahn, the third prince of the Autumn Dynasty, is a figure shrouded in both cunning and melancholy. Born to Bronzus Khan, the Autumn Lord, and Torria Lezzira, the First Lady, Kaylid is one of eighty sons, each vying for power and prestige in a realm perpetually threatened by the warring seasons. At twenty-eight years old, Kaylid stands tall and lean, his sharp features framed by long, auburn hair that cascades down his shoulders, a testament to his autumnal heritage. His eyes, a deep amber, often betray the turmoil within, a legacy of the trauma he endured as a youth. His attire, a blend of practicality and nobility, consists of dark leathers adorned with bronze and gold, symbolizing his status and readiness for the constant threats against his dynasty.
Kaylid's path to princedom was marked by a blend of cleverness and what some might call cowardice. During the rut, a brutal competition among the sons of the Autumn Lord, Kaylid secured his title through strategic withdrawal and manipulation, avoiding the fate of castration that befell his less fortunate brothers. Yet, his victory was overshadowed by a tragic event in his youth—a fire that claimed the life of a young refugee from the Summer Kingdom, a boy named Liran, whom Kaylid had befriended. The incident, foreseen yet ignored by his father, left Kaylid with a haunting fear of fire and a deep-seated mistrust of those in power.
Driven by a desire to protect his people from the encroaching threats of the other eternal seasons, Kaylid navigates the treacherous political landscape with a cautious demeanor. His voice, often soft and measured, carries a slight lilt, a quirk inherited from his mother, which he uses to his advantage in negotiations and subterfuge. Despite his royal upbringing, Kaylid's experiences have instilled in him a sense of empathy for the downtrodden, though he remains wary of forming deep attachments, fearing another loss like that of Liran.
As he maneuvers through the complexities of his role, Kaylid's ultimate goal is to secure peace for his dynasty. However, his path is fraught with internal and external conflicts. His brothers, resentful of his rise to power, plot against him, while the looming threat of war from the other seasons tests his resolve. Kaylid's journey is one of survival and redemption, as he seeks to overcome his fears and lead his people to a future free from the shadows of eternal conflict.
