Kieran's elven roots left Agenmoor after the first incursion of Galmar barbarians, ultimately settling in Hibernia,  He’s run with Thormot since they were lads.  They worked the same fields and laborious jobs until in Cymru until Thormot had a bit of luck and quickly ascended the ranks of the church.  He's been the faithful companion of Thormot, dabbling in thievery and magicks, until he received a position on the Royal Court of Lygresse.  

Everyone know Kieran is a more powerful magic-user than he let's on.  He contains poweful artifacts, including Drayton's famed Tome of Magic.   He may have the greatest access to spells with the Five Kingdoms, possibly further.  His Medallion of ESP is uses regularly the cull the questionable and traitorous from the court, but he holds a far darker secret. 

During one of their early forays into the dungeons of Cymru, the duo found a small motherlode of treasure.  Thormot, a big tired and wounded, chugged the first potion he could find.  The potion made the cleric eternally loyal to Kieran, pledging his life and career to the man.  Kieran quickly found out the parameters of this permanent enchantment, and it was his motivations that allowed him to ascend of the church ranks so quickly.   And it was ultimately his suggestion to have Thormot accept the position in Lygresse.  Lygresse is riddled with generations of treasures, and Kieran's spell selection, and magic item should make excavations a piece of cake.

When I learned of the existence of Mark Meer's picture of him and Colin Mochrie for a performance of Improvised Dungeons and Dragons back in 2018, it's floated in my drafts of my blog, waiting for me to develop them into something proper.  I have finally completed both characters, and while I probably will never have characters set foot in the Five Kingdoms, there's multiple levels of intrigue going on.
