Kessel, or Kes as he likes to be called, never meant to be stuck in the city. Originally from a wandering Shoanti Tribe he had always planned his life around the idea of being a nomad for as long as he lived. Things changed when he decided to spend a couple of weeks in Korvosa.

While staying in the city, he began to have an intimate relationship with a pretty barmaid by the name of Taliana Rasolin. He truly felt a connection to the woman and she delayed his stay for several weeks. Then his stay would be delayed permanently when she came confessed to him that she was pregnant with his child. Honor was not a priority to Kes, but even he could not bring himself to abandon the woman with his child growing inside her belly, and so arranged to make a permanent move into the city.

Things went downhill from there. First the couple fell heavily into debt. Kes had never really nailed down city life, and his trouble with the concept of finances led them into hot water. A powerful gang began to harass Taliana and himself as the day of birth grew near.

The day arrived with both joy and tragedy. Taliana gave birth to a beautiful little girl, but perished from the exertion of childbirth. Kes was crushed, but if there is one trait that defines Kes it is perseverance. He picked up his shattered emotions, named his daughter Lenna Taliana Bargone, and moved on with his life.

The debt he was in was handled when Kes offered his services to the gang as an enforcer to pay them off, as long as his little girl was taken care of it didn't matter to him what his work entailed. He soon gained a reputation for his unwavering nature and some began rumoring that he was so tough that even death would have trouble coming for this one.

His arrangement worked out for years, with Kes eventually paying off his debts. Kes continued to work for the gang as it had become a life he was used to. This did not sit well with his then 7 Year Old girl. Their ensuing argument was hear by half of old town, and she said things to him that cut him more deeply than she, or even he at the time, knew “You are a monster! “ “The men you hurt have children just like me! You only care about you though!”.

Kes left his home in a bad mood the next day to continue his work for the gang, and upon returning home that night found his home empty. He frantically began searching for Lenna, but could not find her anywhere. For days he ignored his duties for the gang and began to question neighbors, friends, anyone who might know something of what happened to Lenna.

Then the gang came calling on him and ‘Politely’ asked him to give up this stupid quest of his and return to work, because if he didn’t, his life could get a whole lot worse. Kes ‘politely’ punched the head thug in the face. The following skirmish was quick and bloody leaving only Kes alive.

He continued on his trail of investigation but has only managed to turn up one thing, a name, Gaedren Lamm. Despite months of searching, he still hasn’t tracked down the despicable lowlife, and finding a safe place to rest is becoming more and more difficult as his former friends inside the gang hunt him down every chance they get.

Kes won’t give up though, he never does.

Kes shares many of the common features of his people. He is large, bald, and generally an imposing figure. He has green eyes that shine with his defiant nature, and multiple scars mark his chest, arms, and legs. A particularly nasty scar crosses his cheek, giving him a rather intimidating appearance. Kes doesn’t take well to fashion, preferring function over form, and is almost always seen with his armor donned and a solid set of black travelling pants and boots on.

Kes is a very stubborn man. He doesn’t concede the point when he’s obviously wrong, and tends to be a annoyance when planning strategies (My way or the highway mentality). Kes thinks only of himself and what’s important to him first and foremost, the rest be damned, and tends to appear very self centered. There are some quirks to his personality however as listed below. Lenna is the only exception to this rule.

Haunted – Kes often thinks back to his last conversation with his daughter and is shamed. He deeply wishes he had told her how much he loves her instead of the harsh words he used on her. The words she had for him however are even more troubling, and now these thoughts, these damnable thought about being more than the man he was, won’t get themselves unstuck from his head.

Enemies – His former gang members hunt him for his audacity to dare leave the gang in such a fashion. Kes knows full well he can’t stand against the might of the entire gang alone. This normally wouldn’t stop him from killing as many of the miserable scum as he could before finally falling, but Kes need to make sure Lenna is safe, and that is what’s important now.

Unrelenting – The words retreat, give up, run etc. all don’t exist to Kes. He never gives up when he sets his eyes on a target, even if it means death. Once again the only person who can make him feel differently is Lenna.
