Kenri is the son of a Female Paladin of Iomedae, and a Male cleric of Desna. He doesn't know their names, and hasn't really met them.
Sworn to the crusades, his parents fell in love, and were married on the trail. It was a whirlwind affair, but life is short near the 'wound.
They were stationed at a small fort in the Worldwound itself, dangerous territory. It proved itself so, for the fort was over run and most of the people stationed there were killed. A very pregnant Maddie Halid, and wounded Kaller Brookmere, found themselves on the run and alone save for an elderly Eldritch Knight named Jeknar Kenri III.
The stress of escaping caused Maddie to go into labor. Sadly this was their undoing. Caught by the minions of Deskari, Maddie was killed, before she could give birth. Using the last of his magics, Jeknar got them away, Kaller dragging Maddie's body with them.
Jeknar begged Kaller to leave her, as she was dead, but in his grief Kaller would not. He drained the last of his spells to resurrect Maddie.
Alas, things did not work out this way. Mayhap Desna saw something of the future and decided it thus, or the Worldwound warped the magic, but Maddie remained dead. The child however was born and was alive.
Even consumed with grief Kaller knew that there was no place for a baby to survive in the 'wound unprotected, so he begged a boon from his Goddess.
Desna granted his wish, and Jeknar and the baby Kenri were transported to the city of Absalom.
Jeknar tried to raise the boy, but was never a great parent. Absent for months on end, on missions for the Pathfinders.
He is still out there somewhere, questing for something. When he returns Kenri is cordial, but they aren't very close.
Being raised by Pathfinders, Kenri feels closer to the lodge Venture Captains than he does to his 'uncle' Jeknar. Now he needs to return the favor and become a member in good standing of the Pathfinders.
Now he must complete his Confirmation.
