Notes about Sir Kaye:
Sir Kaye started out to be a very promising, happy and just plain normal young man. He had shown his worth from a young age, and became a Knight of Camelot, with all the honors and responsibilities attached to it, though he always showed more interest in tactics than in the actual fighting or in tournaments. Other than a dedicated son who wanted to make his father proud, he also was a loving elder brother to his younger sister Rhiannon. Whenever he could, he rode back on his family’s estate to be with her, or he asked for her presence at various feasts. Knowing her to be quite the pretty young girl, he always made sure to never leave her wandering alone, even though she often demanded to be a little by herself, especially when she collected herbs.
One day, when Rhiannon had just turned seventeen, he had promised to accompany her to an early morning stroll deep into the woods, where she wanted to find a few special and rare plants. But the night before, Kaye had been out drinking with some fellow knights and in the morning couldn’t leave the bed for a massive hangover. He simply overslept and thus Rhiannon went into the forest alone – and never came back.
Horror-struck and frantic, Kaye launched search-parties for days and weeks to come, but Rhiannon was never found. This changed Kaye from a happy and bright young man into a bitter, hateful being. He hated the world for taking away the person he had loved so much, but most of all he hated himself. Year after year passed, and soon the world forgot about Rhiannon’s existance, but Kaye never could.
He never married and kept on serving his king and country, but all spirit had vanished from his heart. He kept his sharp mind and once he grew older became a valued advisor, but he didn’t have many friends and sought none.
He carried on to be a bitter loner, not caring if the young knights and guards called him ‘Sir Sourface’ behind his back – until one day he was called to his door to encounter a pretty washed-up, but determined young woman who claimed to be his niece: Lady Rhiannon’s daughter and heir to the throne of a kingdom he had never heard of. And she brought him what he had never dared to hope for: news and memories of his siter, and partly: his life.
