A hidden heir of the Salic line, with the backing of the Cargan family Kieran has come forward to assume the Salic's seat on the council. A 'gift' from the Leader has left the young man far more confident and authoritative, but also prone to occasional possession by the God.

In recent months Kieran has been raised to the position of Mayor of Acryn, thanks to the backing of the influential Cargan family and his own growing gifts of leadership.
