Works on the docks in the Bronx. Protective of his cousin. History Ki's mother was a gypsy traveling through the same town as the circus when she fell in love with the strong man performer and abandoned her caravan to follow her heart. The following spring Ki was born, bearing the name of a grandfather he would never know. He was raised among the performers of the circus, his cousin Devan born a year after him was his constant companion and the ragtag collection of people becoming his extended family, the tents and animals his playground. As he grew older it was easy to see that he would inherit his father's massive size and strength and slowly Ki has been taking over more and more of the strong man performances. As pleased as Ki is with the circus life and as much as he loves his makeshift family - both blood and naught - he has recently felt a need to break away and see what life outside of the circus is like. After seeing Devan break away to head to New York to experience such a life, Ki went and pleaded with his parents and aunt and uncle to be afforded the same opportunity. Thinking it wise that Devan have a companion and wishing to give their son and nephew the freedom to become a man on his own terms, Ki is granted his wish. He departed the circus only a week after Devan and has landed in New York in search of his cousin and whatever life in the city might bring him. Most would think that at 6'6" and mostly well toned muscle, Ki would be a brawling sort that looked for trouble at every turn. But the truth is he's an affable, congenial sort who much prefers laughter and conversations to fists. And though he is not the sort to go looking for a fight he isn't likely to back away from one either and is quick to defend that which he feels needs defending. Being raised in the circus among some of the outcasts and freaks of society have taught Ki a tolerance for people of all sorts, a kindness that is belied by his size - those who get to know him find a kind and generous friend. Slow to anger, Ki's long standing patience with what most might find insufferable has been a long standing family amusement. He has a rock steadiness to him that suits him well in both his career and life in general, choosing his words and moments carefully. Ki has a strong devotion to those he loves, family and friends alike, and will do anything for them should they ask. He does have a weakness for a well poured drink and can be lured into a card game easily enough, though his results are mixed at best.
