Kian is a cuddly cactus at his best. He met Silas and co. during his freshman year after letting them sit at his table once and hasn't been able to get rid of them since. He comes off as overly brash and likes it that way holding everyone at arm's length. Despite his rough exterior, Kian's surprisingly great with plants and has a soft spot for maintaining his mother's garden. He spends long hours tending to it, and keeping it in peak condition. 

In the book, Kian is the Jester, Kas. A contracted performer in the small town of Brezah who isn't just the comedic relief but also the head of all gossip in the town. He's overly friendly and knows just about all the dirt on everyone, is he an ally or an enemy? His specialty is picking away at people till they explode then laughing it off at their embarrassment.
