Chen Kitay

"Power dictates acceptability."

Chen Kitay was the son of the Defence Minister of Nikara and one of Fang Runin's closest friends.

Early Life
Kitay grew up in Sinegard, where his family resides in the prosperous Jade District. He was a member of the prominent House of Chen, with their house colours being burgundy and gold. His father is the Defense Minister of Nikara, serving as the right hand man of Empress Su Daji. During his childhood, he spent a lot of time with Yin Nezha and Sring Venka, as they shared the same tutor.

Possessing an eidetic memory and great intelligence, Kitay achieved the highest Keju score of his year in the Sinegard Municipality, the most competitive testing region in Nikara. This was especially impressive because he took the examination one year early, making Kitay younger than most of his classmates.

Kitay admitted to Rin that he would rather be at Yuelu Mountain studying to become a scholar, but was expected to join Sinegard Academy because he is the family's only son. He had one older sister, Kinata.

At Sinegard Academy
Kitay quickly became good friends with Rin during his first year at Sinegard Academy. He excelled in his classes and often placed at the top in Strategy and Linguistics. At the end of their first year, Kitay accepted Master Irjah's offer and pledged to study Strategy.

He revealed early on that he wanted to serve the Second Division upon graduation, as he wanted to be a part of the Army Intelligence.

After Sinegard
During the battle of Sinegard Rin and Kitay were separated but came out mostly in tact. After confronting Rin about her powers and getting no answer he is sent with the second division to Golyn Niis, where he would survive. He found Rin, though their friendship was in question due to irreconcilable moral differences.

Later, Kitay was left with the Pirate Queen, Moag in Ankhiluun to do their taxes, until Rin told the Republic to pick him up. At first, he was hesitant to join due to his remaining loyalty to Su Daji, but joined once he learned of his father's death.

In the Republic, he helped strategize for the battles, but he disapproved of the Republic's cruel methods.

Physical Description
Kitay was described to be scrawny and freckled with enormous ears. He was also described earlier as having wiry hair.
