Kezmit has always heard voices. As a child it set him apart from others, an outcast in a land of outcasts. The Spirits of Athas whisper constantly in his mind; oblique instructions, obscure advice, cryptic messages, and outright enigmas, so many voices that it was impossible to determine how to appease them, or even what they want. With age brought clarity, if little, and it became obvious that Kezmit was very important to the spirits and thus took on a mantle of giving aid to those the spirits deemed worthy. This led him to the group determined to fight against Thakok-An, a resistance cell led by Laylon-Ka, similar to those found in the Veiled Alliance. The last solar cycle brought a change: a new voice. Clearer yet more distant, a voice powerful enough to quiet the restless spirits. This voice told him to seek out Li-Am, an underling of Kalid-Ma. Li-Am would be very important in the days to come. Change was coming on the wind to Kalidnay, and both Li-Am and Kezmit would have a role to play, or so the voices say.

Kezmit has had many adventures, in which he…

• helped to defeat the Templar Thakok-An subsequently destroy the Kalidnay in the Gray.

• survived the city of Moil in his attempt to escape the Gray by using the Shadow Gate.

• helped defeat the Soul Collector of the Vernal Grove.

• helped defeat Dregoth in the Shadow Tomb after destroying his Shadow Engine then escaped back to Shadow Kalidnay.

• left behind in Shadow Kalidnay during his attempt to rescue Morg from being controlled by Marisol.
