Lestus Kyte

Lestus Kyte was once a police constable for the Graal Metropolitan Police Department but was caught up in a corruption scandal along with his sergeant, and friend, Kale Median that they were forced to flee Graal because Kale refused to partake in the scandal. Ever the pessimist, Lestus considers himself the voice of reason in Kale's ear. He ventured to Graal after his sister, Shaleen Kyte, was taken into slavery within the city - a past he has not yet revealed to his friends.

Personality
Lestus is pessimistic, sarcastic, rude and often deliberately obnoxious. He would consider himself a realist while he considers Kale Median to be naïve. He sees the world as 'dog eat dog' and sees the corruption of Graal not only natural but a useful tool. However since joining up with Kale he has shown his more heroic side, allowing his natural love of his close friends and family to extend to others in need. Above all he values his family. He would never admit his admiration for Kale. He has absolute trust in Kale as a person and friend but still keeps a lot of his feelings hidden, unlike Kale who wears his feelings on his sleeve.

Rifle
Lestus uses a long, wooden rifle with gold filigree around the butt. Although meant for long range shooting, the rifle has a bayonet attached at the end for close quarters protection.

Pistol
He also possesses a pistol made of wood and similar gold filigree to match the rifle. While the rifle is good for extreme ranges, the pistol is meant for closer targets. The pistol is powerful enough to take a man off his feet when shot, but it also has a strong kickback on the user.

History
Lestus Kyte came from a large, close-knit family that instilled him with a deep sense of both loyalty and protectiveness over that family. He was born in the town of Tersia within the Dark Zone, though two of his older sisters were living at the Yansensen Temple - a temple where only members, both close and distant, of the vast Yansensen family could reside. When one of his older sisters, Shaleen Kyte, travelled to Graal news soon came back that she had been taken into slavery. Though quite young at the time, Lestus vowed to find her and free her. To this end he dedicated himself to law and soon found himself as a police constable for the Graal Metropolitan Police Department. After a few years of service he was assigned to a unit under the newly appointed sergeant Kale Median. Originally Lestus himself had been expected to fill the role of sergeant but a combination of exemplary performance and a father as the Chief of Police got Kale the job instead. He wasn't bitter, however. Instead he was relieved that he wouldn't have to shoulder the responsibility.

In all his years working in Graal he had found no trace of his sister. The slave trade was common and trafficking people left little paperwork. When his unit became embroiled in a case of corruption, Kale Median, who Lestus believed to be utterly naïve to the real world, discovered that his father was corrupt and under the thumb of the banks. Kale refused to keep silent on the issue and was forced to flee from Graal. Lestus, having become attached to Kale's optimism, joined him into The Wastes.
