Description: Kenntin is a lying façade. Small, chubby, and with a piggish face, not many blessings were bestowed upon this man. However, whatever the genetic lottery took from him he gained through work. Wealth and status surround this man, who carries himself with poise and dignity worth of admiration and respect. He is, what people often call, a self-made man, although he's humble enough to deny such statement.
Kenntin was born into nothingness and without any silver spoons to feed him. Even as young boy, his strength and athletic capacity was null, and any work requiring manual skill surpassed him. Through observation and wit, Kenntin learned to deal with people instead. 'It doesn't matter what you do or think you do, it is all about who you are perceived to be' he often quotes. Instead of manual labor, he began his career as a herald for 'dame' clubs, fetching clients in the few sketchy Melrathi mean quarters. Through that, he developed his speech and transitioned to work as a negotiator for hire. Wealth chased after him, and through some further refinement of his art and his manners, he got involved, naturally, into politics.
For some arcs, Kenntin has been living in Fensalir, wherein he 'oversees' things for the Circle, or so he claims. Nobody knows who he works for, but he is often found wandering highly secured areas and dealing with high-ranking military officials. Thus, he is always surrounded with influential people. However, unlike them, Kenntin does not mind interacting with the common citizen, which makes him the man to find if one needs a favor or to get in touch with someone uncommon. Besides that, he's easy to talk to, there's some jovial energy to him, and he's fond of the exotic and expensive.
