Ky Kiske

Ky Kiske

Ky is straightforwardly honest and sincere in all aspects of his life, including his work, relationships, and morals. A devout advocate of justice, his attitude toward helping the weak is exemplary, and some might find him too altruistic.
On the other hand, he can be inflexible and excessively loathes anything that disturbs the rules and order. Although his view has broadened ever since he assumed his position as the First King, there is still a naive side of him that causes him to act out of emotion.

A true prodigy, Ky showed great talent as a swordsman and was well-liked by the people around him. By the age of 16, he was promoted to the rank of Captain within the Sacred Order of Holy Knights. Although the Order was disbanded after the Crusades, he continued his life of public service by entering the International Police Force. There were numerous occasions when he clashed with Sol due to differences between their ideals.

During this time, Ky truly believed that the ideal of justice encompassed all beings equally. However, during the Second Holy Order Selection Tournament, his encounter with Justice made him question his own unwavering belief in righteousness.

"I bring destruction on humankind to fulfill the purpose of my creation. That is my justice."

During the first Gear's final moment, her last words made him realize that his belief was heavily prejudiced by the convenience of humankind and made him question the true meaning of justice.

Not long after the tournament's dramatic conclusion, rumors of a Gear named "Dizzy," who did not wish to harm humans, began to circulate. His encounter with Dizzy made him reevaluate his own iron-clad view of the world once again. As time passed, the two fell in love, and their son Sin was born. Through understanding love, Ky rose from being a leader who commands to a king who leads his country, gaining more popularity than ever before.
