== Appearance and Personality ==
Kenton has golden blonde hair and a slightly tan-to-brown complexion, as a result of his half-Darksider heritage. Kenton's eyes are naturally blue. However, when he uses the full might of his sand mastery powers, his eyes glow with a golden light and his pupils seem to contract or disappear, leaving only the white of his irises.
 
Kenton has lived much of his life challenging authority. He has done it so often that he sometimes instinctively challenges others for the sole purpose of challenging authority, without a greater goal in mind.{{book ref|ws1|4}}

Prior to running the Path, Praxton offered Kenton advancement to a slightly higher rank of Fen if he refused to run the Path. Kenton refused his father's offer and while undertaking the Path, he killed the final [[Sandling]] guardian, something thought impossible, destroying the Path forever.{{book ref|ws1|1}}
