(Wasn't sure where to put that Sarene line, but where it was wasn't the right place either.) |

▲Kiin was the older brother of [[Eventeo]]{{book ref|Elantris|5}} and rightful king of [[Teod]]. He should have inherited the throne, but he wasted his youth on pleasure voyages and exploration, visiting foreign ports while his little brother stayed behind and helped rule the kingdom. Their father was ailing, and often Eventeo would have to hold court for him and attend the other tasks of king.{{cite}}
Eventeo won the battle, though only barely. Kiin barely escaped with his life, and went to Arelon to recoup and plan his next invasion. However, he fell in love with Daora, and slowly began to

When Sarene arrived in Arelon, Kiin went to welcome her and invited her to eat at his house.{{book ref|elantris|5}} He introduced her to his children and suggested that Sarene stay in his house, which she declined.{{book ref|elantris|8}} Kiin and Lukel explained the political situation to Sarene and introduced her to the other members of Raoden's resistance group.{{book ref|elantris|8}}{{book ref|elantris|11}}
== Relationships ==
=== Sarene ===
When [[Sarene]] was a little girl, she couldn't pronounce "Uncle Kiin," and nicknamed him "Hunkey Kay." She had a vague idea that he was a merchant because of the gifts he always had for her when he visited in between trips. Her understanding of his absence was that he left on a voyage like any other and ended up settling on some far island. After Sarene comes to [[Arelon]] to wed [[Raoden]], she reconnects with Kiin.{{book ref|elantris|5}}
=== Eventeo ===
Kiin is the older brother of [[Eventeo]]. After Eventeo being crowned king, the two fought and eventually Kiin lost and was banished. The two did not communicate after that event despite Kiin only moving as far as Arelon, even after Kiin eventually lost his hard edge.{{book ref|Elantris|58}}{{wob ref|2194}}
=== Daora ===
▲Kiin was popular with the military men, however, because of the heroic figure he cut. He was the adventuring sailor, while Eventeo was a scholarly bureaucrat. Over the next few years, Kiin managed to gather a naval force from pirates, deserters from Eventeo's armies, and mercenary forces. It was during this time he nearly died to the accident that crushed his throat. He took the name "Dreok," after Aon Reo("punishment."), and sailed against Teod, trying to take the throne by force. He fought with an axe transcribed with the [[Aon#Reo|Aon Reo]].{{cite}}
Shortly after moving to Arelon, Kiin fell in love with Daora. They eventually married and had two children.{{book ref|Elantris|5}}
▲Eventeo won the battle, though only barely. Kiin barely escaped with his life, and went to Arelon to recoup and plan his next invasion. However, he fell in love with Daora, and slowly began to loose his hard edge.{{wob ref|2194}} He and [[Daora]] sired two children, [[Kaise]] and [[Daorn]]. He acted as a father to Daora's other two children from a different marriage, [[Lukel]] and [[Adien]]. Kiin became a merchant and using his experience from his travels, Kiin was very successful.{{cite}}
=== Children ===
▲Kaise was borne around the time of the [[Reod]]. Daora and Kiin were horrified of the violent servant uprising in the Reod, and never hired servants again. As Kiin was very rich, he was offered a title by Iadon multiple times, but he always refused it. Daorn was born about two years after the Reod. Three years later, Adien was taken by the Shaod. Unwilling to have him thrown into the city, the family concealed Adien's condition with makeup and kept him close to home.{{cite}}
Kiin and Daora had two children together, [[Kaise]] and [[Daorn]]. In addition, Daora had two children from a previous marriage, [[Lukel]] and [[Adien]], who Kiin acts as a father towards.{{book ref|Elantris|5}}
