December 31, 2001:
You see before you a remarkedly tall elf. So tall, in fact, you wonder if perhaps he has a little giant, or troll blood running through his veins. But how could that be? When you look upon his face you see nothing but the perfection and beauty that is only achievable in the Ancient Bloodlines of elves.
Upon further investigation, other remarkable things bring themselves to your attention. For instance, the torc which hangs from his neck...you have never seen anything quite like it. The serpents are so distinct, so unique. The onyx gemstones making up the eyes of each serpent are so peculiar, you wonder if they were found, or created by some higher power.
Kethran has a special twinkle in his eye.

Character History:

(Written for entry into the Chosen of Fate)
Kethran is a middle aged, tall elf, who currently resides in the city of Safehaven. There was a point in his life when all that mattered to him was destruction and chaos. Durring this time, he was regarded by many to be of fair power, but of enormous potential. He was slated to be an Ordained Mortal of Chaos, perhaps. Those days are over. The immortal he then worshiped, no longer accepts worship in those ways, and, as far as is known, is no longer even seen in the realm. Kethran wandered wide and far after this time. His whereabouts, and the things he did....should not, and will not be discussed. He has come to a new point. A point in which he wishes only harmony, only to work towards bettering himself, and others. Not only bettering his abilities, but his mind, as well.

Trivia:

• Kethran admitted on several occaisions that he would never dare undertake one of the dreaded Triat Mastery Quests, because he knew Cordir would make him sacrifice that which was most dear to him: His hoardes of equipment!
• Kethran is specifically mentioned in the Temple of Cordir, in the Names.
• Kethran was sponsored into Fate by Noctus.
• Kethran's Geasa included: I vow to never destroy any equipment with positive effects, rather, I will always offer it to the Chosen, or place it into the donation pit. I vow to never drink from any source, in order to quench my thirst, other than from a fresh, clear spring. I vow to identify equipment for the Chosen, as quickly as I might return from my explorations, whenever they ask (unless I am leaving the realm, when they ask).
• Kethran was the 62nd person to join the Chosen of Fate.
• Kethran earned a custom set of restrings at level 50, but throughout his years, also gained a number of others, including: <worn around neck> (Artifact magic) a torc of silver and onyx serpent knotwork
