Kayal Altair

Kayal Altair is the main Protagonist of Legends of Kayal.

The son of Talacir the great mercenary, Kayal is a strong competent swordsman, trained from a young age.

Appearance
As Kayal hails from the tropical island kingdom of Ipracia he has tanned skin but unlike his people, who have dark hair and dark eyes, Kayal and his family have dark red hair and light blue eyes. Kayal has a muscular build but is rather short for his age (much to his annoyance).

Early in chapter 2 Kayals' hair has gotten longer and he's looking more disheveled the longer he's stuck at sea.

Personality
Kayal is a confident, strong willed young man but can be rather hot headed, stubborn and easily agitated. Kayal has shown to have a rather cocky side to him, claiming that he was skilled enough to take on anyone on the Titan in a duel.

Fighting style and weaponry
Kayal is a very competent fighter, especially for his young age. Like his father Kayal is naturally talented at fighting and has been trained daily by Talacir and Iram from a young age.

Kayal's preferred weapon is the longsword, although he has been trained in hand-to-hand combat and likes to use a variety of weapons like when he fought Darag 'Gold Tooth' with a two-handed club when he lost his sword.

Unlike his sister who likes to focus on fighting with dexterity and finesse Kayal fights more with strength and raw power.

Talacir Altair
Kayal has an immense amount of respect and admiration for his father, he strives to be a powerful fighter just like him and earn his fathers approval, that had however a negative effect on him early on in the comic when Kayal became more and more frustrated after losing multiple duels to his rival Arimor and feared that his father wouldn't be proud of him if he kept losing, a fear that was immediately dismissed by Talacir, who told his son that he loved him and his sister immensely and would always be proud of them no matter what.

Although Kayal does love and respect his father he does have a cheeky side to him, rarely calling his father by his name, often calling him pops, old man and other similar nicknames.

Dalia Altair
Kayals' older twin siser (born a few minutes ahead of him, a fact she likes to rub in his face). Although they have a deep sibling rivalry between them when it comes to who is the better fighter or who is Talacirs' favorite, Kayal deeply cares for his sister and would do anything for her.

Since they are both hot-headed and quick to anger they often fight and argue over pointless things, which most often ends in their father or Iram scolding them. When they get mad at each other they use insulting nicknames for each other, Kayal calls Dalia a Marion; a type of small, slimy blob of a fish, and Dalia calls him Flingo; a species of a fat bird that can't fly.

When they aren't fighting each other they make a powerful team when fighting together, managing to even fight and wound Darag 'Gold Tooth', a feat that not many have accomplished.

Arimor Rosiante
Arimor is kayals' long term rival and best friend, and since he is slightly older than kayal and has been travelling with their father ever since Arimor was young, he's kind of an older brother to the siblings.

Since he has a 3 year head start of the siblings he remains much stronger than them and is so far undefeated when it comes to their many duels, much to the twins annoyance.

Iram Bristol
As Iram is Talacirs childhood friend and has been with Kayal and his sister ever since they were born he's kind of an uncle to the twins. Like their father, Iram has been training the twins since they were young in the art of hand-to-hand combat and other fighting techniques.

Other Griffin Guild Members
Although the comic hasn't shown Kayal hanging out with the crew often he still values them as close friends and family, and he speaks highly of them all since he's known them all since he was young.
