Sandviper Kral
Sandviper Kral
Sandviper Kral is the heir to Gokren, leader of the Sandviper sect in the Desolate Wilds, in western Blackflame Empire. He is a Highgold on the Path of the Sandviper. He is a key character in book two, Soulsmith.
Relationships
Kral is the son of Sandviper Gokren, the leader of the Sandviper Sect. Kral takes up temporary leadership when his father goes off on a hunting trip. He is a gregarious social animal with a following. He is a friend and ally of Jai Long. Kral is kind to Jai Chen. He sees young Lindon as negligible, not worthy of a moment’s consideration.
Despite joint inclusion in the Five Factions Alliance, Sandvipers have been feuding with the Fisher Sect for a long time — it’s an ancestral enmity.
Sandvipers are allied with the Jai Clan. Or they were. . .
Appearance
Kral is about the same age as Jai Long in book #2, about twenty-two. He is a big muscular guy, brimming with testosterone and charisma.
Personality
Kral is a gregarious social animal with a following. Jai Long regards him as a friend, but is not blind to his flaws — short sighted, foolish, self-interested.
Iron body & Path
Kral is an Highgold with a Sandviper Iron body, basically the same as Lindon’s Bloodforged Iron body, although Lindon took his venom up straight, no chasers.
