Wei Mon Keth is a resident of Sacred Valley and a member of the Wei Clan.

Appearance

Wei Mon Keth is a large, intimidating man, described as “looming like a mountain” over his son and appearing like a “statue of an ancient guardian.”

Personality

Keth, like most members of the Wei clan, follows their words, “honor by any means.” When his family was faced with shame and dishonor due to the actions of his son, he sought to redirect that dishonor on the Shi family through a plot. He is a proud man, and reacts with anger in the face of embarrassment.

Biography

After the actions of his son, Wei Mon Teris placed Wei Shi Lindon at risk of death by the hands of the remnant of an Ancestral Orus Tree, Teris was set to receive punishment in the form of public lashings. Keth, having already dealt his own punishment for his son’s cowardice, turned his mind to lessening the dishonor of his family through a plot to shame the Shi family by engineering a duel between his daughter Wei Mon Eri and Lindon. His gambit would have likely been shut down by the First Elder were it not for Wei Shi Jaran rising to the bait.

On the day of the duel, Lindon proposed to fight Keth rather than Eri. By suggesting this option in a way that appeared to allow both Mon and Wei families to maintain their honor, at the cost of Lindon’s personal humiliation, Keth agreed to an exchange of blows, with Lindon to strike first.

Though Lindon violated the rules of their duel by striking twice with the Empty Palm technique and surrendered the loss accordingly, Keth still reacted angrily to the humiliation of losing his footing to the punches of an Unsouled child. At the taunting of Shi Jaran, he moved as though to strike, before being subdued by the First Elder and placed in isolation as punishment.

Path Techniques

Wei Mon Keth follows the Path of the White Fox, though his specific technique path in the manner of Sacred Valley is not explicitly stated.

When attempting to strike down Wei Shi Jaran after his duel with Lindon he condensed madra around his hand in the form of spinning balls of foxfire, the traditional technique of Wei Strikers. However, during the same fight he flowed forward across the courtyard in a single step that appears to be an enforcer technique, potentially highlighting the falsehood in the Sacred Valley understanding of paths as being dedicated to a single type of technique.
