Kent
Kent is a former soldier and hidden descendant of the Seven Generals who organizes the White Stone Hills thieves into a disciplined force and helps Zhang Yang recover Titan equipment and a Dimensional Key fragment. (Chapters 346–355)
Biography
Thunderstorm Castle and the Chaos Realm
Kent leaves Kalin Town to serve in the army and disappears for roughly twenty years, preserving the false identity Joe Smith while leading a bandit force in White Stone Hills. Unlike mercenaries motivated by pay, he is remembered as a soldier who genuinely wanted to protect the nation and its people. When Zhang Yang finds him, Kent agrees to transfer his ancestral Soul Fragment only after the player proves himself through campaigns against rival commanders and recovers the Titan Chest Plate. Kent spends his fortune and years training scattered thieves into an army capable of assaulting Kazalo's stronghold. After killing Kazalo, he takes the Star-Devourer, gives Zhang Yang the promised Dimensional Key fragment and Titan Chest Plate, and commits to rebuilding a public army for the canyon rather than continuing as a bandit chief. (Chapters 346–355)
Appearance and personality
The corpus provides no detailed portrait of Kent, but describes his military bearing through the disciplined force he creates. He is cautious about strangers who know his hidden identity, deeply attached to relics associated with the Seven Generals, and committed to public protection. He honors his bargain after victory and accepts Zhang Yang's refusal to join without resentment. (Chapters 347 and 349–355)
Abilities and gameplay
Kent's clearest capability is military organization: he turns an undisciplined thief population into formations comparable to an official army and leads them in the final assault. He personally fights Kazalo with a sword and survives the boss campaign, but the corpus does not provide a stable skill list, activation mechanics, cooldowns, or full NPC statistics for him. His expertise also lets him recognize the Titan Wall as a powerful imitation rather than the original. (Chapters 351 and 353–355)
Relationships
- Zhang Yang: Kent tests Zhang Yang through linked quests, campaigns beside him, and rewards the successful alliance with relics. He also invites Zhang Yang to help build the new army. (Chapters 349–355)
- Tiffany: A fellow descendant of the Seven Generals whose “Ancient Fragment” belongs to the same Dimensional Key set Kent calls Soul Fragments. They do not meet in the supplied evidence. (Chapters 326–349)
- Whitey: Zhang Yang uses Whitey while traveling between Kent's objectives; the corpus establishes no independent bond between Kent and the mount. (Chapters 346 and 350)
Items
- Titan Chest Plate: A relic Kent receives after Zhang Yang recovers it, then wears during the final campaign and awards to Zhang Yang after Kazalo dies. (Chapters 350, 353, and 355)
- Dimensional Key fragment: Kent's ancestral “Soul Fragment,” transferred to Zhang Yang as promised after the linked campaign receives a perfect rating. (Chapters 349 and 355)
- Star-Devourer: Kazalo's sword, which Kent takes and sheathes after killing him. Its later custody or use is not stated. (Chapter 355)
