He threatened her and demanded that she take him to the Scorpion, telling her the ship smuggling supplies to the Swamp City would be boarded, its crew weighted and thrown into the ocean. He also found Naane in one of the upstairs rooms. With a gang of soldiers, he raided the Journeyman and arrested Benrime Salmin as a rebel sympathiser. They went their separate ways without Kian realising he had just spoken to a senior member of the Rebels.Īfter killing two rebels and interrogating a Zhid at swordpoint, Kian finally got a lead on the Scorpion that took him to the Journeyman Inn. Unfortunately, the woman happened to be April Ryan, and she gave him a piece of her mind. Nevertheless, he decided to ask her why the Marcurians seemed so dissatisfied with the Azadi after everything the Empire had done, including ridding Marcuria of the Tyren. Believing they had met before, he spoke to her but soon realised his mistake. Kian headed back to the city, but met a woman on her way to the Keep to whom he felt inexplicably drawn. Kian went to the prison to interrogate her, but decided she was harmless and argued for her release, although Warden Murron insisted he must observe protocol and send her to Sadir for trial. She was promptly arrested by the Azadi as a witch and hauled off to Friars keep. During his investigation, a Young woman appeared out of nowhere in the Marcuria marketplace. Faced with the reality of the Magic Ghetto, the attitude of his fellow soldiers and the dissatisfaction of the citizenry, he began to ponder the true reason the Goddess might have had in sending him to Marcuria. Kian began tracking the Scorpion down, but increasingly found his head turned by the Marcurians. Commander Vamon arrived soon afterwards and was asked by the Azadi Emissary to follow Kian, and ensure the Apostle's edge was not blunted by the eastern pagans. When he arrived in Marcuria during his hunt for the Scorpion, Kian met the Azadi Emissary and received further briefing on his mission. Vamon claims it is because Kian has advanced too far beyond the station of a low-born orphan his comments suggest that Kian may have friends in high places. At some point in the past he appears to have served with the now Commander Vamon, and since then the two have borne thinly-veiled animosity for each other. He is an accomplished swordsman, trained by Garmon Koumas who recognised talent in the young boy, and is now an Apostle: one who converts with the sword rather than the word. As an Azadi man, he was raised to see women as the dominant gender and is extremely polite to them, addressing every woman he meets as 'Mistress'. Kian is an orphan, a 'motherless boy' who grew into a quiet but intense man, with a very strong devotion to the Goddess - his faith is so strong that even his pious instructor warns him to be more discerning. In his travels, he sees another side of his people and begins to question his beliefs, thinking that what he once believed to be pure faith now more closely resembles blindness. He is sent to Marcuria by the Six to find and kill the Rebel leader known as the Scorpion. One of the protagonists of Dreamfall, Kian Alvane is an Azadi Apostle, a soldier and assassin.
