Nickname: Kai, K

Alias: Hephaestus, grease monkey, magic hands, the blacksmith, sledgehammer

Age: 26

Gender: male

Sexuality: bisexual

Face claim: Brian Whittaker

Personality: At first glance, Kaiden may not seem as intimidating as the other members of Olympus as he can come off as a pacifist. He prefers to try to talk things out before throwing punches as he thinks unnecessary fighting ends up in more trouble than it's worth. However, don't take him for a softie. Just because he may have a bit more tolerance than other criminals doesn't mean he'll let things slide. Kaiden will hunt down those who betray him and make sure they get what they deserve. He's not a man to be trifled with and won't hesitate to smash your face in with his fist.

Unfortunately, Kaiden can be too trusting with people he ends up being close with and he knows it's his worst weakness. There have been times where someone he thought was his friend stabbed him in the back, one time almost literally. So because of this, Kaiden is slow to open himself up to and wary to trust strangers.

He's especially suspicious of people who are not upfront and won't release information about themselves, not even their name. He likes to do business with people who will show him mutual respect and trust, he won't let anyone make a fool out of him.

As long as you don't get on his bad side, Kaiden is a pretty chill guy. He's serious when doing business but knows how to relax and have a good time. He drops the tough guy act when he's with friends and loves to make sarcastic remarks. Kaiden longs for friends who are like family and he had thought he found that with the members of Olympus but now he's not so sure. Although he cares for most of them on some level he knows that if push comes to shove, he'll have to look out for no one else but himself. It might hurt, but he has no doubt he won't hesitate to put himself first.

History: Kaiden's father was a car mechanic who owned an auto repair shop. He used the shop as a cover to deal weapons to a local gang he was in and in return he was provided with protection. They lived in a rough neighborhood ridden with home-
lessness, drugs, and gang wars. Despite this, Kaiden had a happy childhood and his father tried his best to shield him from the worst of the violence.

His mother died of illness when he was a young age so all he had was his father. Ever since he could walk, Kaiden watched his father work and quickly picked up mechanics. He began helping out in the shop when he was 12 years old and his father had planned to pass down ownership of the shop to him when he was old enough but he was killed before he could do so. His father had been shot by a rival gang member when Kaiden was 20 years old and he went looking for revenge.

After he killed the man who murdered his father, he gave the auto repair shop to a close family friend and moved out of the neighborhood. He's now the main weapon supplier and mechanic for Olynpus but still visits his old neighborhood once in a while.
