Minister Kaedan Beservera (a.k.a. Kaed, Kae)
A disabled eathyn veteran from End'oria, Kaedan is a single father to Inarora as well as the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the End'orian government. He fought in the second Intra-Continental War and came home with a spinal injury. He uses a wheelchair, but he stands up sometimes to keep his legs strong.
Kaedan's pronouns are he/him and demi-sexual and biromantic. He, like his daughter, is autistic but unlike her, he has PTSD. He loves to spend time with Inarora and his father, write, read. To keep himself strong and attempt to keep his chronic pain levels manageable, he likes to spend time swimming in their indoor pool.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Although very healthy and works out every day—preferring to take a swim and do pool exercises—his back hurts chronically after a spinal injury, so he usually has to be careful when working out or doing anything strenuous.
Usually, Kaedan uses a wheelchair. A lot of the time, his legs are too weak to carry him properly. Other days, his legs are strong enough to hold his weight. He tries to walk as much as his body will let him.

Personal history
Brief Marriage
Kaedan was married to Iris Morozov from 399-401. The pair had a beautiful baby named Inarora in 400. A month or two after Inarora's birth, Iris abandoned Kaedan with their child. Extremely hurt, he was able to get a divorce without her signature and he continued to take care of Inarora with his father and occasional help from his grandfather.
In 401, he joined his mother in helping aid the Rhanalanians during the Second Intra-Continental War, leaving Inarora home with Seri and Byron. During the war, he stumbled upon his ex-wife and went off on her, angry about how she left him and their child. She tried to make it up to him, explaining that she had been working on a project that would protect them. However, instead, she divulged the information of where his team was located, allowing for the opposing forces to attack the City of Bhalgolar.
In the midst of the battle, Kaedan found a group of children cowering near where a bomb was going to detonate. They could not get away fast enough, and Kaedan put himself between the children and the resulting explosion and shrapnel. A piece of glass embedded itself in his back and thus permanently injured Kaedan, leaving him with chronic back pain and the need to use his wheelchair most days.

Accomplishments & Achievements
Mental Trauma
Kaedan has had several traumatic incidents occur to him. The first one he could easily remember was losing his great-grandfather, Lysander, because of the Intelligence Ward trying to silence his work that revealed many of the horrors they committed during the First Intra-Continental War. To this day, it still bothers him that it happened, leaving him with a distrust of non-local humans.
Another incident that traumatized him was being abused and then abandoned by his wife, as well as being betrayed by her during the Second Intra-Continental war. He has a vehement hatred for the woman, and will not tell Inarora much about her except for the fact that she basically donated her eggs and body to her for 9.5 months.
Lastly, he has PTSD as a result of the Second Intra-Continental War, as he became physically disabled from the explosion which injured his spine as well as the horrors he saw on the front line. He swears he will never let Inarora go what he went through both through war and with marriage.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Very much a polyglot and a linguaphile. His special interest in languages gives him a great advantage when it comes to his job as a Minister of Foreign Affairs, and it also comes in handy when he becomes High Seer. He's also very good at math, compared to his child.
Likes & Dislikes
Kaedan absolutely enjoys hirone udon soup like Inarora does.
Virtues & Personality perks
Being the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kaedan is naturally diplomatic. He has to constantly be able to diffuse tense and highly emotional situations, which he does by maintaining a calm and reasonable demeanor. He also acknowledges people's needs and respects them. He thinks before acting, whether at work or at home. It is often that when he makes a decision to do something, he has thought long and hard about it, weighing the merits and the cons.
His diplomacy skills come in handy when Dahlnen lives with them, where he has to frequently mediate problems between Dahlnen, Inarora, Seri, and even Byron. Thankfully, with his ability to think before acting, he is able to respond logically and reasonably compared to everyone else in the house.
Kaedan also finds himself to be a rather honest man.
Relationships
History
When Kaedan and Iris met, it was in 398 in Iuchar during Kaedan's year-long diplomatic internship with the Iucharians. The pair were very much in love. Or, at least Kaedan was. Iris got pregnant and later gave birth to a precious baby, Inarora, in 399.
After Inarora's birth, the couple returned to End'oria, Byron realized that Iris was manipulating and abusing Kaedan, and he begged Kaedan to break up with her and take the baby. This led to a fight between Kaedan and Byron, which ultimately Kaedan realized he was being manipulated, and he in turn fought with Iris. After Iris almost tried to kill him afterward, Byron was able to kick her out with legal help and Inarora was allowed to remain with Kaedan, as the End'orian Child Protective Agency immediately was able to deem Iris unfit as a mother, given she had nearly killed Kaedan and no one knew if she would also try to harm the baby.
After she left, she was temporarily held in confinement, yet was allowed to leave six months later after a bribe from the Ph'tani government to allow her to join them on their side of the upcoming war. Kaedan was unaware of this bribery until after he recovered from his initial injury in the war.
During the Second Intra-Continental War, Kaedan discovered Iris fighting on the side of the enemy and he avoided confrontation. However, Iris tracked him back to his squad's hideout and launched an attack with guns and fire magic. This was the attack that resulted in his back injury.
Relationship Reasoning
They both really liked international politics, geeky stuff, and loved reading.
Legal Status
Divorced
History
When Kaedan had originally graduated from Enhill State University, around fifteen years prior to the events of Inarora's Excursion, a professor of Kaedan's recommended him to Senator Azira as a potential intern given his language skills. After giving him a chance as an intern, she realized how perfect he would be as a diplomat and recommended him for a diplomatic internship in Iuchar.
A few years after the Second Intra-Continental War, Kaedan ran for senator for the End'orian Parliament, and Azira supported him during this time, helping him win the Senatorial seat. Eventually, she gets elected as High Seer and she appoints him as her Minister of Foreign Affairs.
When Kaedan moves to run as High Seer, she will support him then as well. After all, she is his mentor and mentors are there for support.
