Kylann

Counselor Kylann

Sarlyn's prime rival and opponent on the Utopian Council is Kylann, a staunch isolationist and the leading conservative voice in maintaining Utopia Isle’s separation from the outside world. A contemporary of Sarlyn’s, Kylann opposed the Envoy’s initial foray, and has consistently maintained that his experiences during that time and since support her position that the rest of humanity are dangerous primitives, and Utopia Isle must be protected from them at all costs. In the decades since, she has held the general support of the Council and the populace.
Most of Utopia, including Sarlyn, are unaware of the depths of Kylann’s devotion to her beliefs. More than just an isolationist, she is a Utopian supremacist, who believes her people are far more evolved in every regard compared to the majority of humanity, and therefore more fit to survive. Indeed, it is imperative for the future of humanity that the Utopians survive, whereas the “evolutionary dead-end” of mainstream humanity should be permitted to kill itself off, as it inevitably will. If it is necessary to hurry that process along in order to ensure the success of Utopia, then so be it.
Thus Kylann systematically sabotages any effort at diplomatic relations with the outside world, encourages fear and paranoia of outsiders and their “contamination,” and even works towards the dream scenario of a disaster that wipes out human life in the rest of the world, leaving the protected inhabitants of Utopia to build a new, more perfect, civilization from the ruins.
