Kaylene Asheton

Knight Captain Kaylene Asheton is one of the most disciplined and formidable leaders within the Thorn Guard, the Empire’s elite enforcement force. Born into a modest military family, she rose rapidly through the ranks on the strength of her tactical brilliance and unwavering dedication to duty. Her early career was shaped by her service to Emperor Corvinus IV, to whom she swore her first oath of loyalty. When Empress Armelle seized the throne by slaying her father, Kaylene chose to preserve stability by pledging herself to the new ruler, recognizing that resisting would plunge the realm into chaos. Though the decision weighed heavily on her, her devotion to the Empire’s continuity outweighed personal sentiment. Under Armelle’s rule, Kaylene has become one of the Empress’s most trusted commanders, carrying out sensitive missions with calm precision. Her assignment to Asnacht reflects this trust: she was sent to patrol and quietly monitor the village for signs of unrest or rebellion. Kaylene enforces the Empress’s authority with steadiness rather than cruelty, watching every detail and evaluating every potential threat. Though shaped by loss and difficult choices, she remains steadfast in her belief that the Empire must be guarded from instability—whether in the marble halls of Caldrin or in the remote outskirts of the countryside.
