Kimo is a gentle soul. Yet that didn’t stop him from following in the footsteps of his father and joining Dart’s pack of Jackwolf Riders, despite the dangers of becoming one of the Sun Village’s hunters and protectors. It is a decision he never regretted, even though he was mortally wounded in the battle that killed his father.
Yet Kimo was one of the lucky ones. Wrapped in preserver webbing, he slept for thousands of years until Leetah and Mender could pool their powers to heal him. Even then he didn’t hesitate to leave Sorrow’s End and follow Dart into the dangers of the Forevergreen, where he stood by his friend’s side through many adventures.
He spent several years in the Palace of the High Ones training with Timmain herself, learning the secrets of the lost skill of shape-shifting. With time and practice, Kimo broke through the magic-dampening barriers inherent to the World of Two Moons and now spends as much time as a shaggy gray wolf as he does in his elf form.
Kimo was devoted to his human friend Shuna and followed her as protector and advisor on her mission to spread a message of peace and co-existence to the human world. Sadly, that message was rejected by the invading forces of the Agrif Djun’s Commander of Sea and War. Kimo was taken prisoner during the final battle between the Djunsmen and the elves of Father Tree Holt. He sacrificed himself rather than be used as a bargaining chip in the humans’ war against the elves. His body was returned to his mother Newstar in the Rootless Ones’ Dell.
