Miknikstic/The Man
Kehinde is Taiwo’s twin and is one of the scholars who lives in the Leopard Knocks area. He’s considered a recluse, as he lives deep in the Night Runner Forest and seldom leaves his hut. When Anatov sends Sunny, Chichi, Orlu, and Sasha to visit Kehinde, the trip teaches the four how to work together—and because Kehinde is so impressed with Sasha, he agrees to become Sasha’s mentor.
