Kenyon Character Analysis

The elder of the Burner clan and a former Agbön opponent of Tzain’s. The two young men are close friends. Kenyon is somewhat hotheaded, though he’s extremely loyal to the Iyika cause. Most of the time, his temper has to do with having lost other Burners, or it flares because he’s afraid. Kenyon is initially derisive of Amari, but he begins to respect her more when her plan to infiltrate Chândomblé relatively unnoticed is successful.
