Kiy Tanthar (full name 'Kyrill (KIH-rill) Tanthar', - Azbuka: Кири́лл Танфьар; however the short form is pronounced "kai"), is a cloudgazer from Brazak West, and a protagonist of the Cloudgazer story. He is cool-headed and often detached, although marked by an almost chivalrous sense of doing the right thing. He had a younger sister, Julene Tanthar, though hasn't seen her since her kidnapping by Ganzabar during the Liberation War.

Background

Kiy was born in Laronor, Great Brazak, before the occupation years to Eugene Branna and Tatyana Tanthar. His parents met as officers aboard the GBC Nyeshimny, a Tykos Class cruiser, during the Great Nezzu War. They also had a daughter, Julene Tanthar, prior to the Liberation War. Known as Kiy from an early age (as opposed to his birth name Kyrill), he grew up into a somewhat reserved but passionate boy.

It was in Brudor that he met Esmerelda Litvyak, who would become his primary work contact. The Litvyaks became almost like a family to him, but a restlessness tugs at his mind.

Personality

Kiy has a very relaxed and non-committal attitude. He tends to be solitary, but does have a charismatic side when he's in his comfort zone. He has a distrust of aerofoil craft, but it isn't entirely clear why. Despite gaining an early hatred for the Ganzabi after the incident at Nantez, Kiy's consequent years of exposure living there gave him some degree of respect for Ganzabar's people, if not its government.
