Gaia Name: misswho
Character Name: Kaiden Le Gweynidth
Race: faerie/hunter
Age: 449
History: The knight of the unseelie (winter) court, his duty has always been to obey his Queen, no matter the cost to him. In fact, he is bound to her, and has no choice in the matter. As a fae of the high court Kaiden has always been unwilling and difficult for the Queen to control. The Queen is cunning and cruel, and as such has ordered him to leave court and become a hunter, killing both the enemies of the fae and his own kin without choice.
Powers: As a high ranking, winter court fae he has control over cold, water, air and darkness. He can perform glamours on himself and others that allow him to create illusions. As a knight he also carries with him a sword, made of three rods of ice twisted together to form it's blade. This allows him to channel his powers to a more precise location, and to fae is considered as deadly as iron or steel.
Appearance: Pale and sharp featured, he is youthful looking despite his age. The fae had long, snow white hair that is typical of his race, the ends of it just brushing his hip. Kaiden is tall, standing at 6'8" but is built like a dancer, lean but made of pure muscle. His eyes are completely black, like lumps of coal where eyes should be, his lips are a pale blue, and looked like they used to smile frequently but have since forgotten how. He is always seen wearing his armour; pure silver plates that seem to reflect light, shades of green, blue and purple light constantly playing across it's surface. It covers a tunic of deep purple, grey trousers and grey riding boots. On occasion he will be seen wearing his helmet, as angular as his face it is shaped like the head of a polar bear, leaving his mouth and chin exposed and made of the same metal as his armour.

The ride up on the elevator was rather boring considering the elevator music was Staying Alive. Finally, Artemis reached the top level. She quietly strolled along through the halls, being careful to avoid contact with other people. Number 1 rule in a mission, get in, get out, never leave behind anything that can tie you down. Finally, Artemis reached Room 1234. Artemis reached into her messenger bag , that had been swinging silently by her side. She reached in a pulled out a silver rod. Slowly the rod stretched out and became a scythe. She lightly tapped the point of the blade on the lock. The lock popped open and Artemis pushed through. She found them lying in bed, half-naked. Artemis once again reached into her bag and pulled out a silver gun. She pointed the gun to his chest, just as his eyelids fluttered open.

Kaiden watched silently, his large black eyes focused on the angel. They shared their trade (as much as the winter knight resented it), but he had never spoken to her. The rain, making soft chime-like notes against his silver armour reminded him of his home.
"An angel indeed..." he muttered to himself, slowly rising from his crouching position on the nearby rooftop. His long white hair hung close to his body; soaking from the rain, yet the very tips still moved and danced in the breeze. As the droplet ran down his face they froze, falling as ice to the floor and leaving glittering trails of frost across his skin.
With a powerful jump of his legs he launched himself off the edge of the building, falling down into the darkness for a second before rising up in a gliding motion. Contrary to popular belief not all fae needed wings to fly. Despite the weight of his silver armour and the sword strapped to his back he used the air magic he posessed to stop himself from falling. Wary of who else could be watching he performed a glamour on himself to make him invisible, and landed lightly on the hotel roof. He circled the girl, one hand hovering above his sword incase he found himself in need of it.
"Was he guilty?" he asked simply, still wearing his glamour so the stranger could not tell where his voice came from.

He'd watched the Angel clean the body and the area, getting the feeling it was just as much about her personal feeling as it was to prevent questions. At her questioning he laughed, the sound echoing around the empty roof, sounding deep with a hint of cruelty to it.
"My my, that is a silly question! If the 'who' wanted to be seen at a particular 'there' surely they'd make sure they were seen?" he replied, talking in riddles as most fae tended to do. Since they could not tell outright lies it was their way of bending the truth or avoiding questions.
As the sun rose the knight found himself weakening, he could still keep up his glamour as it was a simple thing, but his direct influence faltered slightly. Had he not been hidden the soft glow that surrounded him would fade away, giving him an unhealthy appearance, almost corpse like in the harsh light of the sun.
"I will ask again, was he Guilty?" he pressed, stressing the final word with a subtle hiss. As he spoke he moved several strides closer, now close enough to let the very tips of his silvery white hair to brush her coat.

He laughed again, booming this time and full of mockery.
"Ah for you see, it does concern me. I have been ordered to become a Hunter, exactly like yourself," as he spoke he slowly began to make himself known to her, starting with his boots and gradually moving up as he continued to talk.
"I am merely trying to find out what we kill for. You say he is guilty for planning to kill this werewolf leader and the President of this, human world," his voice growing bitter as he almost spat the races name.
"However, I am making a plan of how to kill you right now. Does that make me guilty? Or simply clever not to under-estimate you in you chose to attack me? Where do you draw the line?" As he came into full view of her he smirked cruelly, his ice blue lips drawn back to show his gleaming teeth, on any other animal it might have been called a snarl.
"Who are you to say who should live and who should die? Teach me. Explain to me. I ask a third, and final time...Was He Guilty?" he hissed, taking several more quick steps towards her, looming over her as his impressive height far outmatched her own.

The winter faerie stopped his advancement. The sudden coldness she showed him was delicious, and he smirked as she spoke to him.
"So, you are bound by others? I see...I understand what it is to serve anothers will," he replied, tone calmer. Even so, it was impossible to tell if he was being condescending or honestly sincere. As she continued, clearly growing angry with him again his full beaming grin returned. Starting to circle her slowly he replied prompty,
"Ah see, your mistaken again. I never threatened to kill you, merely mentioned that I was formulating a plan to in case of emergency. Really little one I'd learn to listen more closely," making a lot of sense (for a fae at any rate) he continued,
"As for Who you are, it makes little difference to me. What your future holds means nothing to me, as it has yet to affect you. Besides, the babes you produce has little to do with me-" he paused here to sniff, as if the very idea was offensive.
"As for your 'Royal Guard' I am also the guard of nobility, to precise I am the leader of the guard. If they did need to kill me I have no doubt we'd face each other as equals. Not as hunter and prey as you suggest," he finished. Completing his circle of her he stopped and dropped down onto one knee, adding a brief bow of his head that only seemed to add to his mockery of her.
"I am Kaiden, Knight of the Unseelie Court, and chosen champion of Winter, it is a pleasure to meet you, your Highness," behind his pearly white teeth a blackish blue tongue flicked out and wetted his icy blue lips.
"I am bound by my Queen to join the Hunters, so I suppose it will be the first scenario we shall be following," he added in a dry tone, sounded rather different compared to the rest of his speech. If anything he sounded bored as he repeated his orders.

Kaiden was taken aback briefly, unaware that Mab had told anyone of his move into the ranks of the Hunter's. In all honestly he'd expected her to just leave him to it to struggle on his own in the world of iron and steel.
"Very well m'lady. I look forward to it," he replied simply, watching her fly into the sun. Bringing up a gloved hand to shade his eyes he marked the building she was heading towards before leaving via the stairs.

The now rising sun drained his powers to the point where he'd rather not try and fly if he had an option. Instead he cast a glamour on himself to look as human as possible as he moved through the hotel to it's front entrance. His eyes, though still black had the usual area of white surrounding them, and his armour looked like a simple grey business suit. Reaching a man with a motorbike he handed him a leather wallet, filled to the brim with gold in the shape of £100 bills.
"Give me the bike, and keep the change," he muttered with a smile, the bikes old owner walking away in blissful glee. Naturally Kai wouldn't tell him that faerie gold would disappear once the sun set.

Taking a deep breath he jumped onto the bike and swerved through traffic towards the tall building, trying not to gag at the metallic taste around him. The only reason the bike didn't kill him was due to the gloves and armour that he wore. Maintaining his glamour he made his way up to the top of the Empire state, stopping halfway to grab himself some sweet human food. After all he didn't want to look too eager for his new 'Hunter Queen' as he'd mentally dubbed her. Eating strawberry icecream from a tub he climed the last few steps to the top floor, letting his glamour fall away again. It was highly probable that the angel had reached the floor first, considering her speed and his quick icecream stop.

((Yes he likes icecream, but he is from winter and who doesn't love strawberry? hehe xD))
