History
TBA

Personality
Back in his youth, Kai was shown to be innocent; he was greatly disturbed when Ben decided to "educate" him about witchcraft at the cost of several innocent lives. Kai's innocence and bravery are what made Christopher very fond of the boy. These traits, coupled with the fact that they were both bastards presumably led Christopher into seeing Kai as someone that Christopher himself was and could still be, given the right circumstances.

"You're the one who taught me that a man can't be defined by anyone but himself."

- Kai to Christopher

Kai can be described as being the life of the party. When he was introduced, Kai was shown to apparently be diabolical and dangerous as well as wicked but has since proven himself to be even more moral than Christopher. Kai is very charismatic and uses said charisma as much as his witch powers to get what he wants from others. Kai's enjoys his witch life and likes living in L.A., considering it to be a home to keep and fight for. He is also very brave, being one of the very few who can speak defiantly in Christopher's presence without worrying about his own life in the process.

Kai was forced to break one of his rules; against killing children, by killing a witch, in order to save Elizabeth Chamberlain.

Physical Appearance
Kai is tall with short brown hair and blue eyes. He has a close cropped beard and stubble across his upper lip. He is slim with a muscular build.

Powers and Abilities
Kai has proven to be a very capable and powerful witch. His control over telekinesis was highly advanced. He proved powerful enough to be able to cast a privacy spell without any incantations, something Ben had a hard time learning and figuring out. He eventually revealed that he knew for a while that Ben was stronger than him. By his own testimony, Kai has apparently perfected the use of locator spells to the degree where he claimed he was able to locate anyone in the world through magic. However, this spell doesn't work on the dead.

Ben stated that Kai was able to cloak Elizabeth so powerfully that he was unable to break through his spell.

Weaknesses
Kai has the typical weaknesses of a witch.

Christopher Chamberlain
Christopher is Kai's best friend and father. It's complicated, but they respect each other. There's definitely a history between them. It has been stated many times that Christopher loves Kai. Also, Kai is very much in favor of embracing his true nature as a witch and that’s something he learned from Christopher and something they certainly have in common. His relationship with Kai is currently broken as Kai lives in exile and tries to find a way to get Los Angeles back under his rule. After he helped save Christopher's child from being sacrificed, they returned to being allies once more.

Elizabeth Chamberlain
Elizabeth is Kai's sister and has sworn to protect her. He said to Christopher that he can't imagine the joy spending every day with her and commented on how big she had gotten. Kai gave a promise to his mother that he will stay with Elizabeth, protect her and help raise her, as she doesn't want Chris to be the only one Elizabeth knows.
