History: Born on the island of Mara an only child, the half-elf boy was often left with a nanny at home while his father was off sailing the seas, getting drunk, or womanizing in some port or another. His life was very much routine like that, Kogenai seeing very little of his father as he grew up and what he often saw wasn't pleasant. By the age of 8 Kogenai was orphaned when his father was finally found in Freeport, having drunk himself to death in a gutter. Having heard nothing but bad things about what happened to orphans in his early years, the boy wanted to be something more than a tragic tale. Abandoning the orphanage, he vowed to be greater than his father ever was. Looking for any crew that would take him, however, was not the wisest of choices as he was picked up by pirates. He learned and lived by them for years, taking in what knowledge he could but never having anyone to call family or friend.

The day came, however, that would change everything for the Windrunner. At the age of 13 the boy was put off by a young girl in Butcherblock, not much older than him, who refused to sell him a toy since he was a pirate. After some argument and talk she managed to convince him that he could try to lead an honest life instead of one depriving others of honest lives. With some difficulty he managed to leave the pirates and get hired by an honest crew. Six months later he returned to Butcherblock with a different outlook, understanding a bit more what it meant to have honor. The girl was actually impressed by what she saw and gave the toy free of charge and in much finer condition than he had originally seen it. They finally introduced themselves to one another, and Kogenai found the first person he would ever call a friend: Kaliet.

Over many years the two would see each other whenever he'd return to the docks, always with stories to share. An inexplainable bond was formed between the two as they came to trust one another as they could no one else. After several years he was unable to find her and learned that her father through marriage had passed away. Since she had not been blood-related due to her mother's adulterous ways she recieved nothing in the aftermath. Concerned for her well-being he tried to seek her out only to be badgered about by a tempermental dockmaster. A couple heated retorts were shared before the dockmaster was found in the water having a hefty drink of sea. Quitting the sailor's life he sought Kaliet out and offered to help her in whatever way he could. He is currently the owner of his own tavern, Virtue in Vice, and Assistant Manager in her business, The Open Hand Trading Company.
