Kaito Tadaheik¶
Contested
This page is named in the open question Kaito Tadaheik gentled or ungentled: the Harwith scenario lists him as a gentled slave, while the first session record calls him "ungentled, but still feebled".
Kaito Tadaheik was a convicted Namakan Runeblade, once "a member of House Vinceris and a First Sword in the 6th Strike of the Obsidian Legion", who ended his days as a slave at the sawmill of Harwith in the Sancturi frontier of the Fifth Age (S138). He "killed his wife and children" (S138). Bound by the devil Hal'Gamesh's blood pact with the travellers of Harwith's inn, he went with them into the ruins of Kilmarn and died there (S161, S163).
The slave of Harwith¶
The sawyer Albert Hanival, a witch in league with the Hollow, worked his lumbermill with slaves, and Kaito was the first of them: "(Gentled) (Feebled) a convicted Namakan Runeblade ... Pretty unstable, deep hatred of Sancturi and Namaka. Has lost his grip on reality" (S138). His former house, House Vinceris, is one of the great houses of the Sancturi Imperium, and the Obsidian Legion one of its legions; how a First Sword came to murder his family and be sold to a frontier sawyer is not told.
Under the pact¶
When the Hollow took Harwith, Kaito was one of the "Group of Nine 'mercenaries'" bound together by the pact, listed as "runeblade, ungentled, but still feebled" (S161). He travelled with them through the Florentine Woodlands of Floren and into Brusau, and crossed the bridge of the Breath of the Gods beneath the obelisk at Kilmarn with the vanguard (S162). In the fighting in the temple complex below he was armed with a silvered long sword, and there he was killed (S163). The company's journey is told in the Sancturi Campaign.
Gap
The sources do not explain what gentling and feebling do to a Runeblade, who gentled him, or how he came to be ungentled if he was. Nor do they name his wife and children.
