Mikala Kenneth Xiao

Mikala Kenneth Xiao, (known as Kenneth Xiao or, more usually, as Suncrest) is the standard human mate of Duskdance, queen of Free Sky. He was the favoured student of Drs. Zachary and Olga Kolesar, the hated rival of their son Doctor Anton Kolesar, and mentor/adopted brother of Elspeth Kolesar.

Loved by many of his adopted people, the Aelur, he is feared by some - they worry that he fits the prophecy of one they should beware. Suncrest finally wins their loyalty, however, after proving that their enemy is Anton, not him.
