Personality: Kevin is the type of person who tries to look at the good things in his life rather than the bad. Few ever know when he is sad or disappointed, because he’ll cover it with a smile. He is a very intelligent man, however, to many he seems somewhat absentminded. Whether this is a farce or not, nobody knows. Helping others is what he lives and strives for. Though extremely enthusiastic about his work, Kevin holds very little confidence in himself due to past issues.
History:

Kevin was the second and last child born into the Festabul family of doctors on the 19th of Harvestreap. Studying the ways of medicine and science for many years, he showed the signs of becoming a great doctor. In truth, his skills had even surpassed that of his older sister when he was at the mere age of fourteen. When Kevin head reached adulthood, he took a job at his family’s clinic in the village of Mabalik, located in Mid-Auraton. Studying and working under his father for several years, Kevin eventually became a physician at the clinic. Having a rough start in the beginning, mainly due to people being distrustful of such a young doctor, Kevin managed to make a good name for himself, becoming a well-known doctor in the area.

One day, while Kevin’s father and sister were off helping a patient in the northern half of the continent, a group of bandits attacked the village, wounding and killing several people. Among the wounded was his mother. Though he tried to do everything in his power to save her, her wounds were far too severe. When his father and sister returned to discover her death, they distanced themselves from Kevin, blaming him for her death.

Being disowned by his family, Kevin left Mabalik and took up a career as an herbalist. Experimenting with a variety of mixtures, he eventually opened a potion and salve shop in Lucia. However, many of his items had horrible side effects, which caused many people to avoid even entering his shop. Even with a lack of customers, he continued to create more potions and salves, as well as working out the side effects to some of his original ones.

Amongst his last customers were Tyralith, Otar, and a brownie called Quentaroto, who requested his aid in helping a wounded fairy. He successfully healed the fairy, but soon after encountering the small band of travelers, Kevin was forced to flee from Lucia, being chased down by an angry mob because of the havoc his potions and salves were causing. Later receiving news of a rare plant in the Phalderi Mountains in Thelahar, he immediately took a ship to Thelahar. However, his plans were soon ruined when the ship was hit by a storm, causing them to change course to Lagunis instead.
