KY KISKE
THUNDER KING
カイ＝キスク
Ky Kiske is the deuteragonist of the Guilty Gear series and
Sol Badguy's rival. A former member of the
Sacred Order of Holy Knights during the
Crusades, Ky is a very charismatic swordsman who possesses a strong sense of justice and piety, which sustains and guides him through all manner of shaking uncertainties.
Ky is a deeply religious man, the adjective describing both his devotion to God, as well as his commitment to the ideals of
justice, order, and honor. Of a straightforward and serious personality, Ky is diligent, scrupulous and believes in fair play, as well as sincere and very polite. He is also compassionate, even chivalrous, being known to hold back against female opponents. On the other hand, Ky can be quite inflexible and excessively dislikes anything that disturbs the rules and order, having a complex about freedom although he doesn't realize it.
While others may mock Ky for his beliefs and idealism (especially
Sol) due to usually being on opposite sides of the law, he is widely regarded as
someone who will do the right thing. Loyal to his ideals more than his surroundings, Ky will not hesitate to confront his superiors if he believes them to be undermining his conception of justice.
Though Ky's strong beliefs once tended to color his moral world black and white, his experiences have changed that. His position as king, from Overture onwards, made him lose some of his zeal:
his view has broadened significantly, and has learned to see the world from the perspective of others. Ky was initially conflicted by his appointment, but Ky has steadily become more confident and willing to defy conventions, being the "
problem child" according to
Leo. Although Ky is generally a cautious person, he is prone to taking rash actions when angered.
“
Why must I make friends with the hated and make enemies of the respected... It's times like these when I miss the days of the war. The days before I discovered the little space between good and evil…
Forged by war,
Justice once remarked that Ky had the
"eyes of someone who knew nothing yet but battle". However, Ky is firmly committed to the public good and to bringing hope to others, and treasures peace above all. He also actively wishes to move on from the
"killing machine" (in Sol's words) that he was during the Crusades, wishing to leave his hatred behind. Sol -
secretly a Gear - admitted he was afraid of Ky back then, but Ky's sense of honor prevents him from using war-time tactics in his duels.
