Kiy Tanthar (Azbuka: Кы Танцар) is a Cloudgazer from Brazak West, and a protagonist of the Cloudgazer story. He is cool-headed and often detached, although marked by an almost chivalrous sense of doing the right thing. He had a younger sister, Julene Tanthar, though hasn't seen her since her kidnapping by Ganzabar toward the end of the Liberation War.

Background

Kiy was born in Laronor, Great Brazak, before the occupation years to Eugene Branna and Tatyana Tanthar. His parents met as officers aboard the GBC Nushimny, a Tykos Class cruiser, during the Nezzu War. They also had a daughter, Julene Tanthar, prior to the Liberation War.

Kiy's mother Tatyana was promoted to command of her own ship, the USK-built carrier GBC Dawnstar. During one of the final engagements of the conflict, the Dawnstar and several other rebel ships were ambushed at Nantez. The Dawnstar was sunk, killing both Captain Tanthar and her husband Officer Branna. On instructions from his parents, Kiy had made for an escape with his younger sister Julene on board a trusted escape plane. The Tanthar children were betrayed, however, and the plane landed on a Ganzabi ship. Julene was taken by the command staff while Kiy was incarcerated aboard the GMFS Isoria and shipped back to Ganzabar. He never saw his younger sister again.

He spent four months in a relocation camp at Jonzunstad, where he met a Ziothi named Jans Labeck, known simply as The Amputee. Although cold and unresponsive at first, Labeck came to liking the young Brazakker and taught him to adapt to the prison life. However, due to a grave error on Kiy's part, Labeck was forced to reveal his 'amputation' to be a hidden Sling. During the incident, he was injured and unable to walk. He urged Kiy to take the Sling and keep it safe above all else. Uncertain, yet determined to keep his word, Kiy fled with Maeshel, an Aquitano girl Kiy had ignited trouble to save. During the last moment of their escape, Maeshel was shot in the back, falling into the sky. Although he was able to subsequently get away, he never forgave himself for her death and the demise of Labeck.
