Personality: Outgoing and friendly, Kai can also be rather flamboyant at times, but he is completely loyal to Captain Zerhouni and the crew of the North Sky. One of the most intelligent people on the crew, he's fluent in seven languages, can get by in many more, and has a grasp of mathematics that makes him capable of plotting a course with the same degree of accuracy as the ship's AI (though admittedly, quite a bit slower). And Kai is certainly not afraid to flaunt that intelligence, not only with crew, but with strangers as well; something that has gotten him into trouble more often than not.
History/Background: From an early age, it was clear that Kai had a higher than average intelligence, excelling in particular in language and maths. As such, he was drafted into the Gifted Children programme when he was just four years old, which put him on the path to some of the more shady areas of Martian military and political intelligence agencies. To this day, much of what he learnt in his years in the programme is classified, and not something he himself particularly likes to talk about.
With his forward and sometimes quite provocative personality, there was no way he would ever have made an even halfway decent spy, and instead he was put to work as an analyst as soon as he turned eighteen. By then, Kai's resentment toward the programme that had more or less raised him was high, and after another couple of years, his rebellion was such that he ended up doing a fair bit of damage to their data systems before he ran off, only to end up flying with Captain Zerhouni as her comms/navigation officer.
