Kiri Luchile

Kiri Luchile is the story's primary male protagonist.

Kiri is a very kindhearted and upbeat young man who is willing to do anything for anyone. He is very artistic with a variety of unique and remarkable skills. Of those abilities, two are most pertinent to the tale. The first is his immunity to the Troy plague; he is the first person in living memory unaffected in any way by Troy. Not only that, he is also able to halt the disease by having an afflicted person touch him. This is likely due in part to his second ability: his self-named "Flare".

"Flare", to put it simply, is power wrought in cooperation. By touching another individual, Kiri's physical abilities and processes, as well as those he touches, are increased in proportion to the number of people he grasps. (I.e. Kiri and Elraine hold hands, their individual strengths are doubled, and so on and so forth.) The ability is apparently unheard of in this world, and constantly surprises everyone Kiri meets.

In addition to his "Flare" abilities, Kiri is shown to be a very talented artist, with his bedroom filled with sculptures he creates. His skill is so high that he was able to carve a beautiful sculpture out of a block of wood in only moments. He is even able to use this talent in situations that people would normally not think to use it: he was once able to create a makeshift sword, during a Gazelle attack, by putting together his attacker's throwing knives.

Kiri has also been shown to be an excellent tailor, mending a rip in Elraine's clothes in a second, even adding a patch to it. And this was done all with one hand. He is also able to cook, since his mother doesn't and the task is left to him and his father. (Source: Wikipedia)
