--Veteran Adventurer--

Kundek has been adventuring in Eorzea for about ten years now. He's been all over; from the forests of the Black Shroud to the sands of Thanalan, all the way to the Rhotano sea. If it's somewhere in Eorzea, it's incredibly likely that Kundek has been there, taken in the sights, and maybe helped someone there by finding lost things, slaying monsters, or dungeon diving. It's entirely likely that you've talked to him before, either as a fellow adventurer, or someone who's needed his help!

--Steppesborn--

Kundek was raised on the Azim Steppe, and was born between the union of the hot-headed Steppes Warrior Jaliqai of the Qerel, and the cooler, more calm and collected hunter Tobsakha of the Qerel. Taught by his mother in the ways of axe-wielding since he was old enough to walk and talk, Kundek was considered almost peerless in the art…when he wasn’t busy having a goofy grin or singing a song, that is. Having passed Bardam’s Mettle and gaining status as a Steppes Warrior (and his yol companion Sükh in the process), he was on a path to greatness…until it was discovered he had the Will of Kharash. He was summarily exiled, and left the Steppes at the age of 16.Recently, though, he returned to help deal with the Chaghan attackers, and was reinducted to the tribe once he proved he could keep the Will of Kharash in check.

--Carteneau Survivor--

On the darker side of being an adventurer so long, however, lies with Kundek's survival of the infamous Meteor Project. He was at ground zero when the world practically ended, fighting the Garleans alongside the Grand Companies and fellow adventurers. Though his mind is still fuzzy on the details of how exactly he managed to get away, if one thing is clear, it is thus: Kundek is a fierce fighter, and someone determined to survive against all odds.

--Ishgardian Knight--

What may strike those who know him as odd, though, is his most recently accrued title: Knight of Ishgard. Having adventured heavily in Coerthas since the end of the Dragonsong War, he has worked alongside many interesting companions; one of them being an Isghardian lord, the current head of House Ronsard. He had given Kundek the opportunity to become a knight of House Ronsard, and considering their close friendship, Kundek had accepted. Nowadays, one may see him at certain noble-oriented social functions, accompanying his Lord Ferrand Ronsard. When he's not doing that, though, he is still adventuring out in Eorzea, doing good deeds (and getting paid for it!).
