He had short black hair and piercing blue eyes. He was always impeccably dressed in his distinctive black and red-trimmed armor, adorned with a wreath of sharp-tipped tarragan leaves inset with valuable topaz buds.

Personality:
Kylon was a man of strong moral conviction, believing in the importance of honor, duty and loyalty. He was a fair and just ruler, but could be hard-headed, heavy handed and quick to anger when resolving conflicts. He was dedicated to the protection of his people and would not hesitate to put himself in danger to ensure their safety. He was a skilled warrior and strategist, using his knowledge of mounted and hand-to-hand combat to lead his troops in battle. As king he had a reputation of being just and respected among his people.
Background:
Kylon was the previous ruler of House Tarragan and the city of Highcliffe. He gained fame as a younger man for his success in tournaments and boosted the adoption of ornate, decorative armor by the nobility of Highcliffe. One of his most famous feats was when, on a hunting expedition, his party came across a band of raiders that included a rogue Baricos (a wingless manticore). Despite being thrown from his horse and weaponless, Kylon managed to defeat the beast and earned the nickname "Baricos-bane". He ruled for many years, but was eventually killed by a Delrusian assassin at the age of 67 in the year of 1246. He is survived by his daughter Mytheria Tar'Ragan and son Karn Tar'Ragan.
