Ke-Sun's very existence defies natural order—part of something larger and stranger than human. The placement of features suggests a being assembled rather than born.

Ke-Sun emerges in The Lost Metal as a Faceless Immortal whose identity is gradually unveiled through startling transformations. Initially fused to the head of an ornisaur, the entity later manifests a human form, revealing an unexpected degree of autonomy and purpose. This evolution from grotesque hybrid to self-directed being marks a significant departure from the more static portrayals of other immortals in the series.

Description

Ke-Sun possesses an unsettling, asymmetrical appearance with facial features merged on the right side of a creature's head where eyes would normally be. In human form, the individual presents a nondescript appearance with an otherworldly quality that marks them as something beyond ordinary humanity. Simple, unremarkable clothing completes the disguise.
