Kaden (known as The Mouse Who Thunders to Slyrak)

Princess of Nothing
Kaden makes his first appearance as a painting in a small run-down inn at Hauptstadt, hung on the wall beside the landing of the inn's only staircase. Here, Davion and Mirana stop for a while to look at Kaden's portrait, before the former introduces him to Mirana as one of the greatest Dragon Knights of all time. He reminisces the time when he met Kaden as a young squire who once filled up his cup for him, adding that Kaden himself knew Davion's potential. In an uninterested and sarcastic tone, Mirana agrees with him. Davion further introduces Kaden, saying that he is the only Dragon Knight who has killed all eight types of Dragons. With the same tone, Mirana asks him about the number of dragon types that he has killed, to which Davion responds that he has killed only five. Just as he finished his answer, he sees Mirana leaving for the inn's rooms while giving him an insincere encouragement.

A brief flashback in Episode 4 reveals that, after nearly twenty years, Kaden finally found the lair of Slyrak, but it was empty. He did find his trail through the earth and followed it until he found himself inside a mountain outside of Barrowhaven. Inside the cave where Slyrak and the possessed Uldorak fought each other, he did not find even a trace of his nemesis, but only the blighted corpses of Uldorak and Frühling, as well as Davion's dragon fang necklace.

Neverwhere Land
In a frozen wilderness, a lone ember wyrmling blindly unleashes its fire breath with no target in sight. Amidst the clearing smoke and steam is Kaden, fully clad in dragon-forged armor and wielding his legendary blade. The dragon charges towards him as he assumes a wide stance, before activating the inherent gravitational power in his weapon. The increased mass reverberates beyond the blade and into its surroundings, unleashing a small shockwave and shattering the snow-glazed earth itself. With this strength in hand Kaden strikes down the ember wyrmling. The sheer impact releases a massive wave of force that not only oneshots the wyrmling, but even rattles the surrounding forest.

Kaden then treks himself back to a Dragon Knight redoubt at the top of a mountain while hauling the ember wyrmling's bloody corpse through the snow with his bare hands.

The Monster at the End of This Book
Following his safari in the cold wilderness, Kaden returned to the Dragon Knight redoubt to harvest the ember wyrmling's corpse. Unbeknownst to him, Davion and Mirana have already entered the redoubt before him for a pit stop in their journey to the Invoker's Tower and Dragon Hold.

Kaden enters the redoubt through its front gate. Oblivious to his arrival, Davion and Mirana are alerted to an unknown intruder when they hear the same gate that they went through open. Arming himself with his trusty bracer blade, he rushes to the entrance and is surprised to find Kaden. He remarks the dead ember wyrmling that Kaden is carrying on his shoulder, surprised about the fact that he found the dragon in the cold. Kaden replies that the ember dragons and luminous dragons have been acting strange lately, and that they were much easier to hunt than kill.

Noticing the way he casually lifts the dragon on his shoulder, Mirana refutes what he said about the dragons being harder to kill. Kaden presents his dragon-forged armor to the lady and briefly educates her on the power of a dragon as it ages, noting that older dragons are much more powerful. While inspecting his gauntlets, he states that they are forged from an adult earth dragon, allowing him to use its tectonic strength. Davion is surprised about the implication of his adult dragon armor, saying that killing an adult dragon would require half of the order's manpower. Kaden scoffs, saying that only he was involved in its death.

The two Heroes follow Kaden to the redoubt's abbatoir where he prepares the ember wyrmling for butchering, placing it on a butcher block and hanging it by the head with a metal chain. Davion says that he did not expect to see anyone in the redoubt and surmises that he has heard from his squire Bram, whom he dispatched to Dragon Hold. Not knowing what he's talking about, Kaden asks him from where he was sent. Davion replies, saying that they came from Barrowhaven to clear an earth wyrmling nest. He also adds that he might have found an eldwurm in the nest. Kaden clarifies this last statement by asking if he actually found it or thought that he found one, before starting the butchering process by cutting the ember wyrmling's scales. With a bit of uncertainty in his voice, Davion answers that he didn't find it. Davion and Mirana glance back at each other with worried looks.

Even without looking at them, Kaden senses Mirana's body language and points it out, observing that she doesn't agree with what Davion said. She asks him to come again and Kaden further explains his observation, saying that he is familiar with the look she gave to Davion. As he cuts up the wyrmling, he reveals that she was having sympathy for the dead wyrmling. He tells her not to by explaining the ember dragon's true nature as a vicious animal that can kill a man in the wild by delivering an exquisitely painful bite that melts flesh and heats the blood in one's veins. Tension builds up in Davion's mind as Kaden continues explaining and cutting up the ember wyrmling. He then concludes that although a Dragon Knight honors the dragons that they slay, they must never forget that they are killing machines. The sight of the dragon's remains being butchered is too much for Davion to handle due to his inner nature, and he excuses himself out of the room to check on Marci. As the two Heroes leave the room, Kaden glances at them with a hint of suspicion.

Although it happened off-screen, Kaden might have successfully butchered the ember dragon. From its remains, he yielded a pouch full of dragon scale tips for arrows and some delicious dragon meat. It's implied that he prepared and cooked the meat into a scrumptious wyrm filet dish.

In one of the redoubt's messes; Davion, Mirana, Marci, and Kaden are having lunch. Everyone but Davion is eating, which prompts Kaden to ask if he's uncomfortable with the food or them. Mirana answers for him by saying that they had just been through a difficult trip up the mountain on their way here. Kaden puts down his cup and tosses her a pouch of dragon scale arrowheads to aid their trip on the way down the mountain. She thanks him for the gift and socializes with him, asking if he has some greater purpose here besides hunting wyrmlings. Kaden replies that his hunt is meant to settle his dragon debt. Intrigued, Mirana asks him about this "dragon debt" that he has, and assumes that he has a literal debt with dragons. Kaden corrects her, saying that his debt is meant for men.

He recounts the time when he and twenty-nine other Dragon Knights were dispatched to the city of Leathsham to deal with the wyrmling sightings around the city, almost twenty years ago. The knights discussed their approach and concluded that the wyrmling sightings may imply the presence of an adult dragon, deciding not to risk their lives for a potential threat that could not be dealt with their insufficient numbers. Outside the city at night, the knights had their R&R. Kaden updated his journal with his worries over a girl, while his captain and a random knight teased him about it. All of a sudden, a flame nova briefly consumed the night sky. A streak of bright fire quickly followed, and the entire city of Leathsham was in flames. Kaden's worries over girls was overtaken by valor and discipline as he and the rest of the knights made haste to Leathsham's defense.

Searching for the source of the attack, they didn't find the origin until they saw a massive figure within the city's flames. They were shocked at the size of this anomaly, and Kaden recalls how he could not comprehend the impossible size of this ember dragon as none of the knights had ever seen an eldwurm before, let alone understand how it was able to move with its huge proportions. Its maw exhaled fire upon them, but Kaden's captain promptly blocked the inferno with his shield's barrier ability, protecting his crew from the flame. It exhaled another round of fire that was much more powerful, and the barrier finally broke under the sheer potency of the flame. The knights' protection was compromised as a wave of fire utterly incinerated them, save for Kaden who was somehow safe from it. Spared from the eldwurm's might, Kaden was forced to watch helplessly as his comrades died with the most excruciating agony that any mortal has ever felt before death.

Alone to witness the aftermath, Kaden recalls the smell of smog that rose from the charred corpses and burnt rubble. He saw the captain's hand on his leg, causing him to stumble back in horror. He looked up and saw his captain's upper torso, his other half utterly incinerated into ashes that were still glowing with heat, his mask of fear and shock captured in the final moments of his fleeting life. As he kneeled before this morbid preservation of mortal emotion, Kaden let out a cry out of grief and despair and rode out of Leathsham alone.

Back in the present day, Kaden concludes his answer to Mirana's question from earlier. He affirms the fact that he is indeed hunting something bigger than mere wyrmlings, while staring at his reflection on the surface of his wine. He looks up towards Davion and says that he is hunting Slyrak himself. He tells him about his progress on his hunt for Slyrak, which is the time when he finally found his lair after nearly twenty years. Although he found the lair to be utterly empty, he did find his trail through the earth. Following his tunnel, it took him to a mountain outside of Barrowhaven. He didn't find Slyrak in there, but he found the corpses of a dragon and a man, before revealing that he also found Davion's dragon fang necklace in the cave as he shows it to a shocked Davion.

Kaden lectures Davion for recklessly entering the cave to battle the eldwurms, only to run away out of cowardice and shame. He reminds this younger knight not to repeat his mistake again and tells him about his firsthand experience with an eldwurm and how he learned that one unprepared man can only despair in the presence of an eldwurm. He then throws his dragon fang necklace back to him on the table, before inquiring him about whatever he saw in that cave so that he may gain information that could help him kill Slyrak.

The episode doesn't show the whole of Davion's testimony to Kaden, but it only shows us the very last part. Davion explains that when he woke up from the incident, he found himself stripped of his equipment and utterly naked, including his dragon fang necklace. He concludes that everything he said was all that he could remember from the incident and pleads for Kaden's help. Kaden briefly invokes the sacred oath that these two have made as Dragon Knights and agrees to help him, before turning his gaze to the cold and uneaten dragon filet on Davion's plate, rousing him with even more suspicion.

During nighttime, Davion had nightmares of his encounter with Slyrak. He woke up in a cold sweat and was surprised to see a fully armored Kaden at his bedside. With a charged backhand, he knocked out Davion and carried him down to the heart of the redoubt. The commotion caused the sleeping Mirana to stir and investigate Davion's dark bedroom. He was nowhere to be found, but she found his bracer blade on the bedside table. She left the room to look for him until he found Kaden on an elevator, carrying Davion's limp body on his shoulder. She cried out to him and tried to ask him what he was going to do with Davion, but he did not reciprocate. She runs back to Davion's room to retrieve the bracer blade and rallied Sagan and Marci to rescue Davion.

Later on, in the depths of the redoubt's heart, Davion wakes up and sees Kaden in front of him. Confused, he calls to him before Kaden suddenly stabs him in the right shoulder with a sharp object, which he reveals it to be an ionic dragon's tooth. He explains that these dragons cannot lie, and now that its tooth is embedded in him, he cannot lie either. He then calls to an unknown entity, which confuses the agonized Davion. He tells him that he is looking for Slyrak, prompting Davion to tell him that the dragon is long gone and dead now. Kaden disagrees and stabs him with another ionic dragon tooth on his left shoulder, causing him even more pain.

Kaden calls out the dragon within him one last time, calling him a coward. Slyrak finally begins to reveal himself as Davion's body transforms and emits draconic fire and the chains that are restraining him burn but not melt. The Father of Fire himself manifests in an intermediate form known as Slyvion that resembles a small humanoid version of an ember dragon, singing in both the host's and the dragon's voice. Finally meeting his nemesis after nearly twenty years, Kaden interrogates him on why he was hiding in Davion's body. Slyvion corrects him, saying that he is just travelling. Kaden asks him where, but Slyvion tells him that he smells his fear beneath his impassive face. He brags about outliving the mountains themselves as he watches them drown in oceans and says that his destination is beyond the reach of man.

Kaden expresses his intention to kill him, but Slyvion warns him of the consequences. He warns him that the knight's feat of slaying him will not quench his vengeance, nor will it garner him any praise from others for there will be no one left to do that. If he continues with his decision, then releasing him from his "corporeal fetters" will bring about irreparable and unpleasant consequences on a cosmic scale: the very dissolution of time and space, the destruction of the so-called Manifold Forms, and the ruination of the great duality of order and chaos pillars. Without the beings that ensure the restoration of the nonfinite multiverse from destruction, the endless universes will embrace finality with no recovery to follow. Even nothing will cease to be.

Having nothing to say about the extramundane scale of bullshit that he just said, Kaden tells him that he has been preparing for this encounter for twenty years. Slyrak brags about his power yet again, saying that empires and armies alike find their fate in his flames. Kaden agrees that even armies are destroyed by him, but the knight retorts by saying that he needs no army to kill an eldwurm. All he needs is his signature blade that's forged from an adult void dragon that can turn an opponent's overwhelming strength against them with its power over mass, which he brandishes against Slyvion.

The beast is suddenly reminded of him and his comrades back at Leathsham, reminiscing their taste and fear. Slyvion mockingly envies the luck that Kaden had when he was spared from the flames of fate and mocks him for running away. Meanwhile, Mirana has successfully brought Marci and Sagan with her to rescue Davion. She uses the bracer blade to shatter the elevator's chains so as to forcefully open the aperture. Going back to the beast and the man, the unfazed Kaden also recalls the miasma all too well. But the time of interrogation has passed and Kaden releases the beast from his chains, allowing them both to fight equally and unfettered. "Twenty fucking years," Kaden said. The ageless Slyvion responds: "Nothing to me." Their (relatively) long-awaited fight ensues.

Slyvion tears out the ionic dragon tooth on his left shoulder and pounces on Kaden. His attack was unsuccessful, however, as he did not hit Kaden who had vanished into thin air. Kaden suddenly reappears behind the stupefied beast as he slams his charged sword down on the ground, unleashing a shockwave that sends Slyvion flying into a pillar, causing it to collapse on him. Meanwhile, Mirana destroys the elevator's chains and gains access to the elevator, allowing the trio to descend into the nadir of the redoubt's heart and rescue Davion. Back to the fight, Kaden says to the collapsed Slyvion as he approaches, "Twenty fucking years and twenty-nine fucking souls, you think I'm not prepared for this?" He then berates the dragonoid for trying to hit him under the effects of a chaos dragon's planeshifting power.

He prepares to strike him down, but he is suddenly alerted to an intruder when he hears Sagan's roar. He promptly dodges Sagan's attack with the same chaos power and anticipates Marci's attack from the rear by himself. He grabs her out of the air by the neck and briefly chokes her before throwing her away in front of him. He realizes that he was attacked again from behind when he feels something trying to slip between the gaps of his armor. He turns around and backhands Mirana (who attempted to stab him with the bracer blade) in the face, knocking her away. Her attack had an unforeseen consequence on his armor though, as Kaden noticed that the chaotic power in his armor stopped working after she did that.

In a fiery nova, Slyrak unleashes his true form, which shocks Mirana. The real battle had just begun. Finally meeting the real Slyrak himself, Kaden assumes a combat stance as he materializes his helm and activates the voidal power of his sword. Slyrak tries to crush him underneath his palm, but Kaden quickly backs off. The beast tries to trample him two more times, but still Kaden dodges both attempts. Rearing up his head, Slyrak unleashes his fiery breath while the Nightsilver trio escapes the redoubt. Slyrak realizes that he has been hitting nothing, and scans the room for his enemy. Using his subtle size and unnatural flight, Kaden zips around Slyrak before rising up to the dragon's head. He activates his sword and brings it down on Slyrak's skull, slamming it into the ground.

Slyrak quickly recovers from the blow and slaps the airborne Kaden with his Dragon Tail. He successfully blocks it with his blade and clashes against it briefly, but he is overpowered and sent flying into a wall. The knight recovers from the attack and activates the air dragon power in his boots, blasting him away from the reach of Slyrak's flame breath. He ascends the redoubt's heart while dodging Slyrak's flames, and this prompts the Eldwurm to pursue him with his own flight. Kaden lands on a flight of stairs with Slyrak right behind him, who snaps his jaws at nothing when he ran away. He goes for another bite and fails since Kaden escaped him with his boots' power. Now behind the dragon, he zips back towards him and outmaneuvers him while dodging one of Slyrak's claw swipes. Using his void dragon sword, he strikes Slyrak so hard that he is sent crashing out of the redoubt's walls.

Kaden follows him outside the redoubt and flies towards him with his air dragon boots. The Nightsilver trio witness the spectacle as Kaden deploys his omnidirectional shield against Slyrak's inferno. The powers of dragon nature clash against each other as Kaden struggles to close the distance, until the clash ends in a bright and powerful blast that destroys part of the redoubt that was on top of the mountain. Mirana realizes that they have lost Davion and embraces her companions, until she hears Slyrak's roar. Having emerged from the clash undefeated, he swoops down on the trio and picks them up with his hands, flying away to an unknown destination.

A Game of Chess
Back at the cave from the seventh episode, there are clutches of air dragon eggs ravaged by fire. A dragon's cry of pain and death can be heard, and on the cave's walls, the shadow of said dragon slumping into a corpse can be seen. It was revealed to be a dead air wyrmling whose corpse rolls towards the burning eggs, and the culprit is Kaden, who had also survived his fight with Slyrak. Dematerializing his helm, he turns his attention to something on the ground. He picks up a tatter and inspects it. He then walks out of the cave, where seven other Dragon Knights have been waiting for him. Among them is Bram, whom Kaden gives the shred of cloth to. Kaden tells them that Davion was in the cave before and orders them to go north where they can find him.

The Knights finally track him down in Coedwig, where Slyvion is aiding Mirana's escape from the angered Coedwei. They bring down the airborne dragonoid with hooked tethers that wrap around him, restraining his wings and causing him to fall. Recovering from the fall, he roars in fury and tries to break free, until he sees Kaden walk up to him and reveal his face after dematerializing his helm. Slyvion demands him to remove the fetters so as to give him the battle that the dragon thinks he wants. Kaden withsays the battle, saying that he only intends to retrieve the boy within him. He then drops a capsule that releases a sedative smoke. Slyvion breathes it in and goes up in flames, reverting him back to Davion who is also left unconscious by the smoke. The Knights then deliver him back to Dragon Hold to cure his dragon impurity.

Unbeknownst to any of the Dragon Knights, Fymryn shadowed them on their way to Dragon Hold, intending to rescue Davion for herself.

Personality and Mannerisms

 * One of Kaden's most defining traits is his brevity with words. He may have gained this laconic trait as a side effect of his (serious) straight to the point—probs has no time to socialize
 * dark side to his success, selfish, has all the adult dragon forged equipment to himself
 * has good memory, recognizes Davion's dragon fang necklace even after many years since they first met in dragon hold
 * DOTA: Dragon's Blood, Book 2, Episode 2: My Sword, My Life (14:47) *In Foulfell, Terrorblade raises his arm, channeling his power through the shards of Foulfell and Father's possessed body, coursing his unhallowed influence into the minds of the stupefied heroes Davion, Bram, Fymryn, and Kaden. A brazier's flame is shown being slowed to a crawl, as Terrorblade lets himself in* Terrorblade: Davion. Dragon Knight. What a long sad road it's been. Doomed to die. *Davion looks around the void he's in without a sense of direction, until he sees his corpse back in Episode 1, shocking him* Terrorblade: Forgotten. Your identity, consumed. *He is suddenly surrounded by flames that reveal their master, Slyrak.* Terrorblade: Transformed into a murderous abomination in the service of a master you hate. *The scene cuts to the silvery pools of the Temple of Mene, with the reflections of Fymryn and the moon. She picks up one of the magical lotuses in her hands* Terrorblade: Fymryn. Child of the moon, your head full of stories. A little girl who imagines she's a goddess. *The lotus she's holding suddenly dissipates into the wind. She follows the particles flowing behind her, only to find a desolate landscape littered with the corpses of her kin, shocking her* Terrorblade: Just a freak, really. An accident. *The scene cuts to Bram's stunned visage, then appears as a reflection on Ritterfau's sword* Terrorblade: Bram. Dear, dear, Bram. So full of hope. So earnest. So obliging. *Bram looks up to see his Dragon Knight comrades looking at him with disapproval* Terrorblade: But a sword doesn't make you a Dragon Knight. *The scene transitions with a gust of dust, revealing Kaden together with his doomed crew* Terrorblade: Thirty men rode to Leathsham. *On the barren earth, the shadows of Kaden and his fellows are seen, only for the latter to crumble into dust* Terrorblade: One rode back. *Kaden looks behind him and sees the corpses of his brothers* Terrorblade: You rode back. Alone. Always alone. The dead cry out for vengeance. But you ignore their pleas. *The scene cuts to Davion witnessing the destruction of Dragon Hold, but some error made it so that the scene where the redoubt in B1E4 was destroyed is reused here* Terrorblade: You have achieved what Slyrak himself could not. The destruction of the Dragon Knights. *The scene goes back to Fymryn, horrified by the lifeless bodies of her kin and haunted by the moment of their death* Terrorblade: Oh, so many dead, Little Bit. Because you were foolish enough to believe one lie, and make yourself part of another. *The scene cuts back to Bram assisting his brothers in battle as a squire* Terrorblade: Your destiny is to die on someone else's quest. *Bram looks behind him and sees Davion standing victorious over an earth wyrmling's corpse, receiving praise and glory while Bram stands in his shadow (literally and metaphorically)* Terrorblade: Serving someone else's glory. A sad bit player in another man's story. *The scene goes back to Kaden, staring down Davion in front of him* Terrorblade: Redemption stands in front of you. Clothed in the flesh of a man you call "brother". Yet you hide behind an oath and call your cowardice loyalty. *Davion transforms in front of him, turning into Slyvion. The scene cuts to Davion kneeling amongst the flame-ravaged ruins* Terrorblade: There is only one thing left for you to do. *It then cuts to Fymryn embracing Dyfed's corpse* Terrorblade: So far from your own battle. Hiding from the consequences. *Cuts to a terrified Bram falling into the void, before he ends up half buried in a coffin alongside the other squires* Terrorblade: Will they remember you, dear Bram? Or simply bury you next to all the other forgotten dead? *A storm of flames act as a transition to the next scene, showing Kaden facing off against Slyrak* Terrorblade: Strike Slyrak down. Free your brothers from their torment. *The scene cuts to Davion embracing Terrorblade's corruption, his eyes turning green* Terrorblade: Give in. *Fymryn embraces it too with the same effects* Terrorblade: Let go. *Bram rises from his grave, succumbing to the demon's power* Terrorblade: Change your destiny. *Zooming in to Kaden's corrupted eyes, it transitions into Terrorblade's eyes and fades into white, back to the real world* Terrorblade: Free yourself. Possessed Father: All you have to do, is let me in. Kaden: You were right. *The possessed Father smirks. Kaden walks to between the Heroes and Father, poised to strike* Kaden: Of course you were right. *Kaden swings his blade at them, but it turns out, he deceived the demon as he reveals that he wasn't affected and turns his blade on the demon vessel. However, Possessed Father casually blocks his sword with two fingers and redirects its power, sending him flying into a wall. The sword activates its voidal power on its own, causing it to shatter the wall behind him and letting him fall. He is rescued by Bram, however, who holds his arm*

Equipment
Just like his fellow Dragon Knights, Kaden's equipment—from his weapons to his armor—is mostly forged from dragon remains. assisted by Father

Weapons
Somewhere along the line of his rise to unnatural power, sword

Kaden's sword is forged from the remains of an adult void dragon, retaining its gravity powers. It is linked to a portal scroll that allows him to receive anyone who uses the scroll to summon him through a portal after reciting a specific incantation.

This sword is best known for its ability to increase its own mass or weight in proportion to its current target. Kaden explains this concisely: "The bigger you are, the harder it hits." Because of the ability to turn the target's physical strength against them, this weapon is indispensable in his personal war against dragons, allowing him to fight these massive creatures. The blade can get heavy when it is against a heavy target such as a hundred ton dragon, so Kaden must wield this sword with his earth dragon gauntlets to have the strength required to lift it when that happens.

The blade can get heavy when it is against a heavy target such as a hundred ton dragon, so Kaden must wield this sword with his earth dragon gauntlets to have the strength required to lift it when that happens. Besides dealing damage proportional to the target's mass, Kaden's sword has other cool features. To the left we can see Kaden using its power to propel Davion off of it, allowing him to reach and kill a low-flying water wyrmling. To the right, we can see that it can also form a spherical shield. This is a void dragon's shield since a rogue void dragon named Kashurra also has this kind of shield as well, albeit darker in color. Plus the color of Kaden's shield is the same as the purple and blue aura that emanates from his sword when it is active. Not to mention that the sword was activated when this shield was up. His secondary handheld weapon is a collection of ionic dragon teeth. Kaden was first seen using their fangs as an apparatus for interrogation. He claims that these teeth retain the ionic dragon's properties of truthfulness and inability to lie. Lodging them into the victim's body prevents them from lying, but apparently this didn't work at all, seeing how nothing special happened when he used it on Davion.

That's not to say that these teeth are useless though. These teeth can deliver a short but powerful electric current that shocks victims on contact. Additional electric shocks are applied by simply moving the tooth while it is still lodged. It can also prevent the natural healing of a dragon's own wounds such as Slyrak, so long as it's kept embedded in its victim's body. Kaden also uses these teeth to call down massive bolts of lightning to electrocute his enemies.

Dragon-forged armor
stuff forged from adult dragon remains, the next best thing to eldwurm-forged equipment armor loaded with all the powers of the eight types of dragons

The blue stuff on his armor suit seems to resemble a chaos dragon's pelt, which is underneath their dark scales and seen through the gaps in their scales. Kaden wears a chaos dragon's hide underneath his suit's cuirass, bracers, gorget, and leg armor. The gaps in his armor that expose the pelt may be meant for ease of movement in his joints.

very tough armor. hard to find gaps in it since mirana couldn't shank him through them with davion's blade. strong enough to protect him from kashurra's energy beams, but not strong enough to save him from being incapacitated.

Air Dragon
Kaden's boots are infused with the elemental power of an air dragon's remains. When their elemental power is activated, they will glow white and emit a ring of air, producing a distinct sound that sounds like a zipper being quickly fastened or opened. His boots inherit the air dragon's ability to emit bursts of air towards the terminus of their tail to propel themselves forward. Directed towards the soles, the air from these boots generate thrust, propelling the wearer a great distance away from a surface. When used in mid-air, these jet boots can extend Kaden's airtime as long as he keeps propelling himself, granting him sustained flight.

In the hands (or feet in this case) of Kaden, he uses them to great effect with his excellent acrobatics. While airborne, Kaden can quickly change the direction that he will travel next by performing a mid-air roll to aim himself to his next direction, allowing him to travel in winding and zigzagging courses to dodge attacks and outmaneuver opponents.

Earth Dragon
Forged from the remains of an adult earth dragon that he slew all by himself, Kaden's "gauntlets" (they are actually bracers, because they have no hand protection) inherit the tectonic strength of an adult earth dragon, making him just as strong as the beast.

With this unnatural boost of toughness, his striking strength increases proportionally to this boost. Their earthly strength synergizes well with his void dragon sword. With the immense strength of a fully-grown earth dragon, Kaden can further enhance his swing speed which is proportionate to the strength behind his sword swing, allowing him to strike much harder. With the earth's strength behind each swing of his voidal blade, each hit that this blade deals against a heavy target can be extremely devastating.

Chaos Dragon
Kaden's cuirass allows him to harness the planeshifting power of chaos dragons. The lines on its breastplate resemble the patterns on a chaos dragon's wings, implying that it's forged from their remains. The innate chaotic power can be toggled on so that Kaden can access the power as long as it's active. While active, his upper armor glows with red energy and it emits a humming sound. With it, he can quickly shift into another plane of existence that transcends matter, causing him to assume an intangible ghost form before vanishing. After that, he can reappear a short distance away or simply teleport in place, akin to disappearing and reappearing in the same position like Puck's.

Besides his cuirass, his helm also uses a chaos dragon's power, albeit for a less combat oriented purpose, but still used in combat nevertheless. Like his armor, the helm has the ability to planeshift, but it doesn't bring him with it. Instead, he uses its chaotic power to teleport the helm away into an extradimensional space when he doesn't need it, causing it to vanish. When he needs to wear it, he can recall it back to him on his head, allowing him to instantly equip and de-equip his helm. Show writer Ashley Miller states that the helm, once it has been banished, is probably still on Kaden's head the whole time.
