Kvothe (kəˈvōTH) is the main character in The Kingkiller Chronicle.

Description

Kvothe has pale skin and green eyes, though the intensity of this color is often noted as changing throughout the series. His eyes are similar to the description of his mother's eyes. He has extremely red hair often compared to a flame. He is exceptionally intelligent, quick-witted, sharp-tongued and clever, as well as a talented musician. He is also very curious, a quality that often gets him into trouble. He has a nasty temper, and acts reckless when emotional.

Early Life

Kvothe was born to Arliden and Laurian, the leaders of a troupe of Edema Ruh known as Lord Greyfallow's Men. His early education was spotty - mostly focusing on music and acting.

In his adolescence, Kvothe meets an arcanist named Abenthy, and witnesses the arcanist call the name of the wind to frighten off town officials who are pestering him.
