A boy who longs for adventure and glory. His dream is to one day become an airship pilot and soar through the blue skies of Altera.
Upon reading Kevin's dialogue and commissions, the player learns that his father, an adventurer, died when he was young, leaving him with only his mother. In place of his father, Hubert watches after him. The two have a close bond, to the point where Kevin calls Hubert his Uncle.
To befriend Kevin, you must complete the quest The Invisible Man. Giving gifts to Kevin increases Fondness Points with Hubert, and vice versa, while increasing aversion with the Invisible Thief. Giving gifts to Irine also increases Kevin's Fondness. Between 30 and 50 fondness points, Kevin gifts a pair of goggles that reportedly help increase fondness. The gifts Kevin like are:
That was a pretty big shock, finding out my dad was just an engineer and an adventurer. The adventurer part is kinda cool, I guess, but why did he have to be a stinky ol' engineer? That's so boring! I bet if my dad had been a pilot, he could have gotten me one of those awesome hats.
You miss your daddy? (+1.00 Fondness)
Huh! N-no! Not at all! (Kevin puffs his chest out.) My mom said only five-year-olds cry and say they miss their daddies. Since I'm a big, tough man, I don't cry about baby stuff like that. But... Sometimes, I see him in my dreams. My daddy gives me a piggy-back ride and even lets me ride the airship with him. Hee hee... (Kevin looks at his father's ring.)
Hey, engineers are cool, too. (+/- ?.?? Fondness)
Pfft, whatever. Nothing is as cool as being a pilot. Except maybe being a captain. My dad totally wasn't cool... But... I sometimes see my father in my dreams. When I see him, he looks so cool, whether he's a crew member or an engineer. Hee hee. (Kevin gazes at his father's ring.)
You should become a crew member, then. (+2.00 Fondness)
Yeah. Yeah! I totally should! And then, when I get married and have kids, my kids can talk about how cool their daddy is! Hee hee! You've got such great ideas, {user_nick}! (Kevin jumps up and down with sheer joy.)
Yeah, my dad is a airship pilot. Jealous? (+?.?? Aversion)
R-really? With the awesome hat and everything...? That must be...nice for you... *Sniff* (Looks like you made Kevin cry. You monster.)

Are you and Hubert friends?
I think Hubert is kinda like my uncle. He's cool sometimes, and looks out for me, but sometimes he nags me so much! I hate that! Oh, that reminds me...his birthday is coming soon. What should I get him? Hmm...
Get him a nice Alteran Punch. (+0.67 Fondness)
Ooh, that's a good idea! That stuff is super good, too. I think I've seen him drink that before. I think it was Alteran Punch...he drank a couple bottles and then got really silly. He must love it!
Um, I'm not sure that was Alteran Punch... Oh, really? Then maybe I should get him what he was drinking. Do you know where I can get some? I don't know if I can afford enough bottles of it, though. He drank a LOT... (Kevin starts counting his copper.)
Yeah, that's true! Especially about Hubert. He really, REALLY loves sweets! I even saw him eat an entire jar of honey one time!
Wow. That's just...wow. I know, right? He's like a big kid sometimes. Hee hee, maybe I should play a trick on him, then! Let's get him a shortcake with a bunch of pepper in it! Hee hee, that would be so funny!
He could probably use a new shaving razor. (+?.?? Fondness)
A razor? Those are kinda expensive, aren't they? Especially those new ones with, like, seventeen blades. I could afford one with, like, one blade. Would that work? Wait...does Hubert shave? I don't think I've ever seen him...
Really? That's kinda...gross. Mm. Well, it's the thought that counts, right? I thought about it, so maybe I'll just get him a pet rock instead.

So, what's your dream?
Are you kidding? I'm gonna be the super-bestest most awesome airship pilot in the whole wide world! You know that, right? Hey how about you? What's YOUR dream?
I want to be a great hero. (+?.?? Fondness)
Wow, that sounds really cool! You're gonna be a big hero like Varnak? That's awesome. (Kevin's eyes are wide.)
Yep. That's the plan. But wait, wait, wait. If you're gonna be a hero, you need a bad guy to fight, right? Where are you gonna find a bad guy? 'Cause, like, he can't be too strong, 'cause then you can't beat him. That would suck.
I'm, er, working on that part... Okay, but if you can't find anybody, you tell me, okay? Maybe if you need my help, I'll become an airship pirate, instead! They get cool hats too, right?
I just want to follow my destiny. (+?.?? Aversion)
Destiny? I think I heard about that once from Adeline. That's like...when you can't choose what you're gonna do, or something. It's already planned, right? Doesn't that kinda suck?
Hm? Ah, I don't think it "sucks", per se... Sounds funky to me. Like, I remember this one time when I was talking to Adeline about my dad. She said it was his destiny to die on that mission. If that's how destiny works, I don't want any of it.
Well, that's the thing. You don't get to choose your destiny... Oh, MAN! I just had, like, the worst thought EVER. What if my destiny is to be a farmer or something stupid like that?! Or...what if my destiny IS to be an airship pilot? But then... Aahhh, my head! Why did you have to confuse me so bad?!
I want to be the first passenger on your airship. (+2.00 Fondness)
REALLY?! (Kevin tries to compose himself.) Ahem, so, you want to board my airship, hm? Well, you'll need to get in line and buy a ticket, just like everyone else. Ahem.
Oh, come on! Hee hee... I'm just kidding! When I become a pilot, you'll be the very first person I bring aboard! And then, we can go anywhere in the whole world! Where do you want to go? Should we find a dragon to fight? Or a hidden treasure?
I'll go wherever you want to take me, buddy. Wow... Okay, then. Let's go visit my mom! (Kevin's eyes sparkle.)

What's your favorite food?
Oh, meat pie! Meat pie is, like, the best food in the whole world! I mean, Alteran Punch is good too, but meat pie totally beats it. Hey...can you make meat pie with Alteran Punch...inside? Whoa, I think I just blew my mind! Hee hee. So, what's your favorite food?
Yeah, I totally love meat too. (+2.00 Fondness)
Yeah, meat is just super awesome. I love when you bite into a meat pie and all the warm juices and stuff splash out and get all over your face. Then, when you lick your lips, your face is delicious, too! Ha ha! (Kevin looks so happy just imagining.)
Hee hee. That sounds great. Oh, hey. I did hear something that was kinda scary. You know May, the crazy girl, right? Well, I heard that HER special meat pie is made from Spitflowers from Saint's Haven! Have you heard that? It's so nasty! Do you think it's true?
Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me... Ugh, NASTY! I really, really hope it's not true. I mean, can you even eat those horrible things? Man...May is really scary...
Celery. I'm on a diet... (+?.?? Aversion)
A diet? Really? You don't need to be on a diet. You look fat because you're all grown up, right? I mean, you're a bit bigger than other old people, but...
Kevin, buddy...stop talking. I'm just sayin'...how can you be on a diet with all these awesome foods in the world? You don't really look THAT fat... (Kevin starts looking at you from different angles. Time to leave, before you kill him.)
I like cakes. (-1.00 Fondness)
Oh, I do too. Well, I did...I kinda ate a whole one by myself a few weeks ago. All that frosting looked so good... That was a terrible idea. (Kevin pats his belly sadly.)

What are you afraid of?
Me? I'm not afraid of anything! A super awesome airship pilot doesn't have time to be scared. But I know what everyone else is scared of. Like, I know Hubert is scared of something called "gremlins". I've never seen one, but he said they can get in an airship and make the whole thing crash! Sometimes I hear him shouting, "It's on the wing! It's on the wing!" Crazy, huh?
Yeah. Maybe he IS nuts. Oh, and May is scared of people finding out that she mixes mushrooms into her potions, 'cause the healing herbs are too expensive, she said. I guess the mushrooms make people feel good or confused or something, so they don't notice that the potion doesn't work. Isn't that funny?
...What? She does what?! I guess...maybe...we'll, I'm kinda scared of math. All those numbers getting mashed up and turned into other numbers... I mean, why does 3 plus 4 have to equal 7? Maybe 3 and 4 want to be their own numbers! Maybe they just want to be 34 instead! (Kevin looks up at you sheepishly.) Okay, that's kind of a dumb fear. Forget that one. Doesn't count.
Heh. But remember, it's a SECRET. Y'know, you're probably the only person in Carderock who hasn't told me what they're scared of. So, what is it? Monsters? I bet it's monsters.
Oh, yeah. Monsters, for sure. (+2.00 Fondness)
I knew it. Monsters are scary, I guess. Still, how can you be an adventurer if you're scared of monsters? My mom told me, this one time, that true courage isn't about being fearless, it's about overcoming your fear. So, I guess if you can fight the monsters you're scared of, and beat them, then...that's good!
Minotaurs. (+1.00 Fondness)
Minotaurs? I hear that one a lot. I guess 'cause they're so big and mean and dangerous and kill lots of people. But I always tell people, "Don't be afraid of a big cow! Even if it has a giant axe!" Because, like, if you get really super strong and fast, you can run right around them and punch them in the nose, or, or, kick them in the butt! That'll show 'em! (Kevin gets all excited and starts play-fighting the air.)
Women. (+?.?? Aversion)
What, you mean, like, girls? Girls aren't scary! Why does everyone say that? The only girl that I would ever say is scary is Tiana, and that's just 'cause I saw what she did to that orc that tried to rob her.
Oh. Yikes. But still! Besides her, what's there to be afraid of? (Kevin looks you up and down knowingly.) Or...are you just afraid of rejection?
What?! I... You... Look, there's no sense worrying about things like that. Women like confident people. You just be yourself, be honest, and if you are rejected, shrug it off and move on. No one has any good reason to be afraid of women. Except Hubert. (Kevin nods sagaciously.)
Money. (+?.?? Aversion)
Money?! That's the weirdest thing I've EVER heard! Money can't hurt you. It doesn't bite, it doesn't scratch, and it doesn't tell you to finish your vegetables or clean your room. Besides, everyone is always trying to get MORE money! What, do you just run from it or something? Weirdo.
No, see, it's more like I'm afraid of NOT having money. Ohhh, okay. That makes a lot more sense. I know a few people like that. And my parents used to fight about money sometimes. Seems like we'd be better off without it, ya know? We could just share everything, and not worry about who owns what. Wouldn't that be nice? (Kevin smiles innocently.)
