Mod:Dawn of America/Dank Kenis

Chieftain Cenk Kenis is a character and a minor antagonist that appears in the third quest of Dawn of America, "Collateral Damage". He was the chieftain of the techies tribe and the second-in-command to "Overt Seer" Denvise.

Background
Cenk Kenis was born in 2265 in the Mole's Lair distribution facility. In 2281, following the unexpected death of Chieftain Samuels in the Brimmer station, Overt Seer Denvise named Kenis the new Chieftain, to the dismay of many of his fellow techies.

Under Cenk Kenis' leadership, techies embarked on an effort to establish stable trade relations with communities on the surface, albeit, as years passed, Kenis achieved little progress. His subordinates suffered from unnecessary control, Kenis' voluntarism, and his unwillingness to change his opinions when asked to. The latter's hot-headed attitude undermined many deals with prominent vendors.

Cenk Kenis also unsuccessfully tried to form a team to rebuild some collapsed sections of the Mole's Lair, however no tribal wanted to work under Kenis' leadership. Denvise paid little attention to Kenis' gross mismanagement, as the former was troubled by visions of the destruction of his tribe by an enemy he knew nothing about. Denvise felt that Kenis would have a pivotal role in creating an opportunity to defeat them. Cenk Kenis meets his end in the Mole's Lair at the hands of Corporal Daisy Gallagher, who was annoyed by the former's gibberish and hindering her unit's progress. Regardless of the player's actions, there is no way to save Cenk Kenis.

Characteristics
Cenk Kenis was known as an insufferable and unbending leader, who ignored the opinions of others and only cared for his own opinion. Even when someone demonstrated irrefutable arguments, Cenk Kenis confessed that he wanted to do something in a certain way he likes the most and that he couldn't care less what others thought. It is also evident that Cenk Kenis was extremely arrogant, as he tried to evict a group of heavily armed Enclave soldiers wearing power armor while being unarmed and backed by a mentally deficient bodyguard carrying a pipe gun.
