Ken Ewers

Ken Ewers is a resident of Arefu

Background
Ken is terrified of the current attacks that have been plaguing Arefu. He masks this by being incredibly short and gruff with strangers and will only impart the smallest tidbits of useless information to them. He is fiercely overprotective of his wife Brailee and will interpose himself if anyone even tries speaking with her. He is paranoid and lacks physical fighting skills. At the moment all he cares about is his and his wife's lives, and his wife's delusional mental state.

His wife's mentality was brought about by the combination of all the trouble around Arefu, living off a poor diet of prepackaged "food" and being confined to their home with Ken for long periods of time. In her delusion, she has compensated by creating a utopian world inside her mind. Although he has grown dismissive of her mental state he is rightfully concerned when she lets a stranger into their home believing them to be the mailman with the fall fashion catalog. In her delusion, she believes that she is baking, however, she is usually breaking things about the house. Due to this, Ken has started to get better at fixing things around the home.

After the Family began targeting Arefu for sustenance, and their culmination of the murder of the brahmin, Evan King put the settlement into lockdown, leaving himself as the sole guard. Ken does not believe that this will make them any safer and believes that they need to take action. He, however, follows what King tells him to do as the settlement's leader. With the death of the elder Wests he will contemplate abandoning his home in Arefu to start anew someplace safer.
