Kirkis is an idealistic elf who believed that Kwanda Rosman was planning to exterminate the Village of the Elves. Leaving his home, Kirkis journeyed to Toran Castle and begged Tir McDohl to help. Though lacking the manpower to launch a military assault against Kwanda Rosman, the Toran Liberation Army agreed to send a covert unit to investigate.

Kirkis led Tir McDohl's party back to the Village of the Elves, but received a cold reception from the Chief of the Elves, who was unconvinced Kwanda represented any great danger. The Chief of the Elves, further angered by Kirkis leaving without permission and daring to bring back humans, imprisoned Kirkis and his party.

Sylvina, Kirkis' lover, freed Kirkis and Tir, who travelled onward to the Village of the Dwarves.

They were able to eventually secure an alliance with the Chief of the Dwarves. However, on their way back to the Village of the Elves, they saw the Great Forest burning. When they arrived, they found the village decimated by the Burning Mirror.

While crossing through Kobold Village, Kirkis and Tir were ambushed by Scarlet Moon Empire soldiers. Reinforcements from the Toran Liberation Army quickly came to relieve them. Stallion and Sylvina had warned Mathiu of the dangers of the Burning Mirror and Kirkis was quickly reunited with a delighted Sylvina, who he appeared to reveal his intentions to marry.

After the Toran Liberation Army proved victorious in the Battle at Pannu Yakuta Castle, Kirkis asked to join.

Kirkis served the Toran Liberation Army throughout the Gate Rune War, acting as a scout prior to the last battle. During the course of the war, Kirkis was reunited with his acquaintance Rubi, who congratulated Kirkis for becoming a great warrior.

Following the end of the Toran Liberation War, Kirkis helped to rebuild the Village of the Elves, married Sylvina and welcomed Rubi back into the village. By the time of the Dunan Unification War, Kirkis had become the Village Elder.
