— Kai

Kai was the hero's former bo staff instructor, living in the household of Teo McDohl. One day he disappeared, only saying that he was going for a walk and never returning. Years later, during the Gate Rune War, Kai encountered the hero again at the Fortress of Garan, where Kai wanted to journey west, but was prevented from doing so and offered his services and support to the Toran Liberation Army.

Even after becoming leader of the Liberation Army, the hero always referred to Kai as "Master Kai." Kai's presence helped to bolster the hero's heart as he suffered from having to duel his own father over the course of the war In battle, Kai used his Hazy Rune as well as numerous other stunning tricks to gain the upper hand in battle. His staff is quite long, slightly taller than Kai himself and is of a simple design, save for the gold tips on either end.

Following the formation of the Toran Republic, Kai became one of the country's Six Great Generals and instructed troops in the use of bo staffs. By the year 475, Kai vacated his position and currently holds the title of Honorary General.
