# Kiro > [!lotvk]- Lineage of the Veiled Kin — Known & Revealed > Kiro was the elderly shopkeeper of [[Riverbend Provisions]] in [[Voran's Well|Voran’s Well]]. He had weathered, tanned skin and smelled faintly of herbs and spices. Both hands and his tongue had been severed, leaving him unable to speak. He communicated with gestures while the party bought supplies. The cause and perpetrators of those injuries were not established. ([[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/01 - Sessions/Session 17 - Voran's Well|Session 17]]) > > ## Death and funeral aftermath > > After the fight with the village’s controllers, Kiro’s body was brought to Elena at the cemetery for Nyxthys’s funeral rites. The narrative does not show how or when he died. He should therefore be recorded as deceased, without assigning an unobserved killing or attributing his earlier mutilations to a named cultist.
