Half way through Incarceron, a few things stand out to me, there are two main characters (switching back and forth between them gets tiring), and that the cooler characters are their "sidekicks", not the main characters themselves. Keiro is Finn's (Finn is the protagonist that is in the prison, Incarceron) oathbrother, and is always there for Finn. Jared is Claudia's tutor Outside (Claudia is the protagonist Outside Incarceron). But Keiro is the character with more depth, but who is also pretty awesome. Every time Finn needs help or blacks out, Keiro takes care of him. Keiro is also a fighter, albeit, much more of a doer than a thinker. When Keiro, Finn, and Gildas begin their journey to escape from Incarceron, they are caught trying to leave their clan, the Comitatus, the clan's brutal and fiersome leader Jormanric catches them in the act. The fleeing group of three are trapped and surrounded by the rest of their clan, but Keiro summons up some courage and challenges Jormanric to a duel to be leader of the clan. This is the last hope for Finn and his group but Keiro stepped up to the plate. Against all odds, Keiro defeats Jormanric and Finn can escape with his friends and the key.

This picture symbolizes the fight between Keiro and Jormanric because of how they both used to be on the same side, but they end up fighting eachother when their paths go in separate directions. Obviously, this storyline is much cooler in Star Wars episode 3,  when Obi-Wan and Anakin fight eachother, but it correlates to Keiro and Jormanric in Incarceron as well.

There are some endearing qualities about Keiro, but in the end, if he saw a 100 dollar bill on the ground, he would pick it up and stuff it into his pocket immediately. In Incarceron, Finn lets on how he knows that Keiro takes inn's share of the bounty and loot after each raid, but Finn won't let on that he knows. Keiro is selfish quite often, and can't help thinking about himself more often than not.

But come on, if you found a 100 dollar bill on the ground, in today's economy...would you really turn it into the authorities?
