Kester Jaynes

[WARNING: A LITTLE SPOILERS FOR THE LAST WILD SERIES]Kester Jaynes is a twelve-year-old boy, who becomes the protagonist of The Last Wild trilogy.

Appearance
Kester Jaynes is a boy with shaggy, brownish hair. He is a little tall and wears a green watch given to him from his mother. He also wears a coat and a scarf most of the time. He also as green eyes. He is described as skinny and became even skinnier throughout the series.

Personality
Due to the fact that he was traumatised by his mother's death, Kester hasn't spoken a word for 6 years. He did not like Spectrum Hall one bit, and seems to care a lot for the animals that he is protecting. When he soon realises that he is the only hope for saving the animals, he gets a little wiser and soon grows into a hero for the animals. He is from the town of Premium.

History
Kester Jaynes used to live with his mother and father, but after his mother died he was captured and locked up in Spectrum Hall for Challenging Children, due to his inability to express words. Being an introverted child, he was nearly always by himself. Though, after six years of being locked up in Spectrum Hall with wardens and horrible doctors, he manages to escape with the help of a hundred pigeons, as well as an army of cockroaches. Despite the fact that Kester is unable to talk to humans, he can converse with creatures - he has the gift of speaking to animals. This is much of the reason why the animals helped to get him out - the last animals, the survivors of the fatal animal virus called the red-eye (or berry-eye, as known by the animals), believed that with the gift, Kester would lead them to safety and find the cure to end the virus.

Kester serves as the protagonist in the three books of the series - The Last Wild, The Dark Wild, and The Wild Beyond.
