Gutten Kisling

"" Gutten Kisling, typically referred to as Kisling, is a party member in Okage: Shadow King. Kisling is first encountered in the Forest of Willkur, where he introduces himself to Ari and Stan. Later, after Rosalyn joins the team, he confronts the party outside of Madril, and asks to come along with them, to study the ghosts they find.

Kisling is a scholar and ghost researcher, and although he seems a bit creepy, and exhibits traits of a stalker, he is shown to have a very high level of intellect, and is known by many side characters as the "famous ghost professor".

For Kisling's special moves, see the Specials page.

Recruitment
Kisling will confront the party just as they exit the upper deck of Madril, into Rashelo. He states that he wishes to follow Rosalyn around, as she causes more ghosts to appear, which he wants to study. Rosalyn is against it at first, but after Kisling compliments her, and Stan states that he is against the idea of Kisling joining, Rosalyn happily welcomes him to the team.

Personality
Kisling is shown to be somewhat creepy, interacting with young women in very romantic manners. However, he is also shown to have a very high level of intelligence.

Kisling is very confident in his intelligence, introducing himself to each person he meets and expecting them to know and respect him. It fails often, but in some cases, such as the Madril research center, he is recognized and praised.

Other party members tend to ignore Kisling, or state that his use of uncommon words annoys them.

Rosalyn
Kisling takes an interest in Rosalyn, making romantic gestures towards her and causing her to get flustered.

Stan
Stan seems to have some degree of respect for Kisling.
