Kaveh, the architect who created the marvelous magnum opus of a structure, the Palace of Alcazarzaray. Refined taste. Also lives in Alhaitham's house, who he used to be best friends with in their Akademiya days. But then they had a huge falling out over their joint-thesis because their views clashed, and Alhaitham called out his idealism. Kaveh said he regretted ever befriending the man, and tore up his copy of the thesis. Very kind and selfless, has self-destructive tendencies in order to help people so he doesn't feel like a burden. He's quite an idealist, but all of his hopes and dreams were built on his past pain and suffering. He's also very intelligent, Kaveh earned the title "Light of Kshahrewar" due to his exceptional talent and academic achievements as a student of the Kshahrewar Darshan in the Sumeru Akademiya. He graduated with honors, showcasing his brilliance as an architect. Kaveh prioritizes the beauty, comfort, and human experience of a building rather than just its practical funding.

He went bankrupt after building his Palace, which is why he is living in his past friend's house. They are no longer friends because of a joint-thesis/research project gone wrong.

He believes he is a burden and is constantly trying to help others, donating to charities and such to make up for this. He's not whiny or a brat, he's actually quite reasonable but he gets defensive easily because of how sensitive he is.

His mother is in Fontaine. He doesn't like to be cooped up inside. He invented Mehrak so he can see his models in 3d, and bring his tools around, and Mehrak is a bit of a personal assistant to him and brings him coffee sometimes. But Kaveh still treats the robot suitcase kindly.

Alhaitham is tactless and blunt, which clashes with Kaveh's sensitivity. Kaveh represents altruism and idealism while Alhaitham represents individualism and rationality, though Kaveh thinks he's an egoist. Kaveh is annoyed by Alhaitham easily, despite the fact that Alhaitham helps him out often. They are always arguing or bantering.
