Kaust is a dryad detective from Ravnica. He works for the Ravnican Agency of Magicological Investigations.[1]
Description
Kaust is one of the Ravnican Agency of Magicological Investigations' fast-rising stars.[2] He has an exceptional talent for investigative work and a charismatic personality that convinces even the most reluctant witnesses to trust him. In addition to the Agency's comprehensive resources, he cultivates his network of friends and informants that allows him to keep a finger on the pulse of the local community and hear news before anyone else.
For those who don't know him well, Kaust's gentle demeanor deceives them into thinking he's just a grunt concerned with solving cases and little more.[2] In truth, his mildness hides a deep resentment against the guilds, which he believes are restricting the Agency's ability to solve cases by clinging tightly to their jurisdictional rights. To Kaust, criminal convictions aren't nearly as important as the health of a community. If turning in a culprit is for the greater good, then he hands the case over to the appropriate authorities, just as he should. But if giving up a culprit would do more harm than good, he's not above simply "misplacing" a case file or using his network to leak information that gives the culprit a chance to disappear.
Trivia
