Kai

Kai (born Kai Escolano on September 2nd, 2015) is a survivor and member of NOX. He is the eldest member of the group and is viewed as the "co-leader" due to him helping Noelle lead the members from time to time.

Early Life
Kai was born on September 2nd, 2015, in Busan, South Korea. A few months after his birth, he was adopted by Betty Escolano and relocated to Manhattan, New York. About three years later, in 2018, Betty adopted Josie who became Kai's younger adoptive sister.

He attended an unknown school until 2024 where he attended Saint Lucia School with Josie. Four years later, he graduated and went to Gabrielius High School, a private Catholic high school.

PV-29
"Main Article: PV-29"Months following the PV-29 outbreak, most of those who were infected experienced sudden death or other symptoms of the Shadows. As a result, all schools that were opened were ordered to shut down to protect the staff and children. At some point, Kai was persuaded by Noelle to help her escape the building with their other friends.

The Split of NOX
Two years after the outbreak, Kai reluctantly allowed Noelle, Olive, and Jackson to go on a raid near Waterbury, Connecticut. After no response from the unit, the group traveled down to the city to search for the three other members.
