Brian "Kyle" Cavendish

Brian Cavendish, better known as "Kyle" due to Harris Travers’ persistent misnaming, is a journalist for the Waldopolis Chronicle.

Appearance:
Brian Cavendish is a slim, somewhat frail-looking millennial man in his mid-30s. His beard and glasses lend him an intellectual, modern look, though his demeanor and posture can come across as slightly unassertive. His overall appearance embodies a mix of thoughtfulness and vulnerability, fitting his reserved and meticulous personality.

Background and Career:

A native of Widdlington, Brian Cavendish grew up in the working-class northern district of Warburton but has since adopted a more metropolitan outlook. After studying journalism at Waldonian University, he joined the Waldopolis Chronicle as an intern and eventually secured a position as a writer, where he has worked for over a decade. Once aspiring to be a serious journalist, Cavendish now finds himself reluctantly covering gossip and celebrity news under Harris Travers’ leadership. Despite frequent threats to resign, he has yet to muster the courage to leave.

Since Travers' return to politics, Cavendish is currently serving as acting Editor in Chief of the Chronicle, though officially the position belongs to Wally Walchak.

Personality:

Brian Cavendish is ethical, meticulous, and reserved, with a preference for well-researched, factual reporting. Though generally passive and preferring the safety of the office over investigative journalism, he occasionally stands his ground, even against Harris Travers. Such rare displays of defiance often provoke Travers’ ire but underscore Cavendish’s growing confidence. His sardonic humor and quick wit make him a vital, if understated, presence in the Chronicle's chaotic newsroom. Despite feeling underappreciated and disillusioned, he demonstrates resilience and reliability under pressure, particularly during the paper's supernatural investigations.
