Denry Kiln, Editor in Chief is a leonin advisor in New Capenna.

Description[ | ]

Denry is the owner of the Capenna Herald. He has a well-manicured mane.[1]

Nothing is sacred in New Capenna anymore, not since the angels left. No story — real or imagined — is off limits if it means moving ink and paper. What matters to the newsman is that the news, warts and all, gets to the eyes of the people and that his paper gets the news to them first. For the working people of the Caldaia and the Mezzio, it might be the labor reports, boxing recaps, and bridge announcements. For the socialites and playboys of Park Heights, it may be the society pages, the gossip columns, and the stock numbers. For the five families, it might be the obituaries, the classifieds, or what passes for the crime beat: the broadsheets of New Capenna are as much at war over readership as the five families are over Halo. This is a war that Denry Klin is determined to win.

History[ | ]

Born into the gray guild of reporters, Denry Klin knows the news. His ascension to the role of editor-in-chief of the Capenna Herald was no less brutal for its bloodless achievement. In his mind, the warring papers of New Capenna — the Caldaia Union-Post, the Mezzio Star-Times, the Park Heights Zenith, the New Capenna Vanguard, and his own Capenna Herald — are the "sixth family" of the city. What they lack in enforcers and muscle they replace with beat reporters, gossip columnists, and photographers; though they might not stack bodies, they shine a light on those who do — unless the killer is willing to pay to kill the story as well.[2]

Denry Klin played a significant role in the unfolding investigation conducted by the Obscura agents Kamiz and Queza. Initially, Denry attempted to downplay the involvement of one of his reporters, Lacey Lanine, in the events surrounding an implosion at an abandoned warehouse. He described Lacey as someone who only wrote "fluff pieces" for the society pages, thereby casting doubt on her potential involvement in any significant investigative work or conspiracy.

However, Denry's dismissive attitude towards Lacey only raised the agents' suspicion. Denry was unaware that Lacey had been more deeply involved, as she was seen delivering a bottle of Halo to the warehouse before the implosion. This act contradicted Denry's description and suggested a hidden agenda or ambition on Lacey's part, possibly involving the theft of Halo from the Cabaretti to create a sensational story.

As the investigation progressed, it became clear that Denry underestimated Lacey's ambitions and the gravity of her actions. This underestimation may have been a contributing factor to the events that unfolded, including the disastrous experimentation with Halo that compromised the visions of seers across New Capenna.<ref name="Expect">
