Kai is one of the first Companions you'll meet in *Avowed*, joining your party early in the game at the port of Dawnshore near Paradis. As a former mercenary with a heart of gold, Kai is your go-to tank. His robust combat style allows him to both absorb and dish out significant damage. Additionally, his fire abilities are invaluable for clearing obstacles like cobwebs and roots, helping you uncover hidden paths and treasure.

- Second Win, Passive: Revives himself at 50% health when his health reaches zero.
Marius
Marius, another early recruit, can be found in Dawnshore. With a shared history with Kai, Marius joins your party at a bar, where you can either talk your way out of a conflict or engage in combat. As an expert hunter and tracker, Marius enhances your ability to find loot and crafting materials.

As an animancer, she delves into controversial magic, playing a crucial role in unraveling the spiritual mysteries of *Avowed*. In combat, Giatta acts as a support, healing, shielding, and buffing your party. Her Spectral Jolt ability is particularly useful for powering Essence Generators and uncovering hidden loot.

Yatzli, the final Companion, joins you in the Shatterscarp region within the city of Thirdborn during a main quest. A master of magic, Yatzli focuses on dealing damage, with spells effective for both single targets and crowd control. Her ability to clear obstacles with magic makes her invaluable for exploration in the Living Lands.
