Kele

Kele is a character in the Endless Summer series. He is first seen in Book 3, Chapter 4.

Appearance
Kele has black curly unkempt hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. He wears a caramel shirt under a gray-brown vest, and sports two silver dog tags held by a thin black cord around his neck. He has a gray-brown rucksack strapped to his back.

Personality
Kele is shown to be kind, hospitable, and charismatic, keeping his cool despite Sean's candid misgivings about him. His charm easily seduced Michelle, Quinn, and Diego. He seems perfectly fine with getting away from the violence of war, and bonds quickly with Jake for their history in the military. He is a skilled chef, gaining Raj's instant friendship, and plays the guitar as a hobby.

History
Kele started off as a soldier in World War II before his ship was sunk by German u-boats. He paddled to La Huerta and has been completely unaware of the time anomalies, claiming that the last calendar he checked was in 1941.

Trivia

 * He was first seen in a bonus scene at the end of Act 6 in Book 2, Chapter 15; presumably looking at the the smoke that might have been the helicopter the Catalysts rode on before crashing.
 * The writing for Kele is inspired by the song, We'll Meet Again by The Ink Spots.
