Character from Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
The Shu Inferni whose father created jurda parem — kidnapped, rescued, and stuck in Ketterdam as the only person who might be able to recreate the world's most dangerous drug.
Kuwei's father Bo Yul-Bayur created jurda parem — the drug that amplifies Grisha abilities into something terrifying and addictive. After his father was killed, Kuwei became the only person with knowledge of the formula, making him the target of the Ice Court heist and every power play that followed. He is an Inferni (fire Grisha) hiding his abilities in a world that wants to exploit them. He develops feelings for Jesper, which Jesper (focused on Wylan) doesn't reciprocate — adding awkward comedy to his otherwise tense situation. He co-develops the parem antidote with David Kostyk.
Young Shu man with golden-brown skin and dark hair. Quiet, watchful, and understandably paranoid given that every nation wants him dead or captive.
Also known as: Kuwei
