'''Kanrik''' is a thief.  He is a [[Blue]] [[Gelert]] and is currently leader of the Thieves Guild. He betrayed his former leader [[Galem]] at the proddings of [[Masila]], and tried to overthrow him with the help of the [[Bringer of Night]], but failed in his attempt, and was banished. Disgruntled after being poisoned by Masila and abandoned by the Thieves guild, he joined forces with [[Hannah]] and [[Armin]]. Together they successfully saved the [[Bori]] in [[Terror Mountain]].

Ultimately, Kanrik defeated Galem and took his place as leader of the Thieves Guild. Before returning however, he carried Hannah, weakened from her cursed condition, to [[Taelia]] for medical assistance. Rumour has it that Hannah and Kanrik remain in close contact to this day.

Kanrik and his fellow thieves were tasked with finding a mysterious treasure by their leader Galem. When he found an [[Hannah|adventurous Usul]] telling her tales of daring do, he made up a story of "his sister and his village" suffering a strange illness and needing a way to save them. They traveled to the Lost Desert together, where they entered an unknown tomb laden with traps. Hannah was then hit with a strange curse and was left for dead, while Kanrik and a couple of his comrades carried anything they could find; in this case, a coffin. Later, in Terror Mountain, [[Masila]] coaxed the Gelert into opening the coffin and use whatever was in there to overthrowing Galem. At first reluctant in betraying his leader, he went against his better judgment and released a creature from the coffin, [[The Bringer of Night]]. After a clash between the creature's army and his guild, Kanrik was banished from the guild. He was then knocked out with a poisonous liquid by Masila, and tossed into a random spot in Terror Mountain.

Kanrik and his fellow thieves were tasked with finding a mysterious treasure by their leader Galem.

They travelled to the Lost Desert together, where they entered an unknown tomb laden with traps. Hannah was then hit with a strange curse and was left for dead, while Kanrik and a couple of his comrades carried anything they could find; in this case, a coffin. Galem thought to use the creature inside the coffin to steal a treasure from deep under the ice of Terror Mountain. After reaching the Mountain, however, Masila coaxed the Kanrik into opening the coffin and using it to overthrow Galem. At first reluctant in betraying his leader, he went against his better judgement and released a creature from the coffin, the Bringer of Night. After a clash between the creature's army and his guild, Kanrik was banished from the guild. He was then knocked out with a poisonous liquid by Masila, and abandoned on Terror Mountain.

He soon ran into Hannah and a mysterious Neopet and, after a brief clash of their own, offered to make up for his past transgressions and join them in stopping his old guild and the monster's army. They ran into Armin's species, the Bori, who helped them push back the guild. After the Bringer of Night was finally killed, Kanrik and Armin carried Hannah to the top of the mountain where Taelia was able to lift the curse and save Hannah's life.
