Kiefer is a young man with fair skin, roguish good looks, blue eyes, and messy blond hair. He is noticeably taller than the Hero and Maribel, which is especially apparent in the Nintendo 3DS version. He wears a red prince's tunic with blue slashes, grey leggings tucked into red socks, black leather boots and gloves, and carries a longsword in a scabbard on his back. | Kiefer is a young man with fair skin, roguish good looks, blue eyes, and messy blond hair.

In the beginning of the game, Kiefer has been described with "having a taste for wine, women, and adventure". He hates being in the castle all the time, so he and the Hero like to go off and explore the [[Shrine of Mysteries|forbidden ruins]] on the island. In contrast, he seems to resent his position as Prince, a feeling that puts him at odds with [[King Donald|his father]]. He can come off as snobbish at times, like in [[Ballymolloy]], he introduces his friends as lackeys.

The next day, Kiefer steals the sunstone, a ring that belonged to his mother, and a scroll from the royal library. It shows a picture of a man with a scepter. Kiefer interprets it to be the same as a statue in the Ruins. He tries putting the sunstone on the statue but nothing happens. Frustrated, he leaves the scroll with the Hero who takes it to the Sage at the Cliff. The Sage interprets it and tells them that in order to open the ruins the Chosen One must pray before the statue. | ||

The Roamers celebrate their new dancer with singing, dancing, and wine. Lala, however, is distant and hides in her tent. The {{Hero 7}} and Kiefer enter the tent with some Spirit of the Dance, a powerful wine. Kiefer asks her why she isn't celebrating with the others. She tells them that she doesn't feel like it. Lala asks her where they are from, to which he replies [[Estard]]. She asks where it is and he responds that it is out in the ocean. He tells her that there is a prince in that castle who loves to weasel out of his responsibilities. Lala tells him that she can relate, to the surprise of Kiefer. | The Roamers celebrate their new dancer with singing, dancing, and wine. Lala, however, is distant and hides in her tent.

When the tribe is asleep, monsters attack the tribe. The tribe's Gaurdian, Boldo, is fending off monsters with Kiefer. Boldo is poisoned by one of the monsters. Kiefer, who is protecting Lala, defeats an [[Ulcer]]. When the Hero talks to Kiefer, he tells them that they could have used his swordsmanship. Boldo is cured of poison. However, he is unable to go with the rest of the tribe to the Altar of the Almighty. Lala, his daughter, refuses to go without her father so she decides to wait until her father gets better. Kiefer volunteers to protect both of them until they are ready to make the journey. Florin refuses at first, saying that this is just a ploy by Kiefer to take Lala away from him. He then decides to stay with Lala as well. However, Rom Baro, the tribal chief rebukes him, saying that they need Florin's torban playing to fend off the monsters. Florin relents to this request. | When the tribe is asleep, monsters attack the tribe. The tribe's Gaurdian, Boldo, is fending off monsters with Kiefer. Boldo is poisoned by one of the monsters.
