Kai Bakken (MO Character)

This article focuses on the story and character of Kai Bakken.

Kai Bakken: Universe A
Kai Bakken is the main protaginist of Magnum Opus.

History
When we first come to meet him, Kai is an awkward, funny, somewhat intelligent and overall strange teenage boy living his small Wisconsin city of West Bend.

However, he spent the first 7 years of his life living out in the countryside of Kewaskum living on a somewhat secluded pheasant farm with his 3 older siblings and 2 parents. It wasn't until 2004 that he moved to West Bend.

Kai's story in Magnum Opus begins with the MidnightGrunt video "Introduction and Entry#1" where he explains that for the past year he has been strucken with strange/unexplainable ailments such as chronic headaches, twitching muscles, paranoia and even memory loss.

The Magnum Opus Folder
It wasn't until November 27th that Kai had noticed an unrecognized folder sitting on his desktop screen titled "Your Magnum Opus". Kai investigated it's contents and hundreds of video files popped up on screen. The video files were anywhere from 5-15 minutes long, each featuring strange footage of Kai and sometimes his friends talking about strange things and going to weird places.

When Kai looked at a few of the videos, he claimed in the introduction that he had no memory of making any of the videos and that it was the first time he had seen any of them. Kai then goes onto say that he will begin a full on investigation about the Magnum Opus folder and he states that he will post regular journal entries to YouTube containing his findings.

Kai Bakken: Universe B
Kai from universe B shares many of the same life-events as Kai Bakken from universe A, however the two differ very much from eachother.

Kai's life was hard and stressful after the loss of his parents when he was just 10 years old(which hadn't happened to Kai A). He perfomed poorly in school and often acted out. However, this did not affect his ability to make friends and perform as a leader.

Kai continued down a dark path of violence and petty crimes with his friends. This is how he made his living for some time until he eventually came across the Order who offered to take him in as their own. Kai was only 13 when he joined. Kai learned of what the Order was about and quickly became the most quickly witted one of their members.

Kai soon persuaded his friends Jon and Charley to join the Order and together they formed a squad.

This entire path of Kai's life turned into his beginnings of Nightingale, leader of the Fifth Element.
