Kenneth Smit is an Artificer specializing in Artillerism who joins Grokko and Vichthart when their ship, The Crested Eagle, sank in a mysterious storm off the coast near Meeresdorf. Known for his use of the Magic Stone cantrip, for which Grokko calls him Stone Boy. Builds a pair of goggles that bestow night vision that he shares with Vichthart until his departure, and begins making eldritch cannons that can function as a flamethrower. Kenneth goes triggerhappy when he first uses his flamethrower, cutting down smugglers as they try to flee.

Kenneth used to fight alongside Kerstin Pletscher near the Sternwall, Bükerstadt, but hails originally from somewhere not far south of Hellenhelm. His friend Nikola has not been found since Bükerstadt was occupied by orcs. According to a rumour heard by Vichthart on The Crested Eagle, Kenneth once made a small fortune in the south running a trade caravan.

Kenneth began staying behind to protect others starting in Droghen’s keep, when he stays in the dungeon to protect its human prisoners. He then stays in Meeresdorf while Grokko, Kham and Vicht find Dancing in the Storm to keep the village protected in case Droghen decides to attack it. After that, he again stays with the island's slaves instead of going to confront Srir. He elects to leave the party permanently once Srir is defeated, taking his Goggles of the Night with him.
