Killian Gardiner



Killian Gardiner is a powerful warlock one of the main characters of Witches of East End. Killian is the son of the late Penelope Gardiner, the younger brother of Dash Gardiner, and the husband of the late Eva Gardiner.

Personality
Killian is brooding and incredibly sexy, and his thrall over Freya doesn’t bode well for her engagement to his brother, especially when she feels the same way about him. Freya and Killian are soul mates, however, they have both been told their relationship is doomed and can only end in death and it was time for them to change the cycle by seers and tarot readers.

Early Life
The black sheep of the family, Killian was kicked out of every prep school on the East Coast, and has never had a real relationship with a woman. He holds a lot of resentment toward his older brother Dash Gardiner, and Dash believes that Killian blames him for Killian's own failings.

5 years prior to the start of the series, Killian slept with Dash's then-fiancée Elyse, three months before their wedding day. When Dash found out, it drove a wedge between the brothers, cementing a bitter rivalry that remains to this day. After Dash cancelled the wedding, Killian left East Haven, and the brothers had not seen or spoken to each other since.
