Brennan sounds awesome, though Kenton may have reservations about him being all apostate-y, he'd really want to meet another mage like him he dives in for battle. Sad that they won't meet for a while.
Cyril sounds (and looks!) awesome! Social awkwardness abounds! (If we added Ordhan to the pile we'd be like the trifecta of social skills fail!) But yes, Kent would be most interested in meeting another dwarf. (I imagine he probably met Dagna when she went to the tower to study.)
