The Stone Golem saves her energies for the art of combat. Not the art of gum flapping, as my lady describes it. And that's why I'm here. What do you want, outsider? And make it quick, I'm a busy man.
— Bayan's greeting
Bayan is an advisor to the Stone Golem of Shek Kingdom. He can be found in the Faction HQ in Admag, unless World States have moved the Shek HQ.
He has a Fearful Personality.
Bayan is supposedly the one who influenced Queen Esata's decision to make peace with United Cities in order to reverse the slow decline of the Shek population.
Statistics
Interactions
Bayan can be talked to in order to propose an alliance with the Shek. He will only agree if the player is an enemy of The Holy Nation, or has slain the Bugmaster or Holy Lord Phoenix. Additionally, he will claim that the player has already earned their camaraderie if they have more than 50 relations with the Shek. You cannot be 50 or more with the following factions in order to ally with the Shek: Holy Nation, Slave Traders, Trader's Guild, or United Cities
He can be given the Bugmaster, Phoenix, High Inquisitor Seta and High Inquisitor Valtena for their bounties and relations with the Shek.
Bayan's only world-state is when he is killed or kidnapped by the player. This will cause a large assault on the player with Esata the Stone Golem herself at the lead and a few of The Five Invincibles in tow along with a large number of Hundred Guardians.

Trivia
- While technically non-canon, the lead writer for Kenshi, Natalie, wrote a short story about Bayan.
Tips
- If your goal is to eliminate (or simply defeat) Esata and her Invincibles, be sure to focus on downing Bayan first. His high level of Strength and Martial Arts should not be taken lightly. Thankfully he has a pitiful level of Toughness.
