After he completed the  with Kara and Degar, and changed his name, he cut his shoulder-length black hair down and had his clan's mark tattooed on his right shoulder, just above his Black Riders tattoo. Though he was raised by a gang of violent criminal, Ayjae was a kind child; caring about the people around him albeit he wouldn't hesitate to fight anyone who teased him for being a "soft little wuss," as his younger 'sister' Zula put it.

After Nistu's capture, the old got a room at a nearby cantina owned a 'old friend' of Kyram's. After Dedric and Nilim went to bed, Kyram hired Ruusaan to the "lady on my arm" at gathering of high-ranking officers, senators, aristocrats, and other nobility.

The next morning Kyram went to Ruusaan's room to find her gone already, he went ahead to meet his employer, a senator named. After the meeting and being instructed on what to do, Ruusaan contacted him only saying, "I'll meet you at the penthouse." When she finally arrived, Kyram was stunned by her beauty.

Behind the scenes
Statement Aaron Bryant made while Ayjae Bindo/Kyram Beviin was in development: "Originally I couldn't make up my mind for a name so I went on Xbox Live and asked a friend for help, he suggested Kyram Beviin due to my nature, then a few weeks later I thought of KotOR's Jolee Bindo and Ayjae Bindo was born. Also the name Ayjae originally came from the my nickname A.J.."
