Biography

He was subjected to ridicule and hatred as a child. He is Waruu’s half-brother, who owns a pub named ‘The Couch’ with friends Blair and Ash. He keeps his business afloat by giving up Hairypeople to the CA for rewards by tricking them with a false safe house setup. His actions inadvertently lead to the death of Jyra, causing doubt within himself.

Koen then becomes the titular, yet initially reluctant Cleverman, after the passing of his uncle, who was the previous Cleverman. Koen gains abilities such as healing, the left eye of the Cleverman, the ability to see visions when touching others or from the dreaming, along with the war club ‘The Nulla Nulla’. He has a toxic relationship with his half brother Waruu, as they share the same father, but different mothers, with Koen’s being labeled the ‘white whore’ due to an affair between their father and his mother. He was abused by Waruu for most of his childhood ’til he ran away from the Zone and was found by Blair, where they become friends. He has a secret affair with Blair’s girlfriend, Ash, which causes a rift in their friendship later, when McIntyre kills her trying to capture Kora and Koen. Over the course of the series he begins to gradually accept his role as Cleverman, finding redemption in his previous actions – even fighting Waruu to prove his worth during a fist fight when Waruu could not accept him as the Cleverman. At the end of season 1 Koen returns to the Zone, whereafter Waruu unsuccessfully tries to kill the spirit ‘namorrodor’. Koen defeats it with the Nulla Nulla and beings to lead the Hairypeople against the advancing CA.
