===Appearance===

===Personality===

Originally, Kalin started as a cheerful and good person, who looked out for his teammates and gave hope to them. But after his team conquered the entire city of Satellite, Kalin became obsessed with protecting what they worked so hard to obtain, and grew paranoid into believing that any [[Duel Gang]]s not under his control were a threat to the order they had brought. This caused him to begin Dueling people recklessly including kids, which harmed them in the process, and which eventually lead him to challenge the city's security, which caused his downfall. Kalin was captured by them and sent to prison to die and blamed Yusei for his betrayal and capture.

===History===

[[File:Team Satisfaction Kiryu.jpg|thumb|left|Kalin as leader of [[the Enforcers]].]]

The team managed to conquer all the team areas in the Satellite by beating the other [[Duel Gang]]s. During the face-off with the final gang, one of them almost killed Yusei by pushing him off the roof, but Kalin saved him.

He was present along with the rest of the Dark Signers when they all confronted the [[Signers]] right after Yusei's and Roman's first Duel concluded. He tried to degrade Yusei by calling him weak, however Yusei's opposite reaction to that comment surprised him.

As Kalin said to Yusei that by accepting his fate, he could return to show Yusei the fear that he had felt at the time. Intending to do this through his "Earthbound Immortal" card, he then Summoned "Ccapac Apu" once again, and tried to finally defeat Yusei with it. However, as Yusei managed to fend off the Immortal's assault, the Immortal itself began to trash the ground where the Duel was taking place. As Kalin began to have some difficulties with this, Yusei extended his hand to offer his help, which symbolized the occasion where Kalin risked his life to save Yusei. However, Kalin rejected it, and stated that it was too late and that it was completely pointless. After this, Yusei Summoned "[[Majestic Star Dragon (anime)|Majestic Star Dragon]]", and it ultimately took down "Ccapac Apu".

===Crash Town===

Following the events of the Dark Signers, Kalin resided in a town that was ruled by Dueling. His appearance had gradually changed over the course of time; his hair was much longer than before and he wore a trench coat. He also carried around a harmonica around his neck (which he often played) and his personality showed no emotion; when he did show any emotion, it was of sadness, concern, or pity. He followed the gang leader [[Radley]], and a [[Radley Bunch|bunch]] of Duelists that dominated part of [[Crash Town]]. [[Barbara]] told Yusei that Kalin had come to this town to die. Kalin said that he had forgotten the meaning of words such as satisfaction. He Dueled [[The Giant|one of the members]] of [[Malcolm Crew|another gang]] led by [[Malcolm]] and ultimately won against his opponent. After the Duel, Yusei tried to talk to him, but he gave no reply as he rode off with Radley's gang.

In episode 150, he was cheering on Yusei. Two episodes later, Kalin reappeared and was seen being defeated by Jack in Satisfaction Town as Jack was self-training himself to once again regain his crown as the King of Turbo Duels. Kalin told Jack that he had become a lot stronger since the days of the Enforcers but he was still not satisfied, with Jack agreeing.
