Ken (also known as Kenneth) is a character from the Smurfs franchise, he appears in the Smurfs movie of 2025, he is one of Papa Smurf's brothers.
Appearance[]
Ken is the spitting image of Papa smurf, but with one key difference; he has red (orange) hair instead of white hair. He wears a red hat and pants/shoes, and unlike Papa, has a tattoo on left arm.
Personality[]
Ken is rather serious about things such as, his job of traveling through dimensions, his duty of protecting everybody, and remembering why he has conflict with others. He is also quite the quick-witted smooth talker when it comes to making deals, but with this he also good at insults (luckily there's a Smurf who isn't willing to take it, Smurfette). Ken is also much more gruff than his brothers (Papa & Ron Smurf), but has a (somewhat) sweet spot for them, due to their history.
History[]
Due to their inconspicuous appearance, it's extremely unclear how old Ken and his brothers are, which means we don't know where their story begins for them. However, we do know live a long time, and because of that we know the the conflict of the the 2025 movie started over roughly 100 years ago when Papa Smurf decided to create and "hide out" in Smurf Village, which was made after a very tragic final mission the three brothers and Razamel.
What happened was that Papa, Ken and Ron were going up against Razamel (Gargamel's even more evil brother) in an epic fight for one of the (centaint) universal books. Somewhere during the fight, Razamel escaped and let behind a deadly portal while the Smurf brothers and the book hanging off a cliff. They all almost made it up, but the portal was too powerful, and so Ron had to sacrifice himself due to his long blonde hair in order for Papa Smurf and Ken to fend him off of the book. After the battle Papa and Ken went their separate ways, with Papa taking the book into hiding with him, but ready to contact Ken if something were to go wrong.
