Kim Kasim is a character in Xenogears. A brilliant doctor and nanomachine scientist from Zeboim, he is the first known reincarnation of the Contact and a preincarnation of Fei.

Appearance and Personality
Being a previous incarnation of Fei, he has an identical appearance to him, with long black hair and brown eyes. In contrast to other incarnations of Fei, Kim is typically seen wearing either a business suit or a lab coat.

Kim was a significantly intelligent man and a revolutionary in the field of nanotechnology. Kim was greatly distressed by the violence happening during his era, as well as the degradation of humanity that resulted in increased genetic damage and infertility. This inspired him to create Emeralda.

Story arc
Kim was a previous incarnation of Fei that existed during the Zeboim era. He entered the Federal Medical School at the age of 16 and entered the Biological Sciences Department 3 years afterwards where he focused on molecular machine research. He eventually graduated and received his doctorate. He proposed to create an artificial lifeform constructed of nanomachines. The academic community viewed this as a blasphemy against God, and Kim was expelled. He returned to the Medical Department and instead worked as a doctor.

2 years later Kim met Elly, who was working at the hospital. Miang eventually came across Kim's thesis and concealed it. He was able to use funds he had earned as a doctor, as well as funds provided from Miang and worked in a facility she had provided. Kim's thesis was also accessed by the anti government group Ravine, who also contacted him, but he rejected their offer. Emeralda would be created that year on Thanksgiving Day. The next year, realizing Miang's true nature, Kim moved Emeralda to a separate facility prepared by Ravine. A military raid sent by Miang occurred and this resulted in Elly's death. Kim sealed away the facility and Emeralda and it wouldn't be opened until the party accessed it in the Ethos Dig Site approximately 4,000 years later.
