Kent is the black sheep of the Capp family—far more enamoured of learning than of accumulating wealth or fighting with the Montys. Will he pursue his friendship with Bianca Monty despite his family's misgivings about it?
Kent Capp lives with one of his sisters, Regan Capp and his brother-in-law Cornwall Capp. He also has two other siblings, Goneril Capp and Cordelia Capp (who is dead). He is considered the "black sheep" of the family, according to his biography, and loves knowledge more than the fortune. He is also friends with Bianca Monty against his family's wishes. He appears in the Sim Bin along with Regan and Cornwall. He is friends with Juliette Capp (his niece) and Titania Summerdream. He is enemies with Patrizio Monty and Isabella Monty. Despite the Maxis storyline pointing toward Kent becoming involved with Bianca Monty, the personal status feature of InSimenator reveals the he starts the game with a slight preference for males; 0.1 for males and 0.0 for females. Titania has a crush on him but the feeling isn't mutual. Kent has quite high cooking, logic and cleaning skills when you first play the family. If he joins the Science career by using computer, he will most likely start as an inventor, which is sixth job level of Science. If he does join that career, he has enough skills to be promoted to level 8.
The Earl of Kent was a character in Shakespeare's King Lear. He was one of the only people to see through Goneril and Regan's false affection toward their father.
