Kwastantinos Selemoni, the Abētōhun, (born 10 May 1989) is the heir apparent of the Kembesan throne. The eldest child of Selemon XIV Yegidoni, the Seyoume Igziabeher or "King" of Kembesa, Kwastantinos is expected to succeed his father as ruler of the country. Upon ascending to the throne, his regnal name will be Kwastantinos III Yegidoni. As the official heir apparent, Kwastantinos is referred to by the title "Abētōhun" or "Abetohun" meaning "Great Prince" but commonly translated as "Crown Prince". Kwastantinos's two younger brothers are referred to by the title "Abētō".

Kwastantinos was born in Hagērī Palace, the traditional home of Kembesa's royalty since the 14th century. His upbringing was conventional by the standards of Kembesan nobility. Following in the footsteps of his father, Kwastantinos attended the Junior Military College of Saint Joriji. He received a commission in the T’ori'seyoum, serving as an infantry officer, eventually attaining the rank of Knight Lieutenant Colonel at 31 years old.

In contrast to the traditional role of the Abētōhun, Kwastantinos has maintained his distance from politics and the court. He also remains unmarried and without an heir of his own. In public, Kwastantinos has a reputation as an avid hunter but is socially reclusive.
