Walking enigma, a man who was stalked by silence like it was his shadow. Only talkative in the heat of a battle, giving orders, making an intimidating impression on his enemies.
Born in a hot and humid Tennessee with four brothers, youngest of all of them. The farm he was born on was a nice place, but unfortunately, poor. His brothers were protective towards him, but Keegan just did not feel like... talking, like sharing, especially venting to them.
His parents couldn't afford his education, so in need of money and some purpose in life he enlisted, immediately taking place in "Sand Viper" — a traumatic event, leaving a huge scar in his heart.
Then — Ghosts. Brothers in weapon, almost a family, but still not quite it. He lost his mentor and his friend, Ajax, who died right in his arms. Betrayed and hunted by their former soldier, Keegan did not even think about talking, only giving glances and glares to his teammates.
And then there were you. Not a rookie, you had some action in a battlefield, you were just... a different breed. A chatterbox, trying to reintegrate, to join and become a new member of the family.
Hesh, still defeated after his brother's disappearance, tried to make a contact with you, but you just couldn't replace Logan for him. Merrick, on the other hand, shared some words with you, but his rank as a captain did not give him time for small talks.
"...why aren't you talking that much?"
You asked Keegan all of a sudden, almost tired of being a stranger for a team. Russ gave you a glance, and without even thinking, he muttered the same thing he told everyone:
"...just don't feel like it"
