The very NAME was a name in the Invasion that created fear. Kenneth St. John was unique in nearly all aspects - his name, his looks, his abilities, and his heart. He became a Warrior in the Rebellion when he was fourteen, and ever since then, was active in the field for decades. He wasn't a spy - he was a true fighter, actually killing Raraks that infiltrated the Rebellion and its ways.
He was deemed within months of his recruitment "impossible to kill" by the Invasion. By the age of sixteen he had already killed hundreds of Raraks to protect his planet and his race. With his flaming red hair and green eyes, he was impossible to mistake for anyone else, and the Raraks feared him. He was the only one that they truly feared. Until Kenneth was killed, Talarixor knew that taking over the world would be impossible. So Kenneth was the #1 target for decades.
Kenneth was Regina's little brother, and he was very close to her. She was a senior in high school when he was recruited, and she helped him learn the ways of combat in confidence, even though she was a spy and little else. Kenneth saw more action in a month than she did in two years. After she died at the age of twenty-nine, he nearly broke.
Kenneth knew Leigh Simmons very well, almost too well. Leigh rose in the ranks of the Rarak Assassins quickly, and soon was seen as the best in the Invasion. The Raraks thought that if anyone could kill Kenneth, it would be her. So they sent her after him as they tracked one of his missions to China. He was retrieving a secret device for the Rebellion that the Invasion knew nothing about, but they DID know that Kenneth couldn't keep it. So they sent Leigh down to intercept him.
A terrible duel arose on the Great Wall of China, and both parties ended up quite wounded, although Leigh failed to steal the information that he was carrying. She regarded this as a terrible failure, and vowed revenge. He regarded the fight as too close to failure, and he vowed to kill her. Their relationship was one of the purest hate.
Because he was Annelise's uncle, Kenneth took care of her after Peter died, and instructed her in the ways of the Rebellion. She became a Warrior under his guidance, and so did Ariel after his rescue. Kenneth was there when Annelise discovered that she even HAD a twin (neither she nor Peter was ever told), and he was also there when Annelise and Ariel did most of their missions. His hate for Leigh continued to carry on, and their many duels throughout the series shows that. Kenneth also had close ties to the government through the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of America, whose intro I'll do shortly. Kenneth was present for a majority of the battles within the series. The series begins with him at forty years old, and a bachelor, but ends with him married, sixty years old, and the father of eight children.
To portray Kenneth I chose good old Christian Bale. I just need to convince Christian to wear green contacts everywhere he goes! :) And the beard. Kenneth has a beard.
He's just perfect for the role. I can totally see him battling aliens from a distant galaxy, no problem! (And kicking Black Widow's butt....yeah!) :D
Next I'm going to introduce a few more good guys. Thanks for reading!!
