== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Some time in the past, Kevin was a bit of a gambler. He had accumulated some during this time, which later came in handy for bribing Horace Jones during an to Nimbus III.
Kevin had learned how to scatter biosigns with a from friends who had defected to the Maquis. During his time at Starfleet Academy, he considered defecting as well when the girl he had feelings for joined them. His desire to not disappoint his parents prevented him, however.
=== Service on the USS Leviathan ===
At some point, Kevin joined the crew of the .
On , he was part of a security team sent to clear from a Klingon boarding party. The team successfully drove away the invaders, but the ship's , Mercedes McMary, was killed in the process. Kevin told Vance L'eher afterward that they needed to press on and help other areas of the ship that were still dealing with Klingons.
On , he volunteered to join an away mission to the , a civilian freighter that was in distress. He did not shy away from fighting the numerous Orion pirates that had boarded the freighter, even going so far as to punch one of them. He later helped Julia Cromwell escort the Azura survivors to .
On , Kevin joined another , this time as a security escort for Sokketh to the monastery on P'Jem. Once there, the ambassador revealed himself to actually be an Undine impostor, and Kevin and the rest of the away team had to fight for their lives. After the Undine fled, Kevin and his superiors, Jason Fredricks and Tala Jones, had to face off with a group of Klingon officers. Though they captured one of the Klingons, they treated him with hospitality, and Kevin escorted him to guest quarters.
Kevin joined an away mission to Kassae IV on , once again serving as a security detail. He did not see much action on this particular mission, but was nearly crushed by a crate thrown by a Gorn captain. The Gorn transported away before Kevin and the rest of the away team could attack him. Kevin was quite disturbed by a Vulcan corpse that had been mutilated by the Gorn.
Later in 2409, he and Walt Bozeman accompanied Th'vol Olethla and Hannah Freeman to Drozana Station's maintenance levels, where they served as a simple security escort. When Dylyp Azeli, Lucas Wells, Elisa Flores, and Th'vol went through a Devidian portal to rescue Jason Fredricks and Tala Jones, he, Hannah, Bozeman, and Kardok stayed behind to wait for their return.
When the others did not return immediately (he thought they would since they had traveled through time), he began to grow restless. Kardok tried to assure him that they knew very little about how the portal worked, and they had no way to determine when exactly their people would return. Kardok became annoyed when Kevin and the others did not sit patiently, but Kevin believed sitting quietly was foolish and continued by saying, "I thought you Klingons were warriors, not Vulcans." Both Kardok and Hannah heard something at the same time, and they rose to their feet, alarmed. Kevin asked what they heard, but Kardok simply said, "They've arrived."
