Kenneth Becker (Hell's Scars)

== Kenneth Becker ==
Kenneth Becker (also known as Kenny) is a main character and a major antagonist in the "Hell's Scars" series.
Serving as the tertiary antagonist in the series, Kenneth is a meth cook and former firefighter, and the nephew of Evan Rogers. He worked with his uncle and operated in his paramilitary gang as their enforcer.
== Background ==
Born on April 2, 2008, in Dallas, Texas, Kenneth's past is unknown, but it's hinted that he was abused by his mother, who was a drug addict, and her various boyfriends, resulting in him being saved by one of Evan's associates, who he saw as a father figure. He later became an enforcer and close ally to his uncle's gang.
At one point, he became a firefighter and secretly a burglar. It was hinted that he had been arrested for his crimes before Evan bailed him out. 
== Biography ==
Kenneth is first seen when he assists Evan's men during a drug deal with the Cartel. Kenneth showed great interest in the deal, trying to make Evan see the potential in him. Evan explained to Kenneth how the deal would go down, but emphasized that nobody should ever know that the deal was ever happening. The heist went as planned until Gustavo betrayed them and wanted to take over their operations out of greed, which forced Kenneth to shoot Gustavo, resulting in a violent shootout. After they secured the meth and money, one of the surviving Cartel soldiers (a 19-year-old recruit) tries to run away. Without hesitation, Kenneth drew his pistol and shot the boy dead. Proud that he proved his worth and ruthlessness, Evan allowed Kenneth to stay with the group and gave him a promotion but warned him not to get trigger-happy into a job unless he knows about it or when things go down. 
As his uncle Evan set up a deal with Leon Chavez and the Cartel at the mansion, Kenneth participated in killing the Cartel soldiers and even executed Leon personally, showing extreme glee and pleasure. However, when Markus chooses not to listen to Evan and plans to expose Evan's crimes, Kenneth and his men are sent in to kill Markus but are knocked out after their brief fight. While he survived the first attack by luck when Markus shot him (it's later revealed that he wore a vest), Kenneth was imprisoned during the last attack when a Reaper drone controlled by Markus destroys the compound, failing to kill Kenneth as he tries to escape with an armored car, which he survived by luck again and attacks Markus in a brutal fight before Markus brutally beats him down to take down Evan.
== Personality ==
Despite his soft-spoken nature and child-like fascination with the criminal underworld, Kenneth has proven himself to be a more than capable, skilled, and dangerous criminal, and will normally act on instinct when he feels that the secrecy of his occupation is in jeopardy. Kenneth's primary motivation seems to be gratification from his employers, rather than greed or morality, and he will go to great lengths to please them. His relationship with his employers is always one of respect and loyalty and he will execute any command unflinchingly and without remorse. He also seems to realize that reward is just as good a motivation as fear as he gives one of his men ice cream and praise for telling Evan about Markus' escape.
Kenneth is shown to be a completely remorseless, cold-blooded murderer who will kill anyone he is ordered to or is a threat to him or his employers as seen by his murder of Leon and notably a young boy recruited with the Cartel, and shows no remorse over the deed and later on, even shows glee over it. He even keeps a trophy of the ordeal in the form of the dead boy's heart, a way of showing that he takes pride in the murders he commits. He later murders an Arabic tourist on the orders of his uncle and even allows his men to beat a prisoner just for pleasure, showing that he is also sadistic. He is shown to be manipulative in a way, being able to unsuccessfully try to break Markus completely whilst trying to kill him and trying to convince him to relax before trying to shoot him, displaying patience and calmness even when in a life-threatening situation.
Kenneth is shown to often lack social cues. Based on certain aspects of his personality, it's safe to say that Kenneth is a sociopath, possibly bordering on psychopathy. Yet, strangely enough, Kenneth usually appears to mean well, offering condolences to his uncle for the deaths of his fallen loyalists, and even was very reluctant when Evan orders him to kill Markus and Melanie (whom he saw as a sister figure) before trying to kill them brutally. Nonetheless, Kenneth is willing to do whatever it takes to secure his criminal enterprise and please his uncle Evan and the gang at all costs, even if it includes senseless murder.
However, his remorselessness and loyalty led Kenneth to his downfall and eventual imprisonment, and he is forever known as a ruthless, sadistic, and child-like murderer that lost in a brutal fight at the hands of the man whom he failed to kill.
== Appearance ==
Kenneth is an American man, standing at 5'5. He has a slender build, dark brown eyes, short dark brown hair, and notably, a clean-shaven to a light stubble-like look. According to his group, Kenneth has a childlike look to his appearance and is described by most female members to be extremely handsome, making him appear harmless in contrast to his ruthlessness and brutality and making his jobs easier since his politeness and lack of tattoos catch his opponents off-guard.
He wore flannel shirts, blue jeans, and running shoes in most appearances. In his last stand, Kenneth wore a gray bulletproof vest and USMC MARPAT pants and boots. He also sported unkempt stubble.
