**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, 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 has been arrested for his crimes before Evan bailed him out.

## Biography

Kenneth is first seen when he assisted Evan's men during a train heist for methylamine to produce their own meth for the Cartel. Kenneth showed great interest in the plan, trying to make Evan see the potential in him. Evan explained to Kenneth how the heist would go down, but emphasized that nobody should ever know that the train was ever robbed. The heist went as planned until a good Samaritan offered to move the truck that was blocking the train, which forced Kenneth to jump from the top of a moving train. After the three secured the methylamine, their celebration was witnessed by a young boy. Without hesitation, Kenneth drew his pistol and shot the boy dead and after the heist, he participated in disposing of the boy's corpse and motorcycle. He then attempted to explain himself to the group, saying that the only reason he shot the kid was to protect their heist. He appeared unfazed by his action, sticking to the belief that killing the boy had to be done because he was a witness. Reluctantly, Evan allowed Kenneth to stay with the group but warned him not to bring a gun to a job unless he knows about it.

As his uncle Evan set up a deal with Gustavo Chavez and the Cartel, Kenneth participated in killing the Cartel soldiers and watched Evan execute Gustavo, showing some excitement. However, when Markus chose not to listen to Evan, Kenneth and his men were sent in to kill Markus but were 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 killed during the last attack when a Reaper drone controlled by Markus destroys the compound, blowing up Kenneth as he tries to escape with an armored car.

## 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 will go to great lengths to please them. His relationship with his employers is always one of respect and loyalty and 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 his prisoner and notably a young boy, 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 mouse, in a way 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 a skilled psychological tormentor, being able to break Markus almost 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 shows some reluctance when Evan orders him to kill Markus and Melanie (who he saw as a sister figure). 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 died as a ruthless, sadistic, and child-like murderer in a fiery explosion at the hands of the man who he failed to kill.

## Appearance

Kenneth is an American man, standing at 5'6. He has a slender build, blue eyes, short dark brown hair, and notably, a clean-shaven look. According to his group, Kenneth has a childlike look to his appearance, making him appear harmless in contrast to his ruthlessness and brutality.

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.
