**Josephine Kilgannon** was the eldest daughter of Cambria and Coheed Kilgannon. She lived as an ordinary human (which she believed she was), but was actually an IRO-bot made by Dr. Leonard Hohenberger on Apity Prime. Due to her blood cultivating a cure to the Monstar Virus, she was placed with Coheed and Cambria who believed her to be their biological daughter and raised her as such.

## History

### Early Life

Kilgannon was constructed by Dr. Leonard Hohenberger after he had successfully synthesized and inserted the two parts of the Monstar Virus into Beast and Knowledge. His original intention was to cultivate a cure for the virus in her. Whereas he used accelerants to speed up the physical and mental growth of his previous creations, Hohenberger refrained from doing so with Kilgannon to make sure the cure had the necessary time to develop. She was put into Inferno's custody upon the doctor's death.

Knowing that she would have to be kept safe, and needing to hide Beast and Knowledge anyway, Inferno implanted memories in the two older IRO-bots and left Kilgannon with them—making them believe that she was their biological child.

### Unexpected Death

Kilgannon lived a relatively normal and uneventful life until she was about 21 years of age. She was proposed to by Patrick McCormick, her long-time boyfriend. The two went to Jersey City to celebrate, and on their way home, they stopped outside an abandoned warehouse to make out—something they used to do all the time. Unfortunately, The Jersey City Devils, a local outlaw motorcycle gang, found them and decided to rob them, bashing in the windows of McCormick's car, beating him up and raping Kilgannon. McCormick takes her home and waits for her outside to make sure she was okay. When she took much longer than he expected, he entered the home through the unlocked front door and witnessed Kilgannon's father, Coheed, bring a hammer down on her head at that exact moment in a fatal blow. He fled in horror.

Later, the eldest of Kilgannon's younger brothers, Claudio, arrived home (his parents having already been taken away) to a dark and silent house. Not wanting to attract more attention than necessary since he thinks he'll be punish for arriving late, he went around the back of house. The back door had been blown off its hinges, so he rushed to turn on the light, but found it didn't work. He attempted to enter the kitchen, but slipped on Kilgannon's blood. Finally making her out in the dark, he cradled her body, crying out for her to wake up. Surprisingly, she reanimates at his touch and tells him what happened at the warehouse. She suddenly becomes less animated and weakly tells him to run, before losing consciousness again.

It is unknown what ultimately happened to Kilgannon's body. It has also been theorized that her soul joined the Keywork as an Entity.

## Relationships

### Family

Kilgannon had a very good relationship with her family. They fought like all families do, but overall her parents were very supportive and she felt safe coming to them in times of need or stress. As the oldest, she had a responsibility to her younger siblings and due to the age gap, was closer to Claudio than her twin siblings, but loved them all the same.

### Patrick McCormick

**McCormick** was Kilgannon's long-time boyfriend and briefly, her fiancé. Though the couple was assaulted together, some part of Kilgannon did blame McCormick for her personal assault. She still loved him and didn't actually want to leave him; they probably would've been married if she hadn't died. Upon seeing her murdered, McCormick fled the scene and made his way to a bar that knew him. While hiding out there he was tracked down by an Onstantine Priest and ultimately killed.
