Who's Who?

Kaczmarek: Head of the Ukrainian Mafia in Newark directly before Petrov Kryzhanovsky and probably murdered by his successor.

Kai: Enigmatic member of the San Francisco Yakuza based at the Lucky Dragon Casino. He met with Jane Munroe on the evening of 17 December 2000 to discuss how to stop Mao Sei Ben. However, Kai was so cryptic that Jane came away from the interview believing she had learned nothing.

Kant, Jenson: Member of the Department of Agriculture who secretly works on Project Yuri with Michael Levin. Kant was a very experienced agent who was working to take down a brain bug cell on the east coast when the team was infected. The team later returned to base. Kant was able to get through decon without being revealed as a carrier because he has a metal pin in his leg that makes an MRI scan impossible. In a version of 20 June 2001, that was subsequently rewritten by Samael, Kant was among those who kidnapped Danni Munroe and murdered Todd O'Connell. It was believed that this was an attempt to get at Michael Levin through his girlfriend. Even though those events never happened, Kant remained at large and could compromise a large amount of the DoA's operations. However, he was killed by Monty on 21 June when he and other possessed agents went after Danni again.

Kariskoff, Mikhail (General): Ukrainian general mistaken for Apache Joe by Jane Munroe in September 2000 and pursued through the streets of Sydney. The subsequent international incident was covered up by the American government.

Kass, Kara: According to Agent Hudson, Kass is potentially the thirty-seventh victim of Apache Joe and will be killed in Val Verde, Texas on 5 April 2001 unless the agents prevent it.

Keith (Police Officer): Member of the Pasadena police force sent to help the mid-west evidence response team in their search of warehouses in the dock area on 12 October 2000. Entered the Coffee 4 Texas warehouse with Special Agent Jane Munroe and was subsequently gunned down by members of Jesus Martinez's drugs gang.

Keffer, Hal (Detective): Detective in charge of the Fairbanks missing persons case in New York. He is an old and severe, but fit and healthy (probably from continually climbing all the stairs to his fifth floor office). Keffer was not comfortable with the FBI and would only offer help up to the letter of the law and no more. He discouraged the agents from Helen Carter in their meeting of 13 May 2001.

Keftan: An alien race. The brain bug controlled vessel boarded by evidence response on 11 June 2006 had some Keftan technology.

Keller (Private First Class): With Private James collected 400 USAF uniforms from Ho Fung's Chinese Laundry in Wichita, Kansas on 3 August 2000 and took them back to MacConnell Airforce base. En route he stopped at a diner run by Juicy Lucy.

Keller, Greg: Professional lounge lizard who acted as Danielle Munroe's 'manager' while she was singing in the bars and clubs of New York city. The pair became engaged in the autumn of 1998 and married on 17 August 1999, despite the objections of Dani's sister, Jane. Keller is a petty criminal with possible links to organised crime. It did not take long for the marriage to get into difficulty. In September 2000 Danielle had a one night stand with Todd O'Connell and became pregnant. When Greg found out in November he beat the identity of the father out of Dani and went after him. He was apprehended by police in Flagstaff, Arizona on 17 January 2001 and admitted to his plan to castrate Todd. He was subsequently sectioned and locked up. Divorce proceedings are currently under way.

Kelson (Special Agent): FBI agent and member of internal affairs. With Agent Rolson he interviewed Jane Munroe on one version of 4 June 2001 following the explosion at Wichita airport.

Kelly (Senator): Iowa senator who approaches Artemis Black on the evening of 16 December 2000 and offered him a place as his running mate in the 2005 presidential elections.

Kelly, Barry: Head of the copperworker's union in Casper, Wyoming and husband of Doris Kelley. He called his men out on strike after the accident that killed fifteen miners on 22 October 2000. Kelly did not support charges of corruption levelled against the mining authority, to him the strike was for better hazard pay. Interviewed by the mid-west evidence response team on 6 December 2000. See case CS1473-IND.

Kelley, Doris: Sister of Leroy Bryce and wife of Barry Kelley. Doris did not like her brother much, and tried to avoid him. She took possession of his belongings after his death, and aided evidence response's investigations on 11 December 2000. See case CS1473-IND.

Khedive: Name given to the military ruler of Cairo before the British took over at the end of the nineteenth century. See Mushah Al-Rhabin.

Kilrathy, Alison: Daughter of Philip and Maeve McKraken who died when she was eight years old.

Kilrathy, James: Philip McKraken's maternal uncle with a mysterious government job. Very close to Philip, he used to read the boy pages from suspicious tomes during his youth. This closeness was one of the things that led to a feud between James and Donald McKrake - that and the fact that Donald was beating James's sister, Catherine. Together with "Uncle Conrad" James suggested that Philip join the FBI's evidence response unit.

Kilrathy, John: Maternal uncle of Philip McKraken. Married to Sue.

Kilrathy, Maeve (née Armstrong): Philip McKraken's maternal grandmother.

Kilrathy, Philip: Philip McKraken's maternal grandfather.

Kilrathy, Sue: Maternal aunt to Philip McKraken by marriage. Married to John Kilrathy.

Kipling, Joseph (Major): Surgeon based at the Texas Ranger base where Albert Johnson was accidentally killed in 1991. Kipling autopsied Johnson's body and determined he was dead, odd considered Johnson went on to have ten scalp-happy years as Apache Joe.

Kithgoe (Special Agent): FBI agent based on Hawaii. Accompanied Elijah Stone to Island Kahoolawe to deal with squatters on 15 November 2000.

Kitty, Giles (Special Agent): Ninth victim of the latest Joker killings. He was murdered on 18 October 2000 at the FBI headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was cut in half and ritually mutilated while locked in the armoury. The corresponding playing card, sent to the mid-west evidence response team was the 3 of Hearts, the bottom half of which was cut to pieces. The card was found with 5 of Spades (Sam Snift's death) and 2 of Spades (Nathan Harlow's death) and 4 of Hearts (Giles Kitty's death).

Kotoflaxomoitia (Queen): Mummy of an ancient Egyptian queen held at the museum on Kodiak Island. Kotoflaxomoitia came to life and almost wiped out the North-West team. She was destroyed by Dirk Brunswick.

Kowalski, Hugh: Employee of Mayfords Electronics who worked on retainer for Ho Fung's Traditional Chinese Laundry. He worked nights, keeping the machines in order but in actual fact he had to do much of the work the lazy Luke Miner couldn't be bothered to do.

Kray, Prentice: An oil-baron who lived a Howard Hughes-esque existence at a fortified house in the Fort Worth area before his death in 1996. Kray donated the money for Prentice Hall, that was built at Dallas University in the 1960s.

K'tai: An alien race also known as the doppelgangers. They hid from the Shaggai when the bugs first came to their world. Eventually they were discovered and, even though they are immune to brain-bug possession, forced to flee. Members of this race first crash landed on Earth more than 5000 years on the Signai ship that was fleeing the Shaggai. The K'tai are shapechangers and use their advanced understanding of biology to produce many devices that augment this ability - such as the infamous doppelganger battlesuit. The east coast evidence response team has had several run-ins with the doppelgangers. This led to the creation of the "doppelganger-protocols" where agents need to provide a blood sample once per month to prove they are who they say they are.

Kryzhanovsky, Petrov: Head of the Ukrainian Mafia in Newark. Kryzhanovsky took over the running of the group in May 2000, and was responsible for them pushing into Newark and starting the turf war with the Polish mafia. He is almost certainly brain bug possessed and probably the source of brain bugs that possessed the rest of the inner circle. Kryzhanovsky is currently being monitored by the Department of Agriculture. See cases NW988 and 0017-GCF.
