Biography
Kevin has an apartment in Turnip Hill where he kept his notes on SMV, as well as glass container full of blue mushrooms. Presumably he fled to Turnip Hill with his family including his daughter Elo to escape some group pursuing them.
He wrote the book "The Legend of the Stalburg Underground". A set of notes in his apartment reveals how he seemed to be attempting to find out what his father, Andrew, was doing. His father was infamous for creating "The Machine". During these studies, Kevin managed to gather a lot of information about SMV that was previously discovered by a woman attempting to help Kevin's family reach the Underground City.
In Turnip Hill, Kevin's body can be located after finding the passcode to his apartment, located in the elevator hideout. Disturbingly, despite being unresponsive, he's still alive in a late-stage of SMV infection, and can only slightly squirm. His head and face are covered in green mushrooms, and his natural dark skin has become discolored.
There's a thick layer of dirt in the room he is in, on which green shrooms have started growing, as well as several barrels of "liquid gypsum" (a soil cleanser). Those barrels might be an indicator that Kevin's conversion into a vegetative SMV state was intentional.
Trivia
- Interestingly, Kevin shares several similar traits with Mörkö, mainly bloody tear stains running down his face, as well as oddly shaped fingers (Although the latter cannot be seen without noclipping into the room his body is in.) Kevin's model is also referred to as "morko_003" in the game files.
- A note in Elo's hideout underneath the Castle Rock Bridge says Kevin visited Stalburg Steel at some point.
