Evan Kell was the commanding officer of the Kell Hounds from 3122 until his death in 3142.[2]

History[edit]

Early Years[edit]

Evan Kell was one of the twin sons of Caitlin Kell, commander of the Kell Hounds mercenary unit and Grand Duchess of Arc-Royal. It was decided to split the inheritance of the two boys with Evan being groomed to command the Kell Hounds and Martin to eventually take on the role of ruling their home planet.[2]

Kell Hounds Commander[edit]

He commanded the Kell Hounds after Maria Allard was killed in combat on Dustball in 3122.[3]

After Clan Wolf turned against the Commonwealth, in 3140, he suggested the new Archon Vedet Brewer to reinforce the frontier with Jade Falcon, but Brewer ignoring it, which proved to be a fatal mistake when the Golden Ordun invaded the lyran space.[4]

Death[edit]

Evan would remain command of the Hounds until his death in the Falcon's WarShip Red Talon's orbital bombardment during the Battle of Timkovichi, the 15 August 3142. Then he died along with the entire command staff and almost all the Hounds. The few surviving elements of the Hounds were later commanded by Kell's niece, Callandre Kell, which resurrected the almost destroyed unit.[3][1]

Notes[edit]

  • Evan never married, though he enjoyed a well-earned reputation of libertine with both sexes. At the time of his death, he was object of seven paternity suits, but not any was confirmed.[3]
