Keane

Keane was an ex-special forces operative and the head of security at Merrick Pharmaceuticals under Steven Merrick. He is portrayed by Joey Ansah in The Old Guard.

Appearance
Keane has medium skin with a short fade and long stubble. He has an athletic build from his training and is always on alert, carrying a concealed weapon even when in civilian clothes.

Personality
As the head of Merrick's security, Keane has a significant number of trained men under his command and is always seen by Merrick's side, which is a testament to his abilities.

Plot
Keane is first seen in a car traveling alongside Merrick, James Copley, and Dr. Meta Kozak as Copley presents his evidence of the Old Guard's immortality. Merrick isn't satisfied, however, and tasks Copley with bringing in the immortals with the help of Keane.

The immortals are ambushed in their safehouse outside of France. While Nicky and Joe are captured, Booker is left as he's presumed dead. Booker and Nile wait for Andy's signal, and the latter cuts through Keane's men easily, prompting Copley to suggest they make a hasty exit.

When the van arrives with the two immortals, they find the men inside with them all dead. Keane transfers them to a plane headed for Merrick. When they arrive, Merrick tests out their regenerative abilities before they're knocked out and dragged away to Dr. Kozak's laboratory for testing.

Later, Nile infiltrates Merrick's headquarters and Keane watches one of his men shoot her for trespassing. After witnessing Nile regenerate, he alerts the rest of his men that there's another immortal on site. Nile frees the other immortals, and Nicky and Joe are separated from the rest of the team when their cover is hit with a smoke grenade launcher by Keane. Nicky recovers first and tries to fight off Keane, but is overpowered as he's still healing from the blast. Joe tries to help, but is hit and knocked back by Keane after ripping his gas mask off. During the scuffle, Keane manages to shoot Nicky in the mouth and make his escape before Joe can attack him.

In Merrick's penthouse, Joe crashes through the window, successfully distracting Keane and his men while the others storm through the front. Keane cannot block Joe's hits and is swaying on his feet when Joe tells him he shouldn't have shot Nicky, and is then killed by Joe.
