Biography[]
O'Keeffe was originally a recipient of Generation Two augmentation surgery.[1] He notably worked as an espionage agent during the Island Four Disturbance. O'Keeffe's talents were recognized by Arquebus Corporation's Information Department, and he accepted their offer of employment on the condition that he be given Generation Nine augmentations to reverse a condition known as "Coral burn-in" that was affecting his brain.[2] Eventually, he was recruited by the Vespers, Arquebus's elite AC unit, and rose to the rank of V.III.
During the Coral War, O'Keeffe served as a double-agent working for ALLMIND before betraying the A.I. during the corporations' struggles over Watchpoint Alpha, after knowing about the danger of Coral Release. In response, ALLMIND hired the independent mercenary C4-621 "Raven" to assassinate O'Keeffe at Depth 3 of the Watchpoint. During the battle, O'Keeffe told Raven that ALLMIND and Coral Release were not worth it. He expressed his frustration of being human and living on Rubicon, but he also didn't want to abandon his humanity. O'Keeffe dies accepting his fate and bidding V.IV Rusty goodbye.[1]
Following the corporations' descent into chaos after V.II Snail was decimated, V.VIII Pater swore vengeance on 621 for killing O'Keeffe, whom Pater felt indebted towards.[3]

Trivia[]
- He was originally a second-generation Augmented Human before receiving ninth-generation augmentation as a condition of joining Arquebus.[1]
- There is cut dialogue for O'Keeffe in the game files during "Destroy the Drive Block." He is in charge of leading the Arquebus ground forces, and is shocked upon seeing a Schneider AC among the Rubicon Liberation Front forces, before realizing that Rusty is responsible. He then reports to Snail that his forces are unable to hold the ground, and that he must deploy the interceptor fleet and his new machine.
