"This is Vekta. This is our home, and it always will be. I want you to remember that."
―Michael Kellan[src]


Michael Kellan was a Vektan and single father of Lucas Kellan who appears in Killzone Shadow Fall.

Biography[]

On December 27, 2370, during the Helghast resettlement on Vekta and the forced eviction of several thousands of Vektan civilians out of New Helghan, Michael and his son, Lucas, attempted to escape to the safety of the Vektan side of the Wall, for fear of being killed by the aggressive Helghast. He and his son witnessed from their home a man being gunned down by the Helghast. The pair grab supplies and make their escape shortly before their home is raided by the Helghast.

During their escape, they encountered Shadow Marshal Thomas Sinclair, who helped them in their escape. When they were near the Wall, Michael stunned a Helghast soldier guarding the route, but then expressed displeasure of seeing Sinclair shoot the helpless Helghast. When Michael, Sinclair and Lucas were near safety, Sinclair told them to wait for him as he scouted the area ahead, claiming the route to be dangerous. As they waited, Michael and Lucas were then spotted by a Helghast drone, which alerted nearby soldiers to their presence.

Though they tried to escape, Michael was then shot and injured by a trio of Helghast soldiers. Despite pleading for mercy, he was then shot dead by the soldiers. His son was saved by Sinclair, who would later take Michael's place in raising Lucas.

Show: Preparations to move

Michael: "Come on Lucas, it's time to leave. We can't take everything, just what we need. Listen I know this is tough, but we don't have a choice. We have to get to the Wall, we'll be safe on the other side. I'm gonna look out for you, but I need you to do the same for me. Okay? You're going to be my second in command. Let's go."
Lucas: "Coming, dad."

Show: Moving through obstacles

Michael: "Lucas, get in here! We have to be quiet. Okay, wait here. Don't move until I tell you."

Michael: "Thanks."
Sinclar: "Is this your kid?"
Michael: "I'm taking him to the Wall."
Sinclair: "Looks like you're going to need some help."
Michael: "You're a Shadow Marshal, aren't you? Why are the Helghast doing this to us? There was an agreement; we were gauranteed safe passage out of here."
Sinclair: "Hey buddy, I don't like it any more than you do. But until you get to the Wall, it's their rules. Like I said, you're gonna need some help..."
Michael: "You can get us to the Wall? Safely?"
Sinclair: "Look, the south crossing is closed so we're going to have to take the long way around. We've wasted enough time here already."
Michael: "What's your name?"
Sinclair: "Sinclair."
Michael: "I'm Michael Kellan. This is my son, Lucas. (Turns to Lucas) We're going to go back outside. I want you to stay close to me and don't make any noise. Okay? You're doing great. (Turns to Sinclair) I'm trusting you."
Sinclair: "You'r dad's a smart man, kid. Let's go."

Show: Jammed door

Michael: "What's wrong?"
Sinclar: "The door is jammed. There's something blocking that door. There's a hole in the roof. One of us might be able to squeeze through, drop down and clear what's blocking it."
Michael: "We need to move. It's too late to turn back now."
Lucas: "I can do it."
Sinclair: "He's the only one small enough to fit through there."
Michael: "(To Lucas) Come on. Now once you get up there I want you to stay out of sight and I want you to go straight for the hole, okay?"
Lucas: "Sure."
Sinclair: "(To Michael) Seems like a good kid."
Michael: "He's always had his own way of doing things."
Sinclair: "He's braver than some of the adults around here."

Sinclair: "Take no chances."
Michael: "No, I didn't sign up for this."
Sinclair: "No, you signed up for my help. This is it. Worry about your conscience when we're on the other side. Come on. We're not far from the Wall."
(Upon reaching a small wall)
