Behind the scenes
Kieran's writing was contributed to by quest designer Carl McKevitt, who created much of the Blue Ridge Caravan Company.
 * On the Bethesda Game Studios official Discord, Carl clarified that Kieran has no living blood relatives, and that his children are adopted.
 * Kieran's face was initially much younger, with black hair and the "Anchorage" hairstyle, before he was aged up to match the voice actor. As Kieran was the first guard implemented during development, his actor template was duplicated to Aries, who kept the old face model, just obscured by the mask.
 * Carl also stated that Kieran's name is a very subtle nod to one of his favorite video game protagonists, even if Kieran's final appearance in-game makes the reference "practically non-existent." While he did not reveal who exactly this protagonist was, he stated that there were some clues left behind, including Eugenie's line about past jobs.
