Background
Born in 2237, this 40-year-old man is a bag of nerves is terrified of the current attacks that have been plaguing Arefu. He masks this by being incredibly short and gruff with strangers and will impart only the smallest tidbits of useless information to them. He is fiercely over protective of his wife Brailee and will interpose himself if anyone even tries speaking with her. He is the picture of paranoia and cannot defend himself. At the moment all he cares about his his and his wife's lives, and his wife's delusional mental state. Brought about by the combination of all the trouble around Arefu, living off a poor diet of prepackaged "food," and being confined to their home with Ken for long periods of time. In her delusion, she has compensated by creating a utopian world inside her mind. Although he has grown dismissive of her mental state he is rightfully concerned when she lets a stranger into their home believing them to be the mailman with the fall fashion catalog. In her delusion she believe that she is baking however she is usually breaking things about the house. Due to this Ken has started to get better at fixing things around the home.

After The Family began targeting Arefu for sustenance, and their culmination of the murder of the brahmin, Evan King put the settlement into lockdown, leaving himself as the sole guard. Ken doesn't believe that this will make them any safer and believes that they need to take action. He however follows what King tells him to do as the settlements leader. With the death of the elder Wests he will contemplate abandoning his home in Arefu to start anew someplace safer.
