Keel is a champion appearing in Quake Champions.
Summary[ | ]
Keel the Resurrected War-Machine is an African-American human cyborg. He first appeared in Quake 3 and again in Quake Live.
Bio[ | ]
The Terran Coalition’s reverse-engineering of Slipgate travel created new frontiers – and wars. In the Subic system, thousands of mining colonists were slaughtered by the Klesk, an indigenous chitinid race. The first casualty: Lance Corporal Ben Keel, a marine on perimeter duty.
To learn what happened, Coalition scientists used neuroprosthetics and poorly understood xenobiology to resurrect Keel. He returned to life with a mostly robotic body, but with his mind and memories seemingly intact.
Only weeks later did the fugues start, each bringing longer-lasting visions of a shadowy hellscape.
Abilities[ | ]
Grenade Swarm[ | ]
Keel is equipped with grenade launchers, which operates on a cooldown. Each grenade takes 9 seconds to cooldown and up to 5 grenades can be stored for use.

- Cooldown (total): 45 seconds
- Cooldown (per grenade): 9 seconds

Notes
- Getting a direct hit with a grenade will instantly detonate it, dealing the maximum amount of damage.
- Keel's grenades will shoot from the center of the screen despite the visual animation alternating.

Concept[ | ]
Lance Corporal Keel was killed protecting an offworld mining colony from the alien Klesk. Resurrected as a cyborg, he began seeing visions of hellscapes that soon turned real.[1]
