Originally, Keener had a privileged upbringing and never faced real adversity, but he demonstrated a strong will and intelligence that helped him overcome obstacles throughout his life.

Keener graduated from The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, and served in the Navy as a Coastal Riverine Squadron small boat operator and weapons expert. He saw action in South America and Djibouti, earning a reputation as a charismatic and sarcastic individual. His military background and education made him an ideal candidate for The Division, where he was recruited alongside his army buddy, Carter Leroux.

After the outbreak of Green Poison, Keener was part of the First Wave agents sent to secure the Dark Zone in New York. However, the mission quickly deteriorated, and Keener was forced to retreat, leaving behind equipment and the hope of restoring order. This experience, especially an ambush by Rikers that led to the death of civilians he was protecting, deeply disillusioned him with the federal government and his role as a Division agent.

Keener eventually went rogue, recruiting other First Wave agents who shared his disillusionment and executing those who refused to join him. He formed alliances with various factions, including the Last Man Battalion and rogue agents, and conducted operations to establish control over Manhattan. Keener's ultimate goal was to establish his own order, even if it meant committing treason and being branded a terrorist.

Throughout his rogue activities, Keener remained a step ahead of the Division, using his military expertise and SHD technology to evade capture. He engineered a deadly biological virus and attempted to launch it against the Division, but was ultimately confronted and defeated at Liberty Island. However, his death was later revealed to be a ruse, and Keener continues to operate in the shadows, working with former allies and manipulating events to further his agenda. Notes: Keener is twice divorced, but maintains friendly relations with both ex-wives.
