[Relationships:

• Neal Caffrey: Keller met Neal at the Grand Casino in Monaco during the World Backgammon Finals. They were once friends and partners in crime. Their friendship ended when they pulled a three-man job together that ended with the third man being shot by Keller because of a misunderstanding with leaving a passport behind. Neal didn't agree with Keller's use of violence. Keller is described as Neal's "blue collar" version, but he has a taste for expensive wine. He's got immense appreciation for Neal's abilities, even if he thinks he's better.
• Peter Burke: Peter Burke is an FBI agent and Neal's handler whilst Neal is still on parole and acting as a consultant for the bureau. Because of Peter's connection with Neal, Keller uses Peter to get to Neal. Keller has, on separate occasions in the past, kidnapped Peter and his wife, Elizabeth. Keller is a criminal and Burke is an FBI agent, so they are working against each other from the beginning. Their relationship is especially contentious, though, because of Keller's past with Neal and Keller's personal attacks on Burke and his wife. ]
