Kehl

Kehl was a hab addict who lived in "The Gutter", specifically the suburb of Kistios.

"Skinny as hell", Kehl had stringy brown hair, sunken eyes and "clothes that hadn't been washed since before Korhal was nuked."

Biography
Throughout her life, Kehl had been financially aware. Her parents "mortgaged their future to pay for their present" and ended up heavily in debt. This was how they died, miserable and starving. Not wanting to repeat their mistakes, Kehl never took loans or used credit, always paying up front for everything, including her hab addiction which was supplied by the crime lord Fagin's drug dealers.

Although this approach put Kehl in good standing with her sellers, it had the effect of steadily draining away her finances and possessions. Although employed by Getreu, payment was irregular and money wasn't always avaliable when it was needed. This came to a head in June, 2500, when Kehl had run out of both possessions to sell to her housemates (Prix, Mai and Cisseta), had an empty bank account and needed a hab fix. As such, she resorted to asking Fagin for credit.

Despite her solid payment record, Kehl still had to oblidge by Fagin's new system. Anyone asking for credit had to be read by "The Blonde"-a telepath. "The Blonde" did so and warned Kehl to leave-she knew that Kehl had nothing to pay Fagin and given her rate of hab consumption, never would. Ask Fagin for credit and all she'd recieve was a bullet.

Kehl eventually got her fix, courtesy of Markus Ralian who also accepted her request for employment. This was never met however, as the zerg invaded Tarsonis before she could begin such work.
