'''Kellan Rook''' is an unused character concept originally planned for ''Mundus: Chapter I - Mundus Reborn''. He was designed as the leader of the Saints' Shadows, a St. Stylinson based street gang that policed the city’s neglected lower districts through a mix of mediation and violence. Kellan was also used internally as a prototype for an early “affection lock” system, and was intended to become a semi-permanent combat ally who could appear unprompted during [[Dark Energy]] events.

In later development, Kellan’s storyline was placed on indefinite hold due to its complexity, tone, and incompatibilities with the game’s romance assumptions. Following server and Lorekeeper disruptions in the summer of 2025, incomplete traces of his data briefly resurfaced during restoration and re-indexing, resulting in a short-lived erroneous in-world placement in [[St. Stylinson]] during a February 2026 update.

Line 36:

At 19 cycles old, Kellan was planned to form the '''Saints' Shadows''', an underground organization taking “gray-area” contracts to resolve disputes, sometimes with words and sometimes with force. The group also patrolled lower St. Stylinson to impose a rough stability in areas where authorities were portrayed as absent or indifferent.

By 24 cycles old, Kellan’s criminal reputation was intended to be at its peak, while remaining positioned as “low-risk” compared to major syndicates. Four additional core gang members were outlined at a high level, but were never finalized before the storyline was shelved.
