Background

Keegan is a sergeant in the Air Force with the 123rd Strategic Missile Wing at Tipton Air Force Base in California. He paints portraits during his free time.


During the events of Damnation Alley (1977) played by Paul Winfield

While Tanner and Denton are reporting for duty, Denton stops to ask Keegan how long it would take to paint a portrait of his wife, as he would like to give his wife one for their anniversary. The Soviet Union launches nuclear missiles and the United States launches retaliatory missiles in response. Keegan goes to the control center and watches as missiles rain down on the United States. Months later, Keegan is painting an image of the Garden of Eden on the side of a building when Tanner is returning from Barstow, California on his dirt bike, with what appears to be a passenger with him. He tells Keegan he brought him a model to paint and then Tanner makes his way towards base. On his way there he has to dodge Giant Scorpions and eventually he abandons his passenger. When he gets to base Keegan shoots towards him for abandoning his passenger and Tanner explains it was only a mannequin. An explosion erupts at the main base and Keegan and Tanner run towards it but find it engulfed in flames. A few days later, Denton and Perry drive out of the garage in the Landmasters they built and offer to take Tanner and Keegan with them to Albany, New York. On their way towards Las Vegas, a storm hits and Tanner ignores protocol to stop and dig in and instead tries to outrun the storm, while Keegan and Perry dig in. Denton and Tanner return to pick up Perry and Keegan and find Keegan injured and Perry dead. They continue to Las Vegas where they find Janice who had been in a bomb shelter when the nuclear strike hit and bring her with them. They stop in Salt Lake City, Utah to pick up some gasoline and Keegan and Denton pull out hoses to siphon fuel from the underground gasoline tanks. A Killer Roach crawls out of the underground tank and Keegan tries to step on it but it doesn't crush underneath his boot. While Denton is inside the Landmaster, Keegan is surrounded by Killer Roaches which then swarm and attack him. He crawls into a vehicle, but is then eaten alive by the Killer Roaches.
