Kebble

aggressive loyal unquestioning brazen
Kebble serves as a foot soldier and enforcer in the rebel faction on the Vulcan colony. Loyal to Janley and aligned with Bragen's coup against Governor Hensell, he captures intruders, restrains threats, and supports technical work on Dalek equipment. Aggressive in confrontations, he dismisses warnings about Dalek dangers, mocks skeptics, and obeys orders without question. Bragen later targets him for elimination to secure power, exposing the fragility of rebel alliances. Kebble's blind compliance and physical readiness shield operations until betrayal claims him.
