Kevin Smith is a character in killer7, one of the playable protagonists and a persona of Garcian Smith.

Appearance and Personality

Kevin's silent nature makes his personality virtually incomprehensible; supposedly, he does not speak because his voice is capable of summoning the gods. Notably, he is never seen wearing a shirt, except when in disguise. Kevin is albino, and wears dark glasses at all times because his eyes glow; he activates his powers of invisibility by removing them.

Story

As a real human, Kevin was forced to kill "the man he loved" in a battle in Miami. An expert knife-thrower, he was recruited by Harman Smith for his killer7 assassin organization, where he served the group with his abilities to kill swiftly and silently with his knives. He also seems to have had a penchant for disguises not really seen in the other members. He eventually dies when Emir Parkreiner murders the entire killer7, absorbing their personae into himself. The boy confronts Kevin on the ground floor of the Hotel Union, seeing through his bellhop disguise and shooting him in the chest several times. As a backlash to this failing, Kevin gains the ultimate disguise, invisibility, in the "new" killer7.

When the killer7 faces off with the Handsome Men in Broadway, New York, Kevin loses his fight with Handsome Dead; both throw their knives simultaneously, but Kevin misses, and Dead connects.

Kevin presumably ceases to exist when his persona is killed by a Black Smile in the gymnasium of Coburn Elementary School.

Powers and abilities

While he does not wield guns like the rest of the killer7, Kevin is able to throw knives with perfect accuracy (without ever needing to invest in the Waver statistic, which is replaced by an Invisibility one that instead increases the length of time he may remain invisible) and without the need of reloading.

At the cost of a little Thin Blood every second, Kevin has the ability to turn his entire body (and all its effects) invisible and insubstantial, allowing him to escape detection for a little while, as well as pass through obstacles such as laser fences.

Kevin's voice is also said to have the power to summon the gods, which is why he never speaks at any point in the game.

Trivia

• Kevin seems to be completely mute, not even uttering grunts of pain when attacked by Heaven Smiles. However, there are two unused voice files in the game's audio files labelled sePcKvn37 ('Well, you're a lucky son of a bitch') and sePcKvn38 ('Alright, gentlemen'), which, going by their filenames, were presumably intended to be spoken by Kevin.
• Kevin Smith is also the name of an actor and film director, though Suda51 claims not to have heard of him prior to the release of killer7, nor has he seen any of his films.
• In the book titled Hand In Killer7, it claims that Kevin is homosexual even though it is never mentioned in the game itself.
• Also, based on info given Hand in Killer7, Kevin is described as being taciturn, liking dark places and hating heights. In addition, his eyesight is said to be rather weak.
