Origin
Born in the City in the Space Between, Keele was a baker, and one of the lower class who dreamt of becoming a Pathfinder and travelling between worlds. He met and fell in love with a woman from the upper class, Primrose. He took part in the riots in the City as the poor tried to earn equal rights, and, worried that the City would soon collapse, he sought to escape with Primrose, abandoning the revolution in the process. She balked at the last minute however, and he was shot down in the streets below her window. He became one of the many ghosts haunting the Space Between.
Creation
Keele was created by Lilah Sturges and Jim Fern. He made his first appearance in House of Mystery #11.
