Kit Nelson

Kit Nelson is an antagonist in Alcatraz. An Alcatraz inmate imprisoned for kidnapping and murder, Nelson was presumed deceased before resurfacing in modern-day San Francisco.

He is portrayed by Michael Eklund.

Backstory
In his younger years, Nelson was hidden in a bomb shelter with his brother Elliot during World War II. During their stay, Nelson murdered Elliot and told his mother that he had died of scarlet fever. Despite knowing the truth, his mother buried the body before an autopsy could be performed.

Years later, Nelson worked at the company C&C, which used to make bomb shelters before and during World War II. As a result, Nelson knew the locations of bomb shelters throughout the United States. In 1958, Nelson would proceed to abduct three children and force them to partake in his brother Elliot's favorite activities, before strangling them to death and returning their bodies. He was eventually caught and imprisoned in Alcatraz.

Alcatraz
Nelson was despised by the other inmates, due to child killers being lowest on the criminal hierarchy, and he was often beaten by the other prisoners. At some point, he was visited by his father, who also hated him. Eventually, Nelson confessed to the murder of his brother to Dr. Milton Beauregard, the chief doctor at Alcatraz.

Decades later, Nelson resurfaced in Sn Francisco, introducing himself as Warren from a shop named Keller's Hardware, which he had robbed earlier. While using a uniform as a disguise, Nelson introduced himself to Kathy Callahan, the mother of Liam and Dylan Callahan. Nelson secretly stole the Callahan's house keys, and kidnapped Dylan some time later.

Nelson forced Dylan to partake in Elliot's favorite hobbies: going fishing, going to the cinemas, then the cafe, before finally taking him to a bomb shelter.

At the shelter, Nelson engaged in a standoff with police detective Rebecca Madsen, using Dylan as a hostage. However, Nelson was finally killed via gunshot by Emerson Hauser, the head of the government agency.
