When he came to me, he was a tormented boy. Tormented by guilt. I tried to counsel him. But the eating, it filled him with white light. Tearful he swore to me that he felt the touch of God almighty.
~ Cardinal Roark explaining Kevin to Marv.

Kevin is the main antagonist in the Sin City story The Hard Goodbye. He is a cannibalistic serial killer with superhuman fighting skills and agility but the appearance of an unassuming farm-boy. He never speaks or shows any emotion.

In the 2005 Sin City film, he was portrayed by Elijah Wood, who also portrayed Sigma in Red vs. Blue, Frank Zito in the 2012 remake of Maniac, the 37th Dolan in The Last Witch Hunter and Gristol Malik in Psychonauts 2.

Biography[]

Kevin was a young man who took pleasure in kidnapping and cannibalizing prostitutes. At one point he confesses his crimes to Cardinal Patrick Henry Roark, supposedly out of guilt-claiming that eating them filled him with white light. The cardinal approved of Kevin's actions and had been helping him continue his killings ever since, and letting Kevin live with him on his farm.

Lately, Kevin had been murdering several girls from the "Old Town" prostitute circle, through connections provided by Roark, and murdered Goldie, who was one of the leaders of Old Town, because she was becoming suspicious of them after all the disappearances. At the start of the story, he kills Goldie, causing the main character who had fallen in love with her, Marv, to set out on a violent investigation to find the culprit.

When Marv finally locates the farm where Kevin and Cardinal Roark live, Kevin ambushes him and knocks him out. Marv wakes up in a cell under the farmhouse, where he sees the heads of Kevin's victims mounted on the wall and finds out that he is a cannibal. He also finds his parole officer, Lucille, whom Kevin had eaten the fingers off of and made her watch as he ate the other victims. He escapes, while Lucille is killed by the corrupted authorities, and he is later attacked by Goldie's identical sister Wendy, who thinks he killed her sister. Marv explains who the true killer is, and they go back to the farm together to finish Kevin off. Marv subdues Kevin and then cuts his limbs off, has Kevin's pet wolf eat his insides, and finally decapitates him. Kevin never makes a sound even during his own excruciating death, and keeps a blank expression even after his head has been taken off. After that, Marv goes into the farmhouse and kills Cardinal Roark in a similarly brutal manner.

Personality[]

Kevin is a remorseless man who likes to torture, murder and defile prostitutes to satisfy his sadistic urges. He's characterized by his complete lack of emotion, which only makes him a scarier and more ruthless monster. The only person he ever spoke to was Cardinal Roark. Despite the Cardinal's claims that he only killed "whores", Kevin showed no regret in subjecting Lucille, a cop, to the same tortures, biting off her fingers and forcing her to watch as he ate his other victims.

However, Kevin was not always like this. According to Cardinal Roark, he once felt remorse for his crimes which was why he came to him in the first place. Kevin claimed that he was filled with "white light" and was touched by God when he cannibalized the women. It's possible that Roark enabled this behavior of his due to his own insanity, from which the two both formed a bond. It should also be noted that Kevin is not without his limits when it comes to depravity. According to Frank Miller, he allowed John Hartigan to enter the barn and kill Roark Jr. out of disgust towards the latter for being a pedophilic child killer.

Appearance[]

In both the comic and film Kevin is a rather small and unassuming man with short brown hair and shiny circular glasses, only ever seen wearing a jumper with a zigzag pattern over his chest as well as simple trousers and shoes. In the comics he appears to be somewhat nearing middle-age and has slightly receding hair and a mild potbelly. In the film however Kevin is much younger and has a skinnier build.
