Keith

"Pfft, this guy was a loser."

- Ruby on Keith

Keith Romanelli was a school bus driver for Black's Busses whose death set off the events of The Gift.

The Gift
Keith was first mentioned when The Irregulars heard the news of a corpse (Keith) attacking the local coroner, forcing the coroner to shoot and kill him. The group's investigation led Ruby to Keith's house, where she discovered that he lived a depressed life after being fired following an incident at work. Ruby went on to learn that Keith was a recovered alcoholic who relapsed after his firing and later found a suicide note on his bed. Though she initially mocked his lifestyle, Ruby soon began to identity with Keith.

When the group questioned Sammy Brown, the man who struck and killed Keith with his truck by accident, they learned that Sammy and Keith were coworkers for Leon Black at Black's Busses.

When Emily read Leon's mind, she learned that Keith had accidentally crashed his bus into The Narrows with three students on board, Joey, Damien, and Sophia York. Later, the group learned that all four had been reanimated via The Orb, which explained Keith's resurrection in the morgue.
