- OUTWARD PERSONA:
While working for President Reynolds, Kellerman believed what he was doing was for the good of the country. He believes in putting the well-being of others before his own. He used to be a cold-blooded killer but, after realizing the error of his ways, he became a completely different man. Kellerman believes he has a responsibility to right all of the wrongs he’s caused. He’s helpful and can get things done. In the past he may not have been very trustworthy, but the new Kellerman is beyond trustworthy.- DEEPER DETAILS:
While working for the President and Company, he really had been a cold-blooded killer but he had always had a soft spot for his family--or, more specifically, his younger sister. Before his failed suicide attempt, he had gone to her to hint at what a big mess he was in. After helping Scofield and the other ex-cons bring the Company down, Kellerman became a US congressman but a part of him knows that no matter how much good he does for the country he can never really be forgiven for all of the things he's done in the past.

- HISTORY:
Kellerman had a relatively normal childhood. His father was ex-military and a cop. His mother was a stay at home mom. He was always close to his younger sisters. It was no surprise when Kellerman announced after his high school graduation he was attending West Point. His father couldn't have been prouder of his only son. Kellerman graduated from West Point. He served in the Gulf War and achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. A promising future in the military didn’t stop him from rejecting an offer to work for the Secret Service. Kellerman was assigned to protect Caroline Reynolds, whom he served for fifteen years. He quickly became a key figure in the conspiracy to frame Lincoln Burrows for murder. He was given the job of preventing anyone from finding out about the framing, and he always thought that Reynolds should stay far away from The Company.
After discovering that The Company had ulterior motives for framing Lincoln, he starts to become disillusioned and demanded to know that he’s working for Reynolds and not The Company. And once the prison break happens, instead of searching for Lincoln and Michael he tracked Sara Tancredi instead. And it wasn’t long before Kellerman would demand to talk to Reynolds but was instead forced to talk to Mr. Kim—a company operative—only, confirming Kellerman’s fears that Reynolds was nothing more than a pawn for The Company.
Kellerman successfully captured Dr. Tancredi but it wasn’t long before she escaped from him, and Kim has no choice but to erase all records of Kellerman. Kellerman became a rouge agent. He allied himself with Lincoln and Michael, helping them try to take down Reynolds. Upon failure, he tried to commit suicide. That also failed, and he called his sister, who managed to convince him to testify at Sara’s trial. His testimony helped exonerate her and Lincoln but Kellerman himself was arrested. Upon being transported to jail, Kellerman was seemingly killed by Company agents.
But the men who came after him were really working for Lincoln and Michael’s dad’s anti-company resistance group. Kellerman joined them, and, after getting in contact with Sucre and C-Note and having Michael deliver Scylla to the UN, Kellerman was able to exonerate Lincoln, Michael, Sara, Mahone, Sucre, and C-Note.

A happy family…That was a concept that Paul was completely unfamiliar with. His parents hadn’t cared for him or his sister all that much. And once he was out of that house he never made any effort to contact any of the three of them. But he had managed to get himself to visit his sister the day he had decide getting dressed in his military uniform and putting a bullet through his head was the right way to end things for himself. And then she had come over soon after the failed attempt. All of that, though, was months in the past, and he didn’t foresee himself calling her any time soon.
Sometimes he wondered if he had had a family that cared about each other if he would have chosen the career path that he had. Probably not. He still would have ended up working for the secret service and being assigned to (then) Vice President Reynolds. He still would have been a little too smitten with her, which would have still made it easy for her to pull of the ‘you’re working for me, not the Company’ gambit they had all fooled him with. He still would have helped kill LJ’s mom and step-dad. He still would have ended up having to kill his partner, Agent Hale. Nothing would have changed.
That was a rather depressing thought. It was time to focus on the future, rather than the past. He was still young. He had plenty of time to fix his mistakes. He had started with the people he felt he wronged the most, and he would most likely end with his own family. What would his parents’ reaction be when they saw their only son for the first time in God knew how many years? Knowing them, they’d be angry with a hint of joy deep down somewhere inside of them.
LJ, like Paul predicted, wasn’t too happy to see him. At least the kid wasn’t running away. “I’ll have you home in plenty of time for dinner,” he replied, making the grand assumption that seven o’clock wasn’t LJ’s curfew time. Family dinner was another concept Paul was unfamiliar with. Even when all four of them had been at home they hardly ate together. Too many family arguments cropped up when they were all seated at the same table. He opened the passenger side door, got in, shut it behind him, and buckled up.
Where to begin? A simple ‘I’m sorry’ would never do in a situation like this but it was a start at least. Maybe the rest of the words he needed to say would just flow smoothly out of those two. “I’m sorry,” he said, keeping his eyes fixed on the road because he didn’t want to see LJ’s ‘yeah right’ sarcastic kind of looks. “You have every right to despise me for the rest of your life but if it wasn’t for me your father and your uncle would still be on the run…No, scratch that. They’d be dead right now.”
