Kevin Winnicot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He was killed by KOS-MOS, because he protected Shion * Individual attributes Gender, male. T.C. 4739~T.C. 4765. Age at death, 26 years old. Height, 186 cm. * Affiliation At time of death: affiliated with Vector Industries First R & D Division. The person in charge of the KOS-MOS (Depend on Order Strategic Multipurpose Control System) development plan integration and operation system development. * Enneagram type Based on the Enneagram personality classification, he is classified as a type 5 (innovative (or reformist) / analytic / extremist / convention breaker). Historical figures classified as the same type as him include Friedrich Nietzsche, Albert Einstein, and Sigmund Freud. As one can see from this, people of the aforementioned type deeply understand the mechanisms of the world by using unique insight, analysis and ability to think and are people who possess the possibility of discovering new, original patterns. Once that is accomplished, they go down in history as geniuses. In this type of person, one can see a tendency during infancy to have ambivalent feelings toward the parents. However, there are surprisingly few records of Kevin's childhood, barely any remaining records of his graduation as the top student at Bormeo University in his youth, and after that, records up until his entry into Vector Industries have been erased so verification is impossible. The motivations for the type 5 are a wish to understand the world, a desire to possess knowledge for that purpose, and a wish to protect oneself from the threat of the world. There is a high possibility that the knowledge he sought through the development of KOS-MOS was directly connected to understanding the world. Conversely, perhaps he developed KOS-MOS because he thought that it would be useful in understanding the world. While the type of person like him who joins himself to the world through thought could potentially be called a genius, at the same time, there is also the hidden possibility that he could be called a fool. What is the difference between a genius and a fool? They both deviate from the beaten path, that is to say that they are unique. However, the direction of that uniqueness is very different. Geniuses have the power to understand the world through lucidity. On the other hand, fools try to force their own logic on to the world. They are both people who can talk about the world using a fundamental logic, but the former talks about theories based in facts while the latter twists it into facts based on theories. Which kind of uniqueness did Kevin really possess? * Talent Kevin possessed uncommon knowledge about Realians as well. When Shion, who was carrying out the mental care of the Realians in the Woglinde's Realian adjustment room, said "this is all second-hand information from my superior," that superior she spoke of was Kevin. The mental care of Realians is said to be difficult even for specialists. The structure of Realians' brains is extremely close to that of humans and they are even endowed with intelligence and feelings. In addition, KOS-MOS' is also a faithful reproduction of a human brain. Where did Kevin, who had knowledge of both Realians' brains and KOS-MOS' brain, come to gain such knowledge? Formerly there was Dr. Joachim Mizrahi, known as the leading authority in the world on brain research, and the Mizrahi Cerebral Sciences Research Center, but there is no information to verify whether or not Kevin was affiliated with either one. This is due to the fact that when the Mizrahi Cerebral Sciences Research Center became the U-TIC Organization and that same organization turned into the present day armed group, data from the past was lost. However, the time period in which Kevin was graduating Bormeo University as the youngest top student ever was before the start of the U-TIC Organization and it is only natural that an excellent student like Kevin would enter into the Mizrahi Cerebral Sciences Research Center. Also, when one assumes this, it is possible to explain the environment in which Kevin gained the knowledge about brains that he had. * Kevin's death Kevin, who had uncommon talent and knowledge and had a high chance of going down in history as a genius, died during KOS-MOS' rampage. The unit of U-TIC Organization troops that Andrew was commanding planned the capture of KOS-MOS and raided the KOS-MOS development research center belonging to Vector Industries. At that time, he lost his life to KOS-MOS, who was rampaging on autonomous mode. Just before the attack incident, it is clear that someone from inside of the development center handed over the start-up gear for KOS-MOS to Andrew, however, it has not been specified who that person was. There is a theory that it is Kevin, but there is no proof. Also, Kevin shielded Shion and was killed by KOS-MOS. If Kevin helped in the seizure of KOS-MOS, would he have taken an action that would result in him giving up his life? If one assumes that he wanted to protect Shion, wouldn't he have made an effort to help Shion escape to a safe place without taking an course of action that would result in his own death? Someone as intelligent as Kevin should have thought it out and acted accordingly. What was he seeking in exchange for his life?
