The Kept is the collective name given to those Travellers monitored by or in contact with the Beacon-Entity who do not possess official Atlas Keeper status. Keeper membership can be withheld for a variety of reasons, including (but not limited to) voluntary abstention, ethical disqualifications, and general ignorance of the Keepers' existence.

The Kept may or may not be given pseudo-titles to distinguish their personalities, aspirations, and research purposes.

History

The first Kept was Traveller Taro, an individual discovered by Bea'key and brought to the attention of the Beacon-Entity. Originally intending to extend them an invitation to the Keepers, the Beacon-Entity abandoned this plan after lengthy surveillance proved Taro a potential threat.

It is the Beacon-Entity's sincere hope that future Kept will enjoy a mutually benevolent relationship with the Keepers.
