History:

Keenan Vale, a racoon with some mixed genes from earlier in his family tree, was born to parents of different cultures. His mother a Native American and great lover of the outdoors and nature, his father a well-educated British professor of history. Keenan spent much of his youth growing up while traveling the USA with his parents. To keep him occupied, his parents taught him how to research each area they moved to so he would know more about the world. This was to have a profound effect on the young Keenan and kick-started his natural intellect. During this time, Keenan discovered a martial arts school that taught Parkour. He began to learn the discipline and it has remained a large part of his life ever since.

At the age of seventeen he finished school and took up studying for a history degree. His teacher and later his mentor, Isaac Green (a black bear) saw his adventurous spirit and keen intelligence and recommended his take on a degree in archaeology as well. Keenan agreed and as the years continued the two formed a close friendship. Upon his graduation, Keenan was offered a job through Isaac to work for the Museum of Natural and World History. The curators of the museum were all archivists, archaeologists, and historians alike, but more so in spite of some of their ages, they all shared a keen sense of adventure. Working with the museum, Keenan has travelled the world and uncovered several rare and unique artefacts, some controversially and his methods were brought into question. Several of his critics claim he is nothing more than a 'treasure hunter' or 'tomb robber' but it hasn't stopped him in his career yet.

On a 'back to basics' dig site, Keenan met the near giant fitness model and personal trainer, Adeola Oshodi (a hyena). Adeola had arrived at the site that had previously been scouted by her photography team with her crew in tow. After a brief exchange the two parties came to an amicable agreement and continued with their respective work. During the evening both crews joined up for a meal and drinks at a local bar & restaurant. Keenan and Adeola spent much of the evening talking about their interests and experiences. The two had a growing fondness for each other and when Adeola left with her crew the following day, she left Keenan with her contact details. Keenan and Adeola have since formed a strong relationship which mutually benefits them, both in their working and home lives.
