- Background:
- Keogh joined Starfleet early in his life and with his eager discipline he managed to achieve one of the best graduation results in Starfleet Academy's history. After leaving the Academy in 2331 he became Tactical Officer onboard the U.S.S. Excelsior. He rose up in ranks and finally became Department Head in 2337.
In 2345 he left the ship and was transfered to Starfleet Command as a Tactical Analyst. He spent several years there and then joined the Command Branch with the rank of Lt. Commander. In 2354 he was promoted to Commander and became XO of the U.S.S. Adelphi, where he was promoted to Captain and took over the CO post. In 2367 he was transfered to the newly commisioned U.S.S. Odyssey - his dreams came true. He now commanded the newest Explorer of Starfleet and was eager to make history. In late 2370 he underestimated the threat of the Dominion and the Odyssey was lost with all hands aboard during a rescue mission in the Gamma Quadrant.
- Appearance and Personality:
- Born in 2308, Captain Keogh has white short hair and blue eyes. He is around 1.75m tall and slim, but fit for his age.
Keogh is a more or less unfriendly person and very strict and disciplined. He does not tolerate failure but wants perfection. He passionately sticks to Starfleet's regulations and expects his subordinates to do so either. His missions are solved by the book and this discipline made him famous in the fleet. He is an analyst and reasons through any situation intensively until the problem is solved. His weakness is that he cannot imagine unorthodox methods or ideas. Nevertheless he is a brave person and believes strictly in Starfleet's principles.

- Editor's Note:
- Captain Keogh was not given a first name in The Jem'Hadar, the episode in which he died and lost his ship, but a novel entitled The Brave and the Bold: Book One establishes "Declan" as his first name. The novel also deals with the origin of his conflict with Jadzia Dax, alluded to in The Jem'Hadar.
