Keo Parata

Keo, a character in the #LoveHacks series, is a firefighter and Brooke's husband. He is first seen in Book 2, Chapter 1.

Background
Before he became a firefighter, he was a security guard at the run-down FunWorld Amusement Park, where he killed boredom by playing pistol arcade games; this explains his "scary amount of skill" with a gun. He also played Call of Warfare, which was how he got the embarrassing nickname of "Razor", his gamertag and username.

Apart from his job as a fireman, Keo also organizes the annual charity ride of the Trash Hogs, a biker gang with whom he is friends and who know his gamertag, for the fire department. He also participates in the Big Brother program, mentoring a teenager named Johnny.

One time, he filed a complaint against his coworker named Ruben, who agitated him by always slacking off and who was thus fired.

Appearance
Keo has brown eyes, brown hair in a ponytail, stubble and tanned skin. He wears an orange firehouse T-shirt and, occasionally, a firefighter's uniform. He has a tattoo on his left arm.

Personality
Although he is a firefighter, he is very suspicious. He is shown to lose his temper quite easily, with his rage scaring even Horatio, whose wrath was acknowledged by his peers as already terrifying. He treats fire as a serious threat, no matter how small it may be, and is wary of anything that may suddenly combust, such as dry wood at Burning Sands.

Despite his gruff and intimidating appearance and his shady actions, he is a nice man who really loves Brooke, whom he marries, and has several side jobs that benefit others. He is very responsible, filing a complaint against a consistently erring coworker and warning everyone against fire hazards and abuse of emergency services. Even after Brooke uninvited her friends from her wedding, he still sympathizes with them during their apology. After the misunderstanding around him is finally clarified, he still remains in good terms with his wife's friends.

Brooke
Keo and Brooke met during the fire at The Double Tap in Book 2, Chapter 1. They got married in Las Vegas in Chapter 9. He is very protective of Brooke, perking up angrily after Horatio hinted threateningly about someone (referring to Keo) being dishonest with her, demanding with innocence but equal ferocity who that someone is. Brooke on the other hand is very fond of him, immediately wanting to marry him just a short time after meeting, being attracted to his heroism and looks.

Cole
Cole thought Keo is very suspicious and firmly believed that he is a criminal.
