Keith Gandor

Keith Gandor (キース・ガンドール, Kīsu Gandōru) is the oldest of the Gandor brothers (being somewhere in his late twenties or early thirties) and with his two younger brothers Berga and Luck inherited the Gandor Family from their father. Throughout the course of the anime he never speaks and is almost always seen with a deck of cards. He met his wife-to-be Kate sometime in the mid to late 1920s when she was still a silent film pianist. It is unclear in the anime if they are married or not, since there seems to be no wedding band on his ring finger. They are, however, married in the light novels.

Personality
Keith does not show much of his personality other than the fact that he and his brothers are inseparable. He does not tolerate any wrong doings in his territory or allows drugs to be distributed due to how it could destroy lives. His actions speak louder than words due to the fact he remains mostly silent for longer periods at a time, this habit of his has rubbed off on his great-nephew Charon Walken as well, leaving the latter mute in his storyline.

It is said that he loved his wife very dearly and found her once working as an organist for silent films, her soothing music indicates that Keith has a specific taste in music. Keith also has a very strange form of 'kindness' when punishing his enemies or insubordination; in one incident he leaves cards for Dallas Genoard to 'play' with during their lifetime under the Hudson River to him agreeing to have Edith's hair trimmed for her perceived insubordination.

His silence can be broken however if he is aggravated enough, as seen when Claire Stanfield insulted Maria Barcelito's principles, suggesting Keith respects other's values and honor.

1930 - The Rolling Bootlegs
Keith and his brothers play a minor role in the events of the storyline, preparing to punish one of their traitorous associates when word got out of his treachery. Later on, his brothers hear that their bar was raided by Dallas Genoard and his gang, in search of two bottles which had been confiscated. This came after Firo Prochainezo had slighted Dallas's gang while defending the owner of the bottles - an old man named Barnes. Due to their association with the Martillo Family, he and his brothers participated in the celebratory party that welcomed Firo to the ranks of the Camorra. This party was interrupted by the sudden arrival of Isaac and Miria, which led to everyone accidentally drinking the Grand Panacea. Keith was present when Firo had 'eaten' Szilard Quates and saved his romantic interest Ennis. He also saw Isaac and Miria off when they were chased by the police out of New York. Life returned to normal, saved for the fact that he was now granted eternal life.

1931 - The Grand Punk Railroad
Keith joined his brothers along with Firo, Maiza and Ennis to Grand Central Station to meet another family member, their "fourth brother" Claire Stanfield. Their intention was to deal with the menace caused by the Runorata family in relation to drug trade. After the train arrives with Claire nowhere to be seen, he, Luck and Berga meet him outside the station. There, Claire announces his change of name due to the 'death' of Claire Stanfield (as a conductor) on The Flying Pussyfoot. For now, he tells his older brothers to address him as Vino or the Rail Tracer until he can get a legal name. Claire tells them that he is eager to destroy their enemies in order to continue his search for someone he had fallen in love with.

1932 - Drugs and the Dominos
Keith and his brothers were facing large threats from the Runorata family due to their Capo, Gustavo Bagetta, capitalizing in the drug trade. To counter this threat, they had requested Claire Stanfield to join the fray and put a stop to the turf war that was escalating in the city. Upon their request, The Martillo family agreed to stay on neutral grounds to prevent further bloodshed. This led the brothers to have two lovers from their organization face a dire situation against the Runoratas. Keith visited the President of the Daily Days to provide information about the Runoratas. He and his brothers meet up after making a deal with the Daily Days, only to find Edith seeking their help. She reveals that she had been hiding her boyfriend from them, thus breaking the Omerta due to his association with drugs and the Runoratas. When they refuse to kill a woman in their midst, their torture specialist Tick Jefferson proposes to cut Edith's hair as punishment instead. Edith then tells them of Gustavo's plan to kill all the brothers at the Daily Days and requests the presence of Vino as payment for one of the Daily Days' staff.

Eventually the brothers corner Gustavo when he and his men arrive to raid the Daily Days. It is revealed they told Bartolo Runorata about Gustavo's rampage for the past few days, and made agreements to spare Gustavo's men on the condition that they are able to deal with Gustavo himself. Keith leaves while Gustavo battles Claire and the assassins he hired while Eve Genoard and Luck Gandor stay to find out more about Eve's estranged brother Dallas.

After Claire stops the turf war and Gustavo is in custody, everything returns to normal. The brothers hire Roy into their family on the condition of paying off his debts and quitting drugs permanently.
