Biography/HistoryDonovan began his career in boxing, pressured into prize fighting by his father. His brother Arlen soon followed in his footsteps and the Keller's were known all over Ireland. Donovan however wanted to learn other forms of fighting and decided to travel the world. In his travels he ended up hooking up with a group of traveling gypsies her performed where ever they went. Wrestling, boxing, magic acts, freak shows, it was it's own little circus.
While with the troupe and as they traveled, Donovan learned many forms of fighting and sleight of hand. His interest in magic peaked and he broke of from the group to study all across the world, eventually signing with major wrestling promotions to make ends meet. He sought to be a well rounded fight, but more than anything he was looking real magic. Something substantial, something real.
For awhile Arlen Keller, the bigger little brother of Donovan, tagged and they were a Dynamite Duo known as TnT. However Donovan was a showman and always felt like he was carrying his brother and broke off for a solo career, finding himself very successful while his brother fell into his shadow.
Donovan incorporated his magic tricks into his act over time, becoming "The Ghost" as he would tend to do amazing tricks and disappear and reappear. He was more of a prankster than anything, never really causing much harm, but as time passed and he learned more and more, he became darker and more sinister.
Eventually the persona of the Magic Man came to light. A do anything to win and almost supernatural force of nature. Spilling blood and causing chaos seem to be Donovan only goal. Championships were meaningless when you could sit on the top of a pile of victims as the victor.
Donovan's had notable run ins with Tommy Stone, Akragth, Loh Elenas and his ever so favorite, Zack Fantana. He's run federations, burned them to the ground, and everything in between. He's an unpredictable manipulator and will typically surprise even himself when the time comes to act.
