Berlint University Student Terrorists

The Berlint University Student Terrorists was a group of isolationist terrorists from Berlint University led by Keith Kepler. They are the main antagonists of the Doggy Crisis Arc.

History
Berlint University student Keith Kepler desired to break the thin veneer of peace between his home nation of Ostania and its neighboring country, Westalis, and restore Ostania to its "former glory" by bringing Westalis down through war. Keith began his plans to achieve this goal, forming a terrorist group with fellow students who shared the same ideals. Keith decided to instigate war by assassinating Westalis Foreign Minister Brantz on the day of the East-West ministerial summit in Berlint.

Stella Star Arc
Making the preparations for his plan, Keith and the group purchase former test subject dogs from the black market, planning to use them as suicide bomb dogs to send after Brantz.

Doggy Crisis Arc
After acquiring the dogs, Keith begins to set the plan into motion. The group rehearse their plan and stake out the site beforehand, planting several bombs throughout Berlint. On the day of the summit, Westalian Intelligence caught word of the group's plan. They capture Kris, who was loitering around the embassy, and Sylvia interrogates him. However, Kris refuses to sell out his comrades, causing them to call in Twilight for help. After watching home videos of Keith, Loid manages to impersonate him to trick Kris into believing that Keith used him as a scapegoat. Kris reveals to Sylvia the names of his group members, their hideout spots, and their planned method to assassinate Brantz.

At their hideout in the city, two members go out for a walk, bringing two dogs along with them. On their way back to the hideout, they attract the attention of Anya Forger, who curiously follows them after reading Bond's mind with her telepathic powers. At the hideout, Keith goes over the plan with the others, which Anya overhears. Kurt catches Anya and reveals her to the group. Keith attempts to kill Anya to silence her, but Bond protects the girl by jumping between them. While the group intimidates Bond into submission, they get distracted by a phone call from Kim, who saw their other hideouts getting raided by agents. Inferring from Kris' absence that they have been sold out, Keith orders the group to switch to their "Plan B" before realizing that Anya escaped with Bond. Because she saw their faces, Keith and Kurt bring a dog and go after her, but not before Keith tells the others to clear the hideout and disperse.

Keith and Kurt corner Anya and Bond, but before Kurt can kill her, he is knocked out by her mother, Yor Forger. Keith attempts to have his dog kill them, but Yor intimidates it into running away. Having caused a scene, Keith flees, ditching Bond and retrieving the other dog. WISE agents intercept a report regarding one of the student terrorists on the move, and Sylvia deploys agents to position themselves on routes they could be going on. The agents capture seven students in total; Sylvia interrogates them, and, disgusted by their plans for war, she berates them for their ignorance.

Keith witnesses the arrest of his fellow members and concludes that he must carry out the plan alone. After giving the dog with him a sample of Brantz's scent to track, he plans his next move. Assuming that his Plan B positions have been compromised, Keith realizes he can use the security around the clock tower to lure the pursuing Western spies into a trap. Keith plants a bomb hidden behind a door inside the clock tower, rigging it to explode if opened. While he does think of the innocents that will get caught in the explosion, Keith justifies it as a necessary sacrifice to the group's cause. After completing this, Keith waits outside the hotel Brantz is staying in. However, Anya foresaw the disastrous result of Keith's bomb through Bond's precognitive powers and hurries to stop it. While unable to dismantle the bomb, she leaves a warning for Loid to see when he arrives, leading him to discover the trap.

Deducing Keith's next move, Loid goes to Brantz's hotel room and takes the minister's clothes to disguise as him. Loid then drives off to lure Keith to the other agents. They attempt to stop the student, but crash after he throws a stick bomb their way. Keith catches up to "Brantz" running off at a dead end and sends the dog after him. The dog eventually corners Loid, and Keith detonates the bomb. However, Loid had already removed the bomb from the dog and thrown it into the river as it exploded, shocking Keith. Realizing his plans are ruined, Keith attempts to escape but is once again stopped by Yor. Their brief reunion results in Keith crashing his car and later being apprehended by the police, and his plan is stopped for good.
