Personality[]
Ken initially appeared to be charismatic, charming Velma with his laid-back attitude, attractive physical appearance, and helpfulness. He also appeared to cooperate with Mystery Inc. by giving them information about the ghosts, revealing to them the ghosts' identities. However, he was later revealed to be a greedy man who wanted to sell the ranch he worked on, using criminal means to scare visitors away from the ranch. Though Velma initially showed romantic interest towards him, she later abandoned him after discovering his involvement in the crime, calling him a malicious, criminal idiot.
History[]
Scooby-Doo (DC Comics)[]
Ken worked as the foreman at the Lazy I Dude Ranch under Stetson Rogers and Jim Evans, but plotted with Evans to sell the ranch to the Warmer Sisters, who wanted to build a Seven Flags amusement park on the land. Evans and Ken respectively disguised themselves as the ghosts of Stella Houston and Sissy Hawgshank, the ranch's founders, and scared visitors away from the ranch. They were first seen meeting Mystery Inc. at a dining area shortly after their arrival at the ranch. However, Ken later intimidated Scooby while he was walking in the desert. Back at the ranch, he entered an informal romantic relationship with Velma, offering her aspirin, where he introduced Houston and Hawgshank to Mystery Inc. Ken and Evans then attacked them as the ghosts.

Soon after the initial attack, after Evans changed out of his ghost costume, Ken attacked them as Houston's ghost at an old mill, chasing Fred, Daphne, and Evans before Evans strangely disappeared along with the ghost. Later, when Mystery Inc. found a document detailing the Warmer Sisters' deal to purchase the ranch, Evans and Ken both attacked them as the ghosts, but Fred lassoed them off their horse, capturing them. Both Evans and Ken were exposed for their crimes and handed to authorities.
