{{Spoiler|source=Eater of Dreams (Short Story)}}
He was born on was born on [[Terra]], in the prison sinks beneath [[Albia]]. During the [[Great Crusade]], Kell was being mentored by the [[Night Lords]]' [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s [[Chief Librarian]] [[Fel Zharost]] and was among his favored students. At that time, the Night Lords had found their [[Primarch]] [[Konrad Curze]] and recruits from his [[Homeworld]], [[Nostramo]], who began to change the Legion's culture. Zharost felt these new recruits were poisonous and was among the Terran born Night Lords, who railed against the corruption the Nostramos were inflecting upon their Legion. Kell, felt differently, however, and argued with the [[Chief Librarian]] on why he felt the culture and traditions of Albia's prison sinks, were weren't superior to those of their Primarch's Homeworld. For Kell, though, it was their birthplace, Albia had no hold on him and he saw no reason not to embrace Nostramo. Zharost could see this and warned Kell against doing so or the Nostramos' culture would corrupt him as well. Kell refused to do so and this led to a falling out between them and the end of Zharost's mentorship of his fellow Terran.{{Fn|1}}
After the [[Edict of Nikaea]] was given, [[Fel Zharost|Zharost]] felt the [[Nostramo]]s' rot had finally destroyed the [[Night Lords]]. This led him to get into a physical argument with [[Jago Sevatarion]], who commanded the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] in their [[Primarch]] [[Konrad Curze]]'s absence. While Zharost was defeated, Sevatarion did not kill the former [[Chief Librarian]] and instead cast him out of the Night Lords. Zharost would leave then leave his Legion and return to the prison sinks of [[Albia]] on [[Terra]]{{Fn|2}}. To Kell, though, Zharost's abandonment of his fellow [[Librarian]]s, was a personal betrayal. Without the former Chief Librarian's presence, they were now left to the mercy of their fellow Night Lords. Despite the Edict against the use of [[Psychic]] powers, Kell and the other former Librarians were still mistreated and became traded like cattle within their Legion. Kell blamed Zharost for the Librarians' fate and developed a deep hatred of the former Chief Librarian. When the [[Horus Heresy]] began, Kell and the Night Lords joined [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]]' forces and turned upon the [[Imperium]]. Kell and his fellow former Librarians then learned the art of [[Daemonology]], under the forced tutelage of the [[Word Bearers]].{{Fn|1}}
