Though he's now an ancient ghoul, Connolly was a die-hard fan of both The Silver Shroud and Mistress of Mystery series, having listened to every single one of its 420 episodes (holiday special included) of the Silver Shroud and having encyclopedic knowledge of every detail of the Mistress of Mysteries comic. He was quite possibly the single biggest fan of both series, which is why his knowledge was tapped by Frederick Rivers for building and recreating the Order of Mysteries underground lair. For nearly a year, Connolly was unknowingly advising Frederick Rivers on details from the comics and possible design solutions for the devices used by the Mistress of Mystery. This was all unbeknownst to Kent as Frederick kept the advising through email correspondence only.[1]
Post-war[]
His life in the wasteland taught him many harsh lessons and after two centuries, he just keeps to himself, reliving his beloved show over and over again in a quiet corner in the Memory Den. However, deep in his heart, he desires to bring justice and peace to the wasteland: By bringing about the Silver Shroud. Trouble is, the old, rickety ghoul can't just go around shooting people. He has the gun, yes, but he has neither the costume, the condition, nor the aptitude to take up the mantle of the Silver Shroud. That's where the Sole Survivor comes in.
