By book

Kevin and Magnificent Troy in book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods

'We are live, ladies and gentlemen!' A beta-tested format: the fight's music lowered to background, our mugshots on fire, a diagram of a shark's three stomachs and a skeleton in heart boxers, and two men laughing while babies eat each other (ch. 26, ch. 27). Kevin narrates Carl's depth-charge design and Vadim's flight.

Kevin and Magnificent Troy in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade

Kevin the lizard names the Hunting Grounds on the recap before 'Redacted' cuts him off (ch. 8).

Kevin and Magnificent Troy in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

Kevin the announcer, an orange four-eyed lizard, sits beside Prime Minister Glory on the show (ch. 8). Kevin and Magnificent Troy, the orc, appear in a window in the sky, sent away from the Lucia Mar slaughter in Beijing to call the card fight, drunk, beer bottles in hand (ch. 55, ch. 56).

Kevin and Magnificent Troy in book 7 — This Inevitable Ruin

Kevin hosts the officer interview in a privacy bubble (ch. 56); Magnificent Troy will not come down to the surface, and is later drunk (ch. 42, ch. 44).
