Background
Keshin was born to Kagami Uchiha one year after he bore his first son, Shisui Uchiha. He had utmost respect for Shisui, and looked up to him as an example. However, they were separated afather the Nine Tail's Attack on Konohagakure. Due to Kagami losing his leg in the assault, he could no longer provide for his family as a shinobi. This motivated Shisui to graduate early, as the pride of the Uchiha Clan. Keshin, was forced to move with his grandmother, at the other side of the compound. There, he spent the rest of his days in Konohagakure. He soon after these events graduated from Academy at age seven. He was assigned to a team under the directory of Koeda, a jonin of Konohagakure. They were dispatched on a mission to protect an alchemist on his way to Iwagakure, and soon learned a mysterious member of the Uchiha clan was hunting him down for betraying the 'Hidden Darkness Village' known as 'Kuraigakure,' Keshin soon met this ninja in combat along with Kokugatsu, who mysteriously had the Mangekyo Sharingan and made use of his Amenosonzai and soon defeated him. The man grabbed their teammate Yamanaka Hikari and held her in front of himself, stating leaf shinobi cared too much for their comrades. Kokugatsu remained stationary, while Keshin plunged his blade through both shinobi. And thus, awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan. After this ordeal he was soon promoted to chunin after participating in the exam with his squad mates Kokugatsu and Aburame Toji. He made it to the finals of the exam tournament, only to lose to Uchiha Itachi. Shisui's best friend.

Abduction
As Keshin was walking one day to the Nakano Shrine to attend one of the final clan meetings, he overheard Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Shisui talking. As he moved to investigate, he witnessed Danzo steal Shisui's right eye, angering Keshin. He charged Danzo and his Root shinobi as Shisui made his escape. He killed four of seven men, but was overwhelmed and his right arm was severed. He blacked out, and accepted his fate. Only to be defended by a masked man. When he woke up, he had a new arm created from Hashirama's Cells. The masked man had brought him to a hidden cave and called himself Uchiha Madara. He explained to Keshin the Eye of the Moon plan and requested his help. Keshin accepted, and Madara gave him time to rest. But not before requesting he bring the 'Boy with the Divine Eyes' to him. (Referring to Kokugatsu)

Forming Equinox
After recruiting Kokugatsu, Madara assigned him and Keshin to a team known as Equinox. A secret Akatsuki Intelligence Unit tasked to track down jinchuriki and such. Keshin had to work under the alias Shingetsu. And Kokugatsu was called Tenjo. Both were concealed in cloaks and porcelain masks while serving Madara, and their existence was hidden from all Akatsuki members.

Personality
