I had been planning on putting Kelios in the flavor of the story somewhere, but it just hasn't popped up yet. Really, he's supposed to be the "Killed in Act 1" character... ready to fight everything and anything on Glornica. He's capable of a good fight, but he's bound to get over his head on a world he doesn't understand.

As for the untapping red creatures: I'm all for it. Personally, I've wanted to move untapping creatures out of green and into red for years. It makes more sense to me in the "I'm so full of rage right now! How can you people be sitting!" sort of way. That, and red needs all the mechanics it can get. Oh, and it's already doing it on cards like Act of Treason... that mechanic requires untapping, so why not just let red do it straight up?

All that said, this card isn't part of the untapping creatures revolution. If I was to design to that, I'd probably put 4-5 other cards in the file, and I'm not. I just don't want this guy sitting back as a permanent blocker. Round 5-7? Fine. But he should be attacking. I can't give him vigilance, so we'll give him this.
