I feel like that should be a bit of trivia, but I don't know where exactly that would go. Maybe Seth's page - something noting that every other Kiyoteru character in the series is based off of him? Behemo's conversation definitely directly implies Keel is a pure ghoul child. It's not clear if you can still be a ghoul child if you descend from two (ghoul parents...?). The same with the others.

What strikes me is that the Zorachs have been guarding this facility for 500 years. Was that when the babies were frozen? If so, why in the (roughly) EC 060s-130s period? If this was instead Seth stockpiling clones way back when before dropping the concept in favor of the Meta method, why were they frozen in Marlon and what happened after over a hundred years that put the Zorachs in charge of tombkeeping the place?

Likewise, it's not clear whether Keel was an actual HER or not. He's mentioned to have rough origins and be rather ruthless before becoming a loving husband, father, friend, and ally, but we haven't seen much in his behavior betraying that image. Even HERs like Irina who show legitimate (if twisted) love and Seth who doesn't have much purpose both consistently demonstrate HER symptoms. It's a curious situation.
