After certain recent escapades in 'Dark Lord Rising' Keller ended up wearing racing leathers stolen from one of Fairwater's elite SWAT team (see also http://projectfuturecomic.com/darkl.....hp?strip=01-00 ) It looked pretty good on him so I was going to commission a fullbody of that from Merlin. Problem being she wasn't open for commissions.
However, she eventually did a greyscale version of this for Inktober and sent me the PSD so I could try colouring it. I have attempted to emulate her shading style. I'm not sure it quite worked - it looks too clean and is missing some of the randomness in her actual artstyle.
I think the biggest change from the original is removing the 'BR' badge on the front. While Keller is a compulsive thief, I'd like to think he was given the suit by King Fairwater on condition he didn't use it to impersonate one of his SWAT team (again).

You know, despite being accused of being an incubus, we have yet to see Keller's head wings... or any wings, really. Even when captured by teams and presumably slapped in anti-cubi braces he's just appeared to be a normal being. He was also undressed from his leathers and put into rags, so his clan mark must have been discovered... particularly since he's the groups mage must have tapped into his clan power by now.
One might assume that he's not an incubus at all and that the big reveal on what or who is actually is is going to be a plot point latter on, and these sexy leathers are just a mind game to throw us off the track.

Depends on how the bracer works, there are many kinds. Some of them will lock the creature in their current form and prevent them shapeshifting. Others might revert them to base form, but that could make the person even more dangerous. Some of them force them into Being mode - it's easier to arrest and/.or execute someone if their indestructible wings have been taken out of the equation.
Clan-marks can be painted over and there is also the possibility of someone wearing a patch or charm to ensure their disguise remains intact even if they get KO'd.
As for clan marks, Fairwater and his goons are more concerned about him causing grievous bodily harm to one of the strike team and stealing Crown property, than what race the perpetrator is. Annoyingly there is an infamous incubus thief whose backstory hasn't yet been done because people voted for Azrael's instead. And interestingly that thief looks quite similar to Azrael.

Even in this later time, 'cubi are not well-loved. People are apt to remember the claims made by the Dragon race and their stooges to turn people against them. Worse, his best friend is apparently obsessed with killing 'cubi so if he is one, Keller is going to take great pains to conceal it.
Yes, I've heard your statement about Sven being anti-'Cubi before, but the only real piece of evidence I've seen so far is the accusation of murdering King Fairwater's niece, and, really we can only guess that she was a Succubus as well (You've already established that Daryil Clan is rife with 'Cubi who were either the product of a union 'twixt Being and 'Cubi or born as Beings and later 'Cubified. With the exception of Queen Admaria herself, we have no idea how her clan operates in this regard and we already know that Daryil is hardly the first clan to bring Being blood into the gene pool). So, unless there's something I'm missing...
