Keval was a soldier within the Andorian Imperial Guard in the 2150s.

He was one of four Andorians who ransacked the Vulcan monastery at P'Jem in 2151, in order to locate a hidden listening post. During the third raid of the monastery in June of 2151, he, Thy'lek Shran, Tholos, and Thon found the sensor array with the help of Captain Jonathan Archer and his crew from Enterprise NX-01.

Keval operated the scanner the Andorian commando brought with them. He was also part of the search parties at the monastery and witnessed how the entrance to the Vulcan listening post was discovered in the reliquary at the catacombs beneath the monastery. (ENT: "The Andorian Incident")

Keval was played by actor Jeff Ricketts who filmed his scenes between Wednesday 22 August 2001 and Wednesday 29 August 2001 on Paramount Stage 8 and 9.
His costume from this episode was later sold off at the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [1]
Keval was referred to once in the stage directions from the first draft script of "Shadows of P'Jem" (written while the episode had the working title "Untitled Andorians Return"). He would have been present with Shran in the first scene of that episode that Shran appears in. However, Keval had no scripted dialogue and was ultimately written out of the script (as well as the episode itself).
