Biogrpahy[]
Kelvin Gemstone was born in Rogers, South Carolina in 1990, the youngest son of Eli and Aimee-Leigh Gemstone and the younger brother of Jesse and Judy. He took part in his family's evangelism efforts as a pastor of the Gemstone Salvation Center, travelling to several countries across the world to preach while also appearing on the family's television series "The Righteous Gemstones" and leading the church's choir. Gemstone lived on a massive family compound in rural South Carolina, having a mansion to himself and living an opulent life funded by tithes from the church's congregants. Behind the scenes, Kelvin also had an uneasy relationship with his siblings, as he had a fierce rivalry with his older brother and disagreed with his sister's decision to marry a liberal man from Charleston. In 2019, he and his close friend Keefe Chambers were sent to help the businessman Dale Nancy's daughter Dot with converting to Christianity. He convinced Dot to leave behind the party scene, and she began to attend his youth meetings. However, after his family was kidnapped by Scotty Steele (and later rescued), Kelvin and Judy confessed the blackmail situation to Eli to explain the kidnapping. Kelvin and his siblings were then fired from the church by their father due to their immoral and incriminating activities behind their father's back, and Kelvin decided to quit his youth ministry after suffering from a mental breakdown; he even told his friend Keefe to leave him, as he felt incapable of guiding him. When he discovered from Dot that Keefe had returned to Satanism, Kelvin rushed to a rave party to rescue him, and he brought Keefe back to the compound and apologized to him. Kelvin mended his ways and returned to his faith as the rest of the family sought to return to normality.
