During InFamous's Dead Drops, John narrates that Kessler had trained his mind to be strong, even stronger than his. The only reason he became that monster was because he had to reconstruct himself. With no Ray Sphere, there would be no Plague, and no Beast because the Beast was created when the second Ray Sphere exploded in John's face. The point of the last Good mission is that even if you defeat the Beast, humans will die. When Kessler came from the future, he had the opportunity to at least NOTICE what radiation did to the people with no powers. Kessler came from a future where the world had already suffered everything it could possibly have: People died, cities were destroyed, etc. The Plague was caused by Ray Sphere Radiation Poisoning.Considering that Kessler seems to know that John is a potentially powerful conduit, it's possible he wanted Cole to have a potentially great ally.He may simply realize that since John isn't on his side, it will put him on Cole's side post-blast, and since Cole is supposed to save the world, being what is a essentially his sidekick is worth referring to as an important destiny. According to the comic, Kessler knows that John is an NSA agent, and he knows that the NSA is at odds with DARPA and the FBI over the First Sons' research.Kessler may not have known who the Beast would be, but only that the inherent conflict between humans and conduits would inevitably give rise to the Beast. We also know from the evil ending that Cole also becomes the Beast.That seems to be the proper suspicion that Kessler had.Technically, the wording is ambiguous enough that Kessler could be referring merely to the fact that John is a conduit rather rather than the fact that he'll become the Beast.
#INFAMOUS 2 CANON ENDING FULL#
Killing the Beast without a full activation of the RFI is the bad ending made worse, since there won't be enough Conduits left to continue the human race after the plague is finished. As the above notes, however, it's a moot point anyway. Despite what Kessler thought, there may be no other way to kill it.

In the evil final mission for Infamous 2, Nix used the RFI to weaken The Beast, despite it not being fully charged.
