  Personality:
  As Leo got older, his ability to get into trouble only escalated with each passing day. While his temper wasn't as bad as it was when he was younger, he did have an attitude problem and would often get into fights because of it. The fights weren't started by him 90% of the time, but he did end them. Because his parents taught him self-control he was always able to stop hitting someone before he went too far. Usually, the fights are because he's protecting someone, the protective trait from his youth carrying over. Leo is still a sweetheart at times, being a great older brother to his sisters and being quite respectful of women because of the women in his own life. Even though he's had very few girlfriends, he knew how to treat every last one of them. Leo can be quite humorous in a snarky sort of way, even sarcastic since that seems to be his family's gimmick. He can also hold a grudge, seeing as he's still holding Ali's lack of support at times over her head.
  
  For some reason, Leo has placed a lot of responsibilities on his own shoulders. Ali thinks it's because he looks up to his father so much and wants to be able to take over when/if he steps down. Leo understands that sometimes he can be immature, but he doesn't want to let his father down and is afraid of being a disappointment. This leads him to often make stupid decisions when he thinks they're good ones. He's never shy about voicing his concerns but will try to do so with others' feelings in mind. Often times he can be seen as a people pleaser, wanting to make sure everyone is comfortable and has the help they need. It's not that he wants everyone to like him, it has more to do with the fact that he doesn't want to end up bored. He noticed that when he ends up bored, he can often do stupid and reckless things and would rather not worry his mother or let down his father.

  History:
  Much of Leo's childhood was pretty normal in terms of growing up in a mob. He had plenty of cousins to run around with, Thomas becoming his favorite and soon his best friend. His parents were together and happy and he rarely ever saw them arguing or fighting. That is until Conor went away to prison when he was 7 years old. In the beginning, he was very confused as to why his father wasn't sleeping at home or why he couldn't see him for a time. Ali and Seana both tried to explain it to him, but it wasn't until their first visit that he started to understand. It was explained to him that Conor was in prison because he was trying to protect his family but the way he had done so caused him to break the law. Leo started to see him as more of a hero than anything else when it was put that way, something Aliana was grateful for. It did confuse him as to why his grandmother was taking him all the time and not his mom, though he just figured it was because she was taking care of all their businesses. The one day Ali did attend a visit and it became clear as to why she hadn't. Three years went by with his father in prison and without him there to help with his anger issues, Leo had a hard time. His mom was busy and when she tried to make time for him, she was always tired. Granted he had his cousins and pets to keep him company, but he wished he had his parents again. Seana was the only person he had ever told this to, the older woman being his confidant of sorts. When his mom wasn't around or able to keep her eyes open, his grandmother entertained him and helped him with his anger issues.
  
  Leo bore witness to a lot of attacks his mother had been through, the bombing of a party space being the more notable one. He was afraid he was going to lose his mother too and for the next few weeks stayed at her side no matter what. Luckily his mother hadn't argued with him too much on it and let him come with her during all her business deals. It became their way of spending time together whenever she would offer to let him tag along. He didn't understand a lot of what was going on in those businesses but made sure to ask his grandmother questions later. When his father came home, Leo was beyond excited and thought no one would be able to ruin the day for him; until it was kind of ruined. Leo was informed his father wasn't going to be staying with them right away, immediately blaming his mother for it. He didn't quite understand why he was so angry or why he blamed her, but he understood that this wasn't the time to be throwing any kind of tantrums. Even though Ali allowed Conor to stay that night, it wasn't completely satisfying to Leo since he didn't have both parents.
  
  Eventually, his parents started to work on their relationship which was a good thing in his eyes. Instead of spending time with one parent over the other, he had both of them back in their home. They had even decided on having another child, to which Leo made clear it needed to be a boy and not a girl. When they brought home Rhiannon, he was not only shocked because it wasn't the boy he wanted but also because he was now a big brother. He made a promise to his parents and to baby Rhi that he would protect and get his anger under control so he didn't end up in prison-like his father.
  
  When the family moved back to Dublin, Leo started to get into more trouble. His home life wasn't as stable as he wanted and he wasn't processing all of the change in a healthy way at all. After the death of his grandmother and his mother's heart attack, he started acting out even more. In school, he wasn't exactly starting fights because he knew his parents would be pissed if he had, but he was definitely instigating them. He would always argue that when he got into fights he was doing it to protect someone that was being picked on but that wasn't always the case. He needed an outlet and someone suggested he try fixing up cars and started to like it. As far as his education went, he did go to Uni, but it wasn't what he wanted. Really he wanted to join the military with his cousin, but his problem with authority and wanting to help out his mother prevented that so he went to school instead. He's currently in school to get his Master's in Science to be a Mechanical Engineer.

  Personality:
  Raised in a wealthy family and going to the wealthiest schools that NY had to offer raised Roxie to be a well-rounded individual who has an appreciation for all things upper-class. Given her status amongst the other classes, she isn't known to be unkind or rude. Well known throughout the community for her charity work, Roxie enjoys giving back as it brings her joy seeing the smiles on others' faces, not able to imagine what it is like to have nothing and waiting for a better life. Though she may not be able to relate on that level, most people who meet her open up to her regardless, she has warm and open energy that eases your worries and you won't even notice you spilled all that you've been feeling until it's over. Despite her kind disposition, Roxie has the spirit of a warrior within her. She's very opinionated when it comes to what she is passionate about and isn't afraid to debate with any man about the rights she feels she's inclined to have as a woman. The years have changed her and that happy-go-lucky outlook she used to have on the world has diminished with time. While she is still warm and open, Roxie has developed a pessimistic side with everything that had gone wrong in her life. As a mother, she is fair and loving but firm not allowing her children to walk all over her. As a friend, Roxie is very devoted and is willing to do anything she can to make sure those around her are happy, sometimes sacrificing her own happiness for them without thinking about it. In a relationship, Roxie is honest and true, knowing that in order for love to work there must be trust and without it, there is no love. She is loyal and trusts them up until the point they hurt her, then it's very very hard to earn her affections back as she has to guard her own heart that's been hurt far too many times in the past by her being overly kind and just letting things go.
• 
  
  
  History:
  
  Roxanne Beatrice Carriveau was born to Angelica Biancardi and Stefano Carriveau in New York, New York, on Christmas Eve, 1945. From the moment she arrived, the child lived nothing but a high life. But this didn't change the way Roxie was raised. Going through years of etiquette classes starting at a young age, she was raised to be a well rounded and modeled individual for the lower class to look up to. She was placed in the best schools that NY had to offer and was being raised to go to school to be a lawyer someday. This of course wasn't what young Roxie had in mind, acting out and hiding from lessons when she didn't want to go. But quickly she learned that this was not the way the family was going to work. Living in a household where her father had a vice grip on both herself and her mother changed Roxie's perspective on how she saw men and marriage. Not that her father hurt them physically, she still saw that her mother wasn't allowed to do as much as she should have been able to do. At least 3 times a day, Roxie was called into her father's office to discuss what was expected of her as a young lady. They had a reputation to uphold, of course, her Uncle wouldn't stand to have the Biancardi name slandered was (at least that's what her father told her.)
  
  In her teens, her stance on how the house should be run only grew more opinionated. Skipping her etiquette classes turned into skipping school to go to rallies for the new movement for Women's Rights. She loved the thrill of rallying together with her fellow women, she met so many of them from different backgrounds, and yet they all had experienced the same kind of discrimination and oppression. It amazed and inspired Roxie. She would never forget how her father screamed at her, and for the first and last time, laid his hand on her cheek. She never skipped class after that, not for fear of what her father would do to her, but the women had reminded her that Knowledge was power, and she needed that power to prove to her father that she wasn't just any other woman. Once she graduated high school, she was accepted to Harvard Law School, where her parents urged her to go. It had always been their dream that their little girl grew up to be someone important, someone, powerful.
  
  But Roxie never saw that for herself, she didn't need the power...more so, she didn't want it. There was too much responsibility for being wealthy, with being overly successful. For years she had grown up with all eyes on her and now it was her chance to escape. Little did they know she had also got accepted to NYU. The woman was quick to accept the offer and though her parents were angry with her, she told them how much she loved them but it was her life. At the moment, she only talks to her mother...her father pretending like she doesn't exist and has been for the last 8 years. Earlier in 1970, her Uncle approached her and asked if she would organize the charity events that the family ran and she was ecstatic to take the position, taking it very seriously, her charity events are the talk of the town and while it is her passion she was still pursuing a career in teaching.
  
  Things changed in 1971 the moment she decided to go to a party that the famous Porter family was having for their head boss's birthday with her roommate and best friend, Savannah. Meeting Syd Porter had been something out of a strange dream and she never really imagined falling for a man like himself. To make a long story short, she ended up pregnant with his daughters the only night they had slept together and her involvement with the mob only grew from there. Despite being involved with the Porters, Roxie had zero idea that her family was involved in a similar business, and when her father used her as bait to get what he wanted from Syd and his family it had come as quite a surprise. Though her relationship was complicated with her father, she mourned the loss of him when Syd had no choice but to kill him. With that understanding in mind, Roxie to this day still doesn't speak about it as much as she should be, knowing that it would only make her relationship with Syd all the more complicated. At 7 months into her pregnancy in February of 1972, Roxie had become so stressed that she went into labor dangerously early, the birth of her beautiful twin girls, Jeanie and Jane almost costing her life. After her father's death and the birth of her daughters, her Uncle Giovanni came to her with her father's will and revealed that everything her father had possessed including his charity business and law firm along with the millions of dollars he had to save was all left to her. He also revealed that their family was more than just entrepreneurs and they too ran a pretty successful mob within New York City. Her Uncle asked for her help in persuading Gabriel Moretti, with who the Porters were at war at the time, to come to an agreement with the Porters. Her involvement in her own family's business had to be kept a secret from Syd at first, but being the person that she is Roxie caved and told him the truth. It was after then that she decided to tell her family that she wanted nothing to do with their business, leaving them to their own devices. Things between Syd and her were patched up pretty well after that day she told him the truth. Roxie was there for Syd when his Godfather Jackson died, trying her best to comfort him, focusing on him rather than herself like she probably should have been. Syd and she agreed that she should see someone so while she was in New York, Roxie started to see a therapist that she was allowed to see after Syd did some thorough investigating of the woman.
  
  Things seemed to be looking up for her in terms of her new depression and her relationship with Syd. Despite being from New York with the rest of her family living there, she kept true to the words she had told Gabriel, moving with Syd and his family to Ireland when they were pushed out of the states with the help of her family being the middlemen. Everything seemed normal up until the day she found out that Syd was spying on her family behind her back. With that revelation, everything once again came crashing down on her once again after she was so honest with him about what she had done. Feeling betrayed, she broke up with him taking the babies with her for a while. With the money she inherited, she bought her own place in Dublin deciding that even though Syd and she were through she could never take the children away from him. A month or so later into her new single life, Roxie felt that she was becoming sick however the symptoms she was having were very similar to her first pregnancy. Finding out that she was pregnant again had sent her spiraling like she had a few months prior and with no family in Dublin to help her, she decided to put her faith in Syd's hands once again but this time just as friends and parents, nothing more. They both stayed close together during her pregnancy up until the birth of their son and soon after, Roxie started to push Syd away immediately, saving him and herself from any further heartbreak. After her son's birth, Roxie was determined to do something more with her life than being just a stay-at-home mother so she enrolled in school at the University of Dublin and studied law.
  
  When she graduated, her family offered to hire her as a criminal defense lawyer, and being the one to never turn down her family, she took it. Now she runs two law firms both in New York City (her father's firm) with the help of Mitch Van Gerwen along with a new one she opened in Dublin. She has had a very successful career as a lawyer, making a very big name for herself in the criminal world as the best defense lawyer around (which is honestly a reputation that she hates). On top of that, Roxie still is invested deeply in charities despite her shutting down her family's front in New York. Inspired by those who she knows that came from orphanages, Roxie opened the "House the Children Foundation" which helps (1) underfunded orphanages get more funding (2) battle child homelessness and displacement in the foster care system. She hosts many charity events in Dublin and New York with the help of wealthy beneficiaries who want to fund a good cause.
  
  Nowadays, she only sees Syd when she has to drop off the kids at his house. They remain pretty neutral and that's the way Roxie hopes it'll stay. Roxie met Matthew Moore 3 years ago at a parent's evening at school and when they bumped into each other again, they hit it off instantly and Roxie believed that she could finally have the normalcy she was looking for both her children and herself. Even though she is involved as a lawyer for her family, she believed that the Mafia life was finally over for her. That was up until her Uncle died in March of 1985. Roxie expected to go to New York to be at his funeral, pay her respects and that was that. Little did she know that her Uncle had much more planned for her...

  Personality: Jeanie has always had a big personality, from the time she could talk she made her presence known as loudly as she could. She's a pretty happy-go-lucky spirit majority of the time however when she is down, she's really really down. Her parents' separation made her grow up faster than she should have, always feeling the need to care for her siblings when it seemed like sometimes, her parents simply could not. Much like her mother, she's very sensible and practical, and soon after she hit a certain age, Jeanie thought she was too old for things like imagination and while her dreams of her parents making up were good to hold onto for a while, she eventually let them go. Being the eldest, she feels very protective of her younger siblings and isn't afraid to rough up the kid who messes with them (though at school a lot of kids know better than to do that by now) and she always takes the leadership role on because her personality is naturally made for it. Like her father, Jeanie has her bad days which are starting to increase as her life goes on and her temper has been explosive for quite some time. Despite that, she is a pretty happy-go-lucky kid (or that's the allusion anyway), always trying to smile to show her parents and siblings that everything is A-okay...even when it's not. Being hardheaded is something that she seemed to get from both of her parents and while she loves and respects them both, she always seems to think she is right even where other adults are involved.

  Personality:
  JJ is a troublemaker, don't let that innocent looking face fool you for one second. While he is sweet and kind to those around him, he's always looking for the next trick or prank to play. He doesn't like to follow the rules but when he's caught breaking them, the first person (if available) he cries to for help is his mommy. With his siblings, he's a bit of a terror, always teasing and pranking them, annoying the hell out of his big sister especially. He's very curious about things and that tends to get him in a lot of trouble at times, leading him into danger that he really doesn't sense until the last possible moment when it might be too late. Despite his momma's boy personality, when it comes to kids on the playground, he likes to talk big and act big, up until it comes time to prove it. Then he hides behind his big sisters for comfort and protection. With his parents, he truly loves and adores his mother, when not causing trouble he is attached to her hip, except when she wants him to do chores, then he acts like he's sooo sooo busy. With his father, he gets along with him for the most part, but even as a kid he can see that there is a disconnect between them, and while he loves him very much, he just doesn't know how to talk to him on an open level like with his mom.

  Personality:
  Matthew is a kind and generous man who likes helping others. With a good moral compass and a respect for the law, he does the best he can to always maintain a clear conscience. Not motivated by religion or fear of God, Matthew is good to others by nature. Unless given a reason to behave otherwise towards a person, his default stance is to be pleasant and welcoming towards others.
  
  Matthew's honesty is something that has built him a good reputation, but at times it can work against him. If he feels someone is in the wrong, he will gladly tell them to their face, regardless of how intimidating or powerful that person is perceived to be. He doesn't like to see the 'little guy' suffer, so out in the adult world as well as in the playground, he will jump to the defence of someone he feels is being bullied.
  
  A romantic, Matthew knows how to treat a lady and though in the past it has led to girlfriends taking advantage of his nature, he refuses to change himself due to the flaws of others. The stubbornness of staying true to himself does extend to general stubbornness. If he believes he is right, he will defend that until real evidence to contradict him is presented - only then will he admit to being wrong. Even if he should simply submit in an argument to salvage the other person's emotions, he doesn't always realised at the time. A non-violent man, he prefers to settle disputes through conversation and discussion.
  
  Through his profession, Matthew is a man who likes structure and punctuality. But whilst he can be a stickler for routine, he enjoys being able to unwind outside of work and chores. He enjoys days out to historical sites but also knows how to arrange fun trips for children to enjoy. He is a firm but fair teacher, who punishes misbehaviour but for good behaviour provides suitable rewards and encouragement that has made him a generally well-respected teacher amongst his pupils.
  
• 
  
  History:
  As far as childhoods went, Matthew and his sisters had a relatively privileged upbringing. With his father a paediatrician and his mother a school headmistress, the family had enough wealth to live comfortably. Despite often facing the attitude from others that they were spoiled, the Moore children didn't have everything handed to them on a plate and the household was full of firm discipline. Their parents pushed them at every opportunity, as well as made sure they were competitive and ambitious. Matthew was both sensible and motivated, so it wasn't often he was on the receiving end of his father's lectures and he earned plenty time to socialise with his friends outside of school.
  
  Growing up in Dublin, Matthew was aware of the class wars, with even the friends he mixed with coming from all kinds of social backgrounds. Down to Earth and generous, he found himself friends with those of similar wealth but also befriended the poorer peers living nearby. In 1960, he became more than aware of the unrest in his city caused by conflicts within criminal and political organisations. There had already been gunfire and bombings reported in the previous months, but one evening during a family meal in a restaurant, gunmen opened fire in the place. The Moores were lucky enough to be seated away from the line of fire, but that night Matthew witnessed death and bloodshed which would never fully escape his thoughts.
  
  Although his father wanted him to pursue a career in the medical field, Matthew's interests were in History and English. He completed university with a Masters Degree in History. His first jobs were as university lecturers, but five years ago he decided on a change of career and accepted a job as a Deputy Headteacher in a school, with his teaching focused on the high school-aged children. It was during a parents' evening that Matthew first met Roxie who was there with her twin daughters. Although he didn't teach the children, Matthew and Roxie ended up bumping into each other, with them instantly hitting it off. Now three years into his relationship with Roxie, the couple are engaged to be married. Although aware of her ties to the criminal underworld, he tries not to involve himself with it. Matthew would prefer her to distance herself from the Irish Mob and Italian Mafia, but it's not something he would push her into doing and is happy as long as it doesn't affect their relationship.

If his client is on the hook he’ll fight tooth and nail to personally climb up and remove them from said hook.
  
  His run in with the East Harlem Gang left him scarred, not only physically, but mentally as well. Now possessing a much shorter fuse, he is quick to lash out, normally at the various paralegals and junior partners that earn his ire through a slip in professionalism or work, perceived or actual. The mostly good natured man is largely gone, replaced by a man who has thrown himself into his work.
  
  Having been born into the New York upper middle class he also has a taste for the finer things in line, whether that be alcohol, music, cars, houses or women, though his devotion to his work and reserved demeanor has left him without a wife or significant other. He generally scorns activities or areas that he considers below him, fast food or bowling for example, two particularly hated activities of his, and he only passed through Brooklyn once, in a cab, and he decided that was quite enough for him.

  History:
  
  
  Spoiler: Birth - 1972

  Mitch was born into upper middle-class New York Society. The Van Gerwen’s could trace their ancestry back to the original Dutch colonisers of Manhattan, something his father would often bring up at parties, over a few drinks, or in the bank in order to speak to the manager as fast as possible. Mitch was born the only child of Michael and Rebecca Van Gerwen, and as such was doted upon by them. His father was a high-flying Property Lawyer and expected his son to follow in his footsteps in going through Law School. Even without his Father’s academic contacts, it would have been expected that Mitch would have done well. Leaving high school with a 4.0 GPA and a 170+ LSAT. Of course, the donation by his father (an ex alumni) also helped, but Mitch was good enough that there weren’t too many accusations of him having been accepted on his father’s coat tails. By the time he graduated 3 years later, majoring in Criminal Law and Financial Law, Mitch had the benefit of an education from the leading law school in the country. The world was his oyster, if he wanted a job he could have waltzed into near enough any law firm in the country. And that is just what he did, returning to the hustle and bustle of New York City, his home, passing the bar exam within a couple of months. He started work at Willis Knapley LLP, a small specialised law firm dealing primarily with financial and business law. Mitch was good, everyone admitted that, a fine young lawyer with untapped potential. But it wasn’t long before it all started to go wrong. Something that he had picked up at Yale was a gambling bug. Now as a poor student, and one with rich parents to back him up if it all went wrong, the bets were small. Poker games in the dorms, a $100 here, another $100 there. Now he was making serious money however, he started building up serious losses. By the age of 24, a mere 3 years after starting work, he was over $200K in the hole. Now some of this was to his parents, a number of ‘emergency loans’ and some to friends, however they had all reached breaking point, his friends having given up on him, and his parents essentially cutting him off after catching him attempting to steal one of their cars as a way to write off one debt. The problem was that $30K was owed to far less savoury figures, as the banks had stopped giving him loans he had been forced to go after less legal and regulated sources of money. And now he was in debt to a group that you did not want to get into debt to. Things got even worse as the knowledge of his debt problems worked their way up to the senior partners of the firm that employed him. Given the disrepute he could bring to the firm, as well as the situation of a bankrupt lawyer working on bankruptcy cases, they were left no choice but to let him go. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back with his relationship with his family. His mother and father cutting the final ties at the ignobility of their sons sordid behaviour, a stain on the good name of Van Gerwen. It wasn’t long before the loan sharks caught up with him. However before any kneecaps were shattered, or teeth were pulled, he was able to swing a deal. They had a couple of their boys coming up to trial on embezzlement charges, he’d get them off the hook. At the time he was bluffing, he had no idea if he’d be able to get them off, but it was either that or lose his knees, and he was willing to take the chance. It paid off. All 3 boys were acquitted, and $30K of debt was wiped, on the understanding that he would be on retainer for a year free of charge for any other problems. Of course whilst he was out of debt, the damage was done, no reputable law firm in the city would take him now he had a reputation of associating with criminals. However that reputation did come with other work, and that’s how he found himself caught up with Porters. Within a few month he had own registered law firm, consisting of himself and his secretary, Van Gerwen LLC, served as a legal front for his work with the criminal class, and gave him a legitimate front to hide behind. His first encounter with the Porters was a recommendation from another family about a year ago, acting on behalf of a couple of their men who had been charged with drug smuggling. As he had done before with the loan sharks, he proved himself in the eyes of the Porters by getting them off scot free due to a number of technicalities, loopholes and most importantly a bit of intimidation from the Porters. Since that opening help, he has essentially worked solely for the Porter Family, in terms of both criminal law, and financially, helping to funnel assets and money, laundering and managing the legality of their taxes and accounts. Whilst he keeps the firm running, he is a one client Lawyer now, effectively on retainer, and a trusted member of the Family, even if he doesn’t get his hands dirty himself. Mitch lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
  
  It was under Mitch, and with the assistant of the then unknown traitor Maddox, that he managed to get Conor Sullivan out of prison on parole, something that had seemed near impossible at first, their relationship rocky at best with Conor's history of the law. But together they managed to form a strong working relationship, one that saw Mitch becoming not only a close business confident to Conor, but also a close friend. That isn't to say that he managed to fully integrate himself with everyone, crossing Syd Porter (James' adopted son) over (of course) a woman, this a rivalry between them which at points became physical. In the end he was the one counting the numbers and pulling the strings on the various businesses that the Porters (and later Sullivans controlled), and that opened him up as a target. Targeted by the Moretti affiliated East Harlem Gang, he soon realised that just dealing with the paperwork didn't make him a non-combatant, and his weeks long imprisonment and torture fully revealed that fact to him. The months afterwards were spent in recuperation, mental as well as physical as he sought to overcome his ordeal.
  
  Emerging from the hospital and self imposed seclusion he was a changed man, more withdrawn and furtive, quicker to anger too. His relationship with Rachel, brought about through his association with Conor, soon fell apart, especially with Conor departing for Dublin. And there Mitch was left, the Sullivans were gone, and he was left alone, with money yes, but little in the way of purpose. It was then that an unlikely figure came to him, offering him purpose and a job. Roxie, the very woman that had led to him being beaten up by Syd in a stairwell. With the death of her father she had effectively inherited his Law Firm, but without the necessary qualifications and experience, she was essentially a figurehead and little more, and so she needed someone to run it from the inside whilst she did the studying and work necessary. And so she picked Mitch. For 13 years he has run the Carriveau Law Firm, first alone and then with Roxie once she qualified. With her return to Dublin, he essentially runs the company day to day as senior Partner, with Roxie's leaving gift being the renaming of the firm to Carriveau and Van Gerwen LLP.

  Personality:
  Sinead has always been described as a kind and sweet woman, who oozes natural energy. Up to her early twenties she was a naïve and idealistic woman who tried to look out for the good in everyone. However, from her twenties through to her mid-forties, she suffered many brutalities and losses. This triggered her depression and bipolar further, with her spending much of her time worried about the safety of herself and her loved ones. Regardless, the last decade for Sinead has provided her with some of her happiest years since she was a teenager. Although she can still be ditsy at times, her life experiences have made her more confident in herself and she doesn't let people take advantage of her. Though she still looks for positives in every situation, she has long since accepted that some people can never be saved and she is far less likely to forgive those who wrong her or her family.
  
  Sinead adores her family; the greatest aspects of her life. She is playful and flirty with Peter, a man who she loves the same, if not more, than she did the day they married over 30 years ago. Again, the last decade has proved to be the best of their marriage with the move back to Dublin and Peter's retirement from the mob proving good for them. Sinead loves all of her children and no matter how old they are, she isn't afraid to spoil them rotten. Even if she isn't comfortable with them being involved in the family business, she is still immensely proud of all four of them for the "amazing" people they have become. As for her grandchildren, Sinead finds great joy in being a grandmother and always offers to babysit, enjoying having little ones around the house. In fact, she is known to offer to look after the other children in the family and those of their most trusted employees. Though she is a generous and gentle touch, she's not afraid to give anyone a telling off if they break her rules. Grandma Sinny can be bossy!
  
  Although she no longer performs on stage or owns a jazz club, Sinead is still a very creative person. She's been singing and playing music since she was a child, with her interest in it never fading. When she isn't babysitting or spending time with Peter, she loves nothing more than playing her piano.

  History:
  
  Spoiler: Birth-1970

  Sinead was born and raised in Chicago. She had a good childhood, close to her parents, siblings and some of her gangster family's employees. Whilst the nature of the family business often cast shadows on the city, the family home was surprisingly happy and normal. Emmet, her father, always made a point of making sure his children grew up happy and Sinead was closest to him more than anyone else - she loved her daddy dearly. A mixture of being a daddy's girl and rejecting the family's business meant that Sinead's relationship with her mother, Shannon, was usually a strained one. Shannon was often cold towards her daughter in hopes of making her stronger and less naive, but Sinead always felt her mother simply didn't like her.
  
  The Sullivan family's ongoing personal and business feud with the powerful Italian Mafia started to directly affect Sinead in her early twenties. She had moved into her own place, found her independence and was starting her music career singing with a band in various jazz clubs. It was then that Vincenzo Romano, the boss of Chicago's Italian Mafia, dragged Sinead into the gang war. It was after a bloodied corpse had been left in her dressing room for her to find that Sinead first started to develop a phobia of blood. Following the discovery, Sinead was made to move back into her family home. During a second attack at her workplace, Sinead's life was saved by Giovanni 'Angel' Gambino - one of Vincenzo Romano's closest employees. After being fired from her job and losing her independence, Sinead felt like everything she loved was being taken from her. She found strength and support in Angel, despite him working for the enemy gang. Sinead fell in love with the man and was blinded to the chaos and suffering he was causing the rest of her family.
  
  Whilst Sinead was in love with Angel, the man was hurting those around her. Heavily disguised, he gunned down her father in front of her own eyes, a loss she still hasn't completely come to terms with. Angel left the city for a few months following the murder. Unable to cope with losing her father; Lucy disappearing for a few months; and Angel fleeing to Italy, Sinead's fragile mind finally crumbled. She spent a few months in a psychiatric hospital, which was one of the worst experiences in her life. She was eventually given the all-clear and released, with the help of her family's influence. It wasn't long after that Angel returned into her life and rekindled their romance. In a strange way for a man so messed up, he managed to help save Sinead's own mind and sanity.
  
  A few months later, Lucy and Conor discovered Sinead's relationship with Angel and she was forced to end it, always choosing her family first. At the same time, she had discovered she was pregnant with Angel's child. When Lucy and James got married in the summer, Angel attacked the ceremony and shot both the bride and groom, an attack which caused injuries to Lucy which meant she could never have her own children. The attack also took the lives of some of the Sullivans closest friends and employees.
  
  When Angel found out she was having his child, Sinead had to make a difficult decision and tell him he could not be in her life, nor their child, Savannah's. This led to him kidnapping Lucy and James, intending on killing both of them as well as himself. Sinead managed to talk sense into Angel and he let his hostages go free. However, as he emerged from the building he'd been holding them in, he fired at the cops, resulting in them opening fire and killing Angel. Around the same time as Angel's death, Peter Callahan joined the family as a bodyguard to Sinead and Savannah. Whilst she was reluctant to have a "babysitter", she soon found she had music in common with him and she had an instant attraction to him.
  
  The Sullivans' war with the Romanos ended in 1949, with James killing the boss, Vincenzo Romano, and the Russians putting an end to the man's brother, Salvatore Romano. From 1950, home was no longer Chicago and the family moved to Dublin, Ireland with her brother-in-law, James Porter, the new boss of the Irish Mob. Sinead hadn't hesitated to move to Ireland with the family and found the place to be much more peaceful than Chicago had been. Peter joined them, much to a loved-up Sinead's joy. She had learned from her past experience, so she married Peter before they went on to have a son and daughter together.
  
  During the years she lived in Dublin, Sinead opened up a Jazz Club. She started out performing in the club, but soon had other acts performing there which allowed her to secure her own music gigs at other venues across the city. In addition to following her dream and looking after her own business, she devoted her time to Peter and their children, who she had always been deeply protective over. In 1959, Peter was arrested and sent to prison for six months. Sinead didn't cope too well, shutting herself out from family as her depression set in. At her worst, she had suicidal thoughts and began starving herself. The intervention of her friends and family, as well as agreeing to go back onto medication, helped her to get through the rest of Peter's sentence.
  
  The family's war with the Irish Workers' Union seemed to intensify, with people she cared about being hurt and killed. When it finally ended, Sinead, Peter and their children moved into their own house a few neighbourhoods away from the Porters. Furthermore, she finally agreed to let the children to attend regular school. For a while, everything went by relatively smoothly, though with Peter still working for the Mob the married couple still had their share of arguments. In 1965, when the Porters decided to move their business to New York, Sinead was torn. She considered staying behind in Dublin and having a peaceful life away from gangs, but she soon changed her mind as she would always want to live in close proximity to her big family.
  
  When Peter ended up in prison again, Sinead was both distraught and angry. She feared she would end up losing her husband and that he would suffer as he had the first time he'd been in jail. That time, her children were old enough to support their mother and she felt strong enough to manage without falling apart. She busied herself with work, partly to keep herself distracted but also to make sure enough money was still coming in, being that the Callahans had long ago stopped accepting financial handouts from the Porters. Things were rough for Sinead during Peter's absence, but all she could do was keep it to herself; hiding her personal traumas beneath her usual bright smile and bubbly nature. When Peter was released from prison, things didn't improve as much she had hoped. The man was more assertive, distrusting, and far less laid back than he used to be. The married couple found themselves arguing more than they ever had in the past.
  Sinead and Peter were able to overcome their marriage difficulties, eventually getting back on track with each other. They even decided to have another baby together. When Sinead became pregnant late in 1971, she was both overjoyed and saddened. During Peter's second prison sentence, she had suffered a miscarriage which she ended up keeping secret so her husband wouldn't suffer more than he already had been in prison. However, with her becoming pregnant again, she confessed everything to him and was relieved when he showed understanding.
  
  Despite her marriage doing well, the pregnancy and her thriving business, Sinead didn't feel safe in New York. Not only had Savannah been attacked on multiple occasions, but within the space of a few months her cousin, Arlene, as well as her childhood friend, Ryan, and James' brother, Warren, were all killed by their family's enemies. The final straw for Sinead was when the Morettis burned down her jazz club, killing dozens of customers and employees in the process. Sinead came close to a breakdown and feared the stress would harm her unborn baby. Despite always wanting to live close to her family, she and Peter made the decision to leave New York for a more peaceful life back in Dublin. Leaving her family was one of the hardest decisions she had to make, but following Jackson's tragic death, it wasn't long before Conor finally decided leave the New York business behind to return to Dublin.
  
  A few months after settling back into their Dublin home, Sinead gave birth to a baby boy who she and Peter named Liam. With Peter having retired from the dangerous mob duties, she finally felt both safe and happy in her life. Still, she wanted to earn some money and do something other than stay at home. As much as she loved owning her own clubs in the past, the trauma of what happened in New York made her no longer comfortable owning a big business where she would feel responsible for so many lives. Instead, she opened up a music shop in the city and also started teaching piano to adults and children.
  
  Over the last few years, Sinead has become a grandmother twice which has made her even happier than she thought possible. As Braden lives with her, Sinead sees her granddaughter as much as she can. With the child's mother walking out on Braden, Sinead gives him as much support as possible and is never quiet about expressing her dislike for the woman who left him! With Savannah living in London, she doesn't get to see her grandson, Callum, as much as she would like. However, since her Savannah split up with the boy's father and she has been looking for work in Ireland, Sinead is hoping her daughter will move to Dublin soon. The Kings had better back off if they think they can stop little Callum from living near his Grandma!

  Personality:
  Quadir is described by peers as a Charismatic and Pragmatic with a Hardworking Entrepreneur's mind. If there is money to be made, one can bet that Quadir will find a way to put his hands into it and start having the money rolling into his pocket. When talking to potential business partners, Quadir will treat them with respect and professionalism like no other. Despite liking to butter up his business partners or colleagues, Quadir also likes to keep it real and honest, as there is no trust without either. With honesty comes bluntness and with realism comes practicality.
  
  As a person outside of business, Quadir is easygoing and relaxed. While he is not necessarily a pacifist, Quadir does not enjoy unnecessary violence or bloodshed and as a result refuses to let his anger get the better of him, granted this is not always successful depending on the circumstances that he faces. As everyone has their breaking point, Quadir also has his, which takes longer to reach then others due to his relaxed and calm persona. And while he abhors unnecessary violence, he is not above it when it comes to his Money, his Family or his Business, which in some ways makes Quadir a bit of a hypocrite although he does not entirely see it.

  History:
  Quadir DeShawn Taylor was born into a Lower Class American Family in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. His Father was a Dockworker and his Mother was a hardworking Seamstress. With his parents both working regularly in order to make end's meet and put food on the table, Quadir and his younger Brother Jarrick spent most of their time at his Grandparents' house after school. Before he started High School, the Taylor Family would move to New York City in hopes of getting their sons away from the dark underbelly of Atlanta, which the two Brothers had become privy to during the later days of Quadir's Middle School Years.
  
  Things changed for his Family and unlike their life in Atlanta, life in New York City was almost like the American Dream; rather then a small apartment, they moved into a House, each Brother got their own room and getting almost anything that money could buy. Despite being happy that things were now comfortable for his Family, Quadir couldn't help but wonder where the money came from. At the age of sixteen, he would end up finding Heroin and Marijuana in the Garage. Surprised by this revelation, Quadir went to confront his Father in private about the matter, but the latter refused to talk at every chance he got. Fed up with the secrecy, Quadir would follow his Father one night. Rather then meeting with a Customer like what Quadir was planning for, he was in fact meeting with his supplier, where he talked about upping on the narcotics supply and plans on how to lay low due to the recent crackdown from Law Enforcement officials. After the meeting, Quadir hurried home, where his Father was waiting for him in the Living Room of their home. Rather then reprimanding his Son for stalking him, his Father would offer him a chance to come with him on these deals and help him distribute the Marijuana and Heroin in exchange for forty percent of the revenue generated and to keep his mouth shut.
  
  While his days were spent studying, his nights were spent going with his Father to Drug Deals. This lifestyle would follow him into adulthood, but Heroin and Marijuana were not selling like they used to by the time Quadir completed High School and opting not to go to college. With Heroin and Marijauna going into decline, the Taylor Father and Son duo would have to find something new or they'd go back to the lives they had in Atlanta. With the onset of the Crack Epidemic, Quadir immediately seized the opportunity to get into the Cocaine Business. Sadly, before he could make any real moves, his Father would be murdered in a Drive-By Shooting orchestrated by the Columbian Cartel for his attempt to get into the Cocaine Business. Not long after, his Mother was also brutally murdered and her Body displayed in Central Park as a warning to the Taylor Brothers. Despite his attempt to keep Jarrick on the straight and narrow, as well as stepping away from the Drug Business altogether, Opportunity would soon shine upon Quadir in the form of a partnership with New York's most powerful man, Gabriel Moretti.

  Personality:
  Ava had always been a headstrong girl for as long as she could remember. Growing up as the only girl in a house full of men, she didn't really have much of a choice. Since the men in her life didn't know how to take care of a household, she became self-taught in a lot of different things. Behind her tough girl exterior, she does have the capability to be a softy, something she displays whenever she's around her nieces, nephews, and anyone who didn't have someone show them kindness. People often mistake this as a weakness but she has always proved them wrong whenever they underestimate her by some violent means. She is also very violent when she needs to be, especially during times when she is protecting someone who can't protect themselves. Without anyone telling her to she adopted the role of caretaker and protector, which may have come from being the eldest cousin and being left to raise the younger ones.
  
  There are times when Ava needs a break from the world and has a tendency to disappear from people's lives without saying anything. She doesn't do this on purpose and appreciates people who understand this about her. Now that she's married, however, she tries her best not to do this for the sake of her husband. She's very supportive of him and has been doing her best to help him meet all of his goals, cheering him on from the sidelines as he has for her. There are times when Ava requires reassurance and validation, but the only people who know that are Erik and Marcus, not wanting to be seen as weak because of it. While she doesn't believe mental issues are a sign of weakness she just felt as if there were too many people relying on her to be strong.

  History:
  Ava was raised by her Uncle Roger and the members of The Old Mavericks, a motorcycle club based in Queens, NY. When her parents died, her Uncle volunteered to raise her as his own. She was the only girl in the group, the Hendricks family famous for only giving birth to boys so it was sort of difficult raising her. While she should have been learning 'girly' things, she was learning how to tune up motorcycles and evade cops. By the age of 10, she was able to tell what was wrong with a motorcycle based off of sound alone. If she were being honest, girly things never seemed to interest her to begin with so she was never upset about not receiving dolls for Christmas. She was treated like the family Princess, though the only person who was allowed to call her such was her Uncle.
  
  Ava was 8 years old when Roger brought Erik home alone. Erik's mother had abandoned both son and father, leaving Ava to raise him. Because she knew how stressful the life was, even at 8, Ava offered to take care of Erik for him. She was always offering to ease someone else's stress because she felt she owed him. Had he not taken her in she would have ended up in an orphanage, so she thought this was the least she could do. The two of them had formed a close bond, so close that Ava knew he was different even before he started to admit it to himself. Since the world was often unforgiving and horrible, she made sure he kept the kind of information to himself until she was old enough to take him away from all the negativity.
  
  Her life was pretty normal, despite raising herself and another child at 8. It was full of thrills, running from cops, breaking the law; basic outlaw type stuff. When she was 24 she opened her own underground bar that did tattoos in a secret room. At the time, tattoos were very much illegal but they were the staple of the motorcycle club community and she had several of her own. No one else wanted to break the law and give them out, so Ava took it upon herself to do them. She had been an artist since before she could remember so she figured, why not do art on people too? She had become very well-known in her community as not just Roger Hendricks' niece but as her own kind of rebel. When the club disbanded and the clubhouse torn down, Ava's bar became something of the new clubhouse, though a new chapter and club would not be created. She re-named the place Mavericks in their honor.
  
  When Ava started dating Marcus, everyone was afraid for her because he was a Moretti. If she were being quite honest she wasn't worried about who he was or that his father basically owned all of New York. What she was worried about was if he would be able to keep up with her or not and if she were even capable of keeping the relationship going. Luckily it had, seeing as they had been together for five years now. She adores her husbands family, though there are times where she feels out of place because her own upbringing wasn't as traditional. Marcus tends to give her the reassurance she needs, but sometimes she doesn't believe it.

  Personality:
  Erik can often be seen as the poster child for chaotic energy. There are rarely times when he's being serious, the attitude making him quite uncomfortable. He really just wants to have laughs and go out, but because he's an adult he understands he can't do that all the time. While he prefers not being put on serious jobs and tasks, when he is he does the job he's supposed to do with no fuss. He may joke during, but at the end of the day he gets it done. Some may see him as aloof, which he definitely is, but he's also smart; he just doesn't like to have to use his brain if it isn't for something he deems fun. He has slight abandonment issues, often trying not to get close to anyone and is more of an independent person.
  
  There are times when Erik can be a bit of dick, often speaking his mind with zero filter over his mouth. It has gotten him in trouble more often than not, Ava having to rescue him in the past because of it. He will call people out if they are bullshitting him or themselves with the intention of getting them to be truthful. He's been told many times before that he should mind his business, but he just can't help himself. When it comes to his romantic life, Erik is nothing but a tease. Even though he's gay, he has a tendency of messing with women in having them think he would ever actually be with them. He's been berated for this by his cousin on multiple occasions, but Erik can't find it within himself to care. He has a 'don't ask, won't tell' policy when it comes to his sexuality, meaning if someone doesn't ask him if he's gay he won't say anything about it. It's not that he's ashamed of it, but he doesn't want to deal with people and their negativity.

  History:
  The only real parental figure Erik had in his life growing up was Ava. Even though the girl was only 8, she was the one taking care of him and making sure he was okay. The two of them are very close and even if she may deny it, Ava was more his mother than anyone else. His life was much like hers in which they had grown up to be very rebellious. Erik was taught a lot of the trade-in terms of business and motorcycles but none of it was of any interest to him. It was definitely the cause of many fistfights and arguments, but he wasn't going to fold. While he didn't-- and still doesn't -- know what he wanted to do with his life, he knew for sure being the next President was not one of them. Roger had always compared him to Ava, which didn't affect their relationship in the slightest as he often agreed she should take over. Because she was a woman he knew it wasn't possible but often argued that they needed to change that stupid rule anyway.

  When Erik entered high school he began to realize something was different about him compared to other guys his age. Girls would give him the attention that other guys wish they had but none of it was really his speed. He would date them, go out to nightclubs, but when it came to actually being attracted to them it was a miss. For the longest he thought something was wrong with him, confiding in Ava about it until she helped him realize there was nothing wrong with him. For his own safety, she recommended he wait until he graduated and not tell anyone about it. It wasn't because she was ashamed of him but because she wanted to protect him from the bigotry in the world.
  
  Once he did graduate, he still hadn't told anyone about his sexuality. He had since decided that no one would get to know who he was if he didn't allow it. The next five years of his life he spent going on adventures and helping Ava out with her business. He had no real job prospects or goals he wanted to attain in life, which worried Ava. Once she started dating Marcus, Erik found himself in bed with Moretti business more and more no doubt something Ava asked her boyfriend to do.

  -Having his picture taken or being recorded (Especially if it is without his consent)
  
  Personality:
  In Contrast of his Older Brother Quadir, J.T is hot-tempered and prefers to take the more violent approach when it comes to most of his problems. The type to shoot first and ask questions second, J.T is described by peers as impulsive and angry. Not much of a people person either like Q as it does not take a lot for him to get angry regardless of the circumstances. But with age comes wisdom, or so people say. As he got older, J.T started cooling down more and more as he came to recognize that his anger and impulsive behavior makes life harder for him and Q. While he has a better grip on his temper, he has yet to overcome the 'Shoot First, Talk Later' mantra that has been a part of his life for so long.
  
  In spite of being a hot-head, J.T is more then just a bloodthirsty killer constantly looking for his next target. Rather then just going in for the kill, or spraying bullets off the get-go like what he is known to do, J.T often keeps an eye out and watches his target, waiting for the right time to open fire. In addition, he pays attention to his surroundings to see how and where he will have the upper hand. In the Criminal Underworld, if one gets too sloppy, it'll either be jail time or death, which gives J.T more incentive to plan things out carefully, rather then just planning as he goes...or 'winging it'.
  
  Although he retains one of the more violent streaks compared to his Colleagues in the Moretti Family, J.T is leery of Police Officers getting caught in his crosshairs, as it is a long and hard rule within the mafia that Law Enforcement officials are not to be harmed, which often conflicts with his anger towards Law Enforcement when it comes to the bad blood and history between them and his Community. Another thing he is weary of is children being harmed, as they are young, innocent and none-the-wiser to the world around them, and therefore should not be treated with cruelty.

  History:
  Jarrick Taylor, better known by his nickname J.T, was born in Atlanta, Georgia to a Dockworker and a Seamstress as their youngest son, having one older Brother, Quadir. Since his parents weren't always around while he was growing up, he grew close to Q and their grandparents since he would be going to their house after school. Unlike Q, however, Jarrick wasn't exactly the most well-behaved nor was he charismatic like his Brother, but instead was prone to getting in trouble, mainly getting into fights which would result in him getting suspended on numerous occasions. One particular fight got Jarrick expelled from his Middle School, as his Parents and Brother were told that he stabbed another student with a Pen, brutally beat him up and threatened to burn his house down with a Molotov Cocktail, which he claimed he knew how to make. The other student's parents agreed to drop the charges that they wanted to press on Jarrick on the condition that the family transfers Jarrick to another school. Instead, to avoid any further trouble, the Taylor Family opted to move to New York.
  
  Life would change for Jarrick in New York City. Not used to a higher lifestyle, he was genuinely surprised when his Family moved into a house instead of an Apartment. Unlike Q, he didn't exactly question where their Father got the money to enter this new lifestyle and instead attempted to focus on his Academics and staying out of trouble. When high school rolled around for him, J.T would end up learning about his Father's secret life as a Drug Dealer, but had no interest in taking part...at first. Eventually, J.T would get swept-up in his Father's secret life, tagging along with his Father and Brother on Drug Deals and Resupply Trips. Since he was more of a Bodyguard then a Dealer, his Father started giving him ten percent of the earnings so that the younger Taylor could have some money in his pocket.
  
  Shortly after he completed high school, J.T planned to use his savings for College and hoped to attend the University of New York. This plan however, would be scrapped after his Father was executed by the Medellin Cartel after attempting to get a foothold on the Cocaine Business during the early days of the Crack Epidemic. After his Mother was brutally murdered not long after, J.T ended up following his Brother when the two caught the attention of the most powerful man in New York, Gabriel Moretti. At first, J.T was reluctant to work with him, while Q was quick to propose a partnership since Moretti himself was already in the Cocaine Business. In exchange for protection on all fronts, the Taylor Brothers would distribute his product onto the streets to maintain the tight grip that Moretti Family had on New York. While Quadir looked to be successful in the Cocaine Business, there is only one thing that J.T wants; Revenge on the Medellin Cartel for the murder of his parents.

  Personality:
  Shirley is a Gentle, Sweet and Loving young woman who wishes only the best for those around her, especially her loved ones. Underneath a Sullen and Timid exterior belies a Gentle heart. In contrast of her Older Sister, who is hot-tempered and quick to anger, Shirley is more level-headed and doesn't like letting her anger get the better of her as she does not find life to be very enjoyable when it is plagued with anger or hatred, something that her Sister has yet to learn. With that in mind, Shirley does not particularly enjoy the violence that her Sister gets swept up in and disapproves of what she does for a living as well as her gang affiliation, which makes her worry more then she should.
  
  Underneath her Gentle and Sweet Persona, is a Timid and Sullen young woman, who has gone through several years of hardship and endured by putting up a strong front. From her parents leaving Ireland to return to South Korea to constantly worrying for her Sister's safety, her emotional resolve took several strong hits over the years. Over time, it slowly deteriorated and now Shirley finds herself exhausted and wanting to get away from everything. But things always get worse before they get better.

  History:
  Shirley Haneul Kwon was born in Dublin, Ireland to South Korean immigrants that had recently left Asia in hopes of starting a new and better life in the West. Her Father is a former Soldier who served in the South Korean Army during the Korean War and her Mother was a Nurse for the South Korean Navy. Shirley also has an older Twin Sister, Stella. Between the two, Shirley tended to be the more well-behaved, just focusing on her academics and spending time with her Mother, who had become a Stay-at Home Mom and a Housewife to raise the twins while their Father found work as a Bartender. Once the twins were in High School, their Mother returned to work as a Nurse, this time outside of the Military.
  
  Growing up, the girls had fairly comfortable and quiet lives, which Shirley was pretty content with since their Father was not the type to get into trouble. Once the girls entered adulthood at the ripe age of Eighteen, their parents decided that they wanted to return home to South Korea. Not wanting to go to a place they weren't familiar with, the girls both decided to stay in Dublin. Shortly after their parents' departure however, Stella struggled to find work to support herself and her Sister, since neither of them had any real job experience and just graduated High School. Stella had reached a point of desperation. It wasn't long until Shirley noticed that her Sister was coming home later, or would be away for days at a time, even worse there were times that her sister came home with cuts and bruises, but would refuse to say how she got them, or what she was up to, but it did put food on the table. To help with her sister's injuries, Shirley would buy books on Medical Care and Medicine to learn how to treat certain wounds.
  
  Eventually, Stella came home with gunshot wounds and Shirley would demand to know what she was doing that had her come home roughed up...and now shot. After an argument, Stella confessed that she was doing work with the Irish Mob, leaving Shirley appalled and angry. Midway through the argument, Shirley let it slip that she was pregnant, surprising Stella. Horrified by what her Sister was becoming, Shirley packed her bags and proceeded to leave Ireland immediately, migrating to London. Shortly after her Migration, Shirley would be surprised to learn that she is expecting twins.
  
  Now living alone in London, a scared Shirley awaits the arrival of her unborn children and preparing to be a Single Mother.

• 
  
  History:
  Stella was born in Dublin, Ireland during the early 1960s to South Korean immigrants who have migrated to Ireland to get away from a war-torn Korea and has one younger Twin Sister, Shirley. In contrast of the more well-behaved and scholarly Shirley, Stella was more of the free-spirited troublemaker between the two. During their school days, Stella was often reprimanded by school supervisors or teachers for fighting, even when in reality, she was protecting her sister from bullies, or fighting back against them herself. High School was no different as Stella was eventually expelled when a teacher was caught in the middle of one of her fights. Without school, Stella ended up trying to find a way to support her Family and it wasn't long until she got swept in the affairs of Dublin's Criminal Underworld behind her Family's back, particularly in underground fighting.
  
  Starting at seventeen, Stella used her fighting skills to take part in underground fighting. Because of her gender, she faced quite a bit of discrimination, which didn't help her at all as not only was she a woman, but she was not even of Irish Descent on either side of her family. As a result, she had to work twice as hard. Because she willingly chose to take on more difficult adversaries, it wasn't long until she started coming home with cuts and bruises, her clothing stained with blood. While this left Shirley a little horrified, she didn't entirely argue because it covered their daily needs, from putting food on the table to keeping a roof over their heads.
  
  While Shirley had gotten used to the bruises and cuts that her Older Sister came home with, it wasn't long until Stella started coming home with Gunshot wounds. Appalled, this would push Shirley over the edge a bit, even more so when she found a gun sitting on Stella's Dresser and eventually she learned that her Sister was in league with the Irish Mob. With several lines crossed, the two Sisters would get into an argument, during which Shirley would slip the fact that she is pregnant, before abruptly leaving their home.

  History:
  Shona was one among thousands who grew up in the slums of London’s East End. Imprisoned by poverty and a culture of normalised crime and domestic abuse, she never really believed she would amount to much. Her father was a builder with a mean and misogynistic attitude; her mother a seamstress with a wise, spiritual mind. Shona learned how to stand up for herself from watching the way her mother responded to her father’s abuse, but it didn’t make it any easier to live with him. It didn’t make the hits any less painful, nor watching him beat her mother. What made it even harder was that he also had a sweet and loving side that Shona couldn’t help but believe in - every day she would hope for him to be in a good mood, and the ex After one particularly bad day, the man snapped and broke her sister Nadine’s arm when she was just six years old. Absolutely horrified, her mother summoned the police. It was usually Shona who called them, and the result was always the same: either they dismissed her for being too young, or one of her parents would deny the claim when they arrived. This time, her mother wasn’t going to back down. Yet, the police still didn’t take her seriously, themselves too desensitised to domestic violence to see it as worthy of their time. The only reason they ended up arresting the man was because he got aggressive and put his hands on one of the officers. Suffice to say, Shona has never trusted the authorities since.
  
  With the man in jail, her mother moved the three of them into her mother’s house, when Shona was eleven and Nadine was six. While the change in environment made a positive impact on her life, she was still damaged by her father’s toxic behaviour and as she grew older, she ended up developing a trend of dating abusive older men. The household broke apart towards the end of Shona’s adolescence when her grandmother passed away and her mother was put in a nursing home with early onset dementia.
  
  Now knowing that her mother is safe and no longer plagued by memories of the man she ran from, Shona has largely forgiven her father for the way he was and moved on. Nadine always thought her foolish for running into the arms of violent men, having noticed a pattern in her choice of partner, but an ordinary, stable man could never hold Shona's interest for long. She preferred somebody rough, not just around the edges but right down to the core - somebody streetwise like herself, who wasn’t afraid to stand up against injustice. After a string of toxic, abusive boyfriends, Shona finally met Spencer King. At that time, she was trying to get herself away from a violent and possessive boyfriend, Jerome, who refused to let her break up with him without putting up a fight. He would stalk her, break into her house, even harass her friends. Spencer was just a stranger in a pub, but when he defended her from Jerome, she found herself instantly taken by him.
  
  That night, she ended up going home with Spencer. Nadine thought her foolish for getting involved with a mobster, but Shona reasoned that their father would never have stepped in to save her. That was just the start of what separated Spencer from all the previous men in her life. Within just a couple of months the pair were engaged, and when Shona found out she was pregnant, the marriage was moved ahead. Their relationship has moved fast, but Shona has so far been enjoying her new life with Spencer and the baby she has been carrying for six months.

  History:
  Elena was born and raised in the heart of Havana, Cuba, by her mother and grandparents. As was the norm in her neighbourhood, the family struggled for money - jobs were hard to hold down and didn’t bring a lot to the table. Her mother, Isabella, was a dominating presence in the family; she took it upon herself to keep the family on the right track, which meant exerting control over every aspect of their lives. Elena wasn’t blind to the struggle that they faced and so always looked up to her for the strength she showed in the face of adversity. She tried to do what her mother wanted for her: the right friends, the right grades, the right goals. She never met her father, but Isabella extinguished her curiosity about him by convincing her that he wasn’t worth it. Just a bad man who didn’t care about his daughter enough to stick around or even help out financially. Elena also had a younger half-brother, Benito, but his father had never stuck around either and Elena herself was too young to remember him.
  
  Her relationship with her mother started to go downhill when she turned 13 and Isabella got married. Even though she knew it was likely a money-driven decision, it still felt like a betrayal. The man was cold, cruel, and ignored Elena and Benito in favour of his own two children that he had brought from a previous relationship. Five years or so later, when Benito was 16, a man turned up on their doorstep looking for Isabella. The nature of his visit wasn’t any concern of Elena’s until it turned out that the man was Benito's father. It was news to everybody besides Isabella. The man had never abandoned his son - he never even knew he existed. Suddenly there was a brand new perspective, one that challenged every bad word that Isabella had ever spoken about him. Benito felt totally betrayed and left home as soon as he could, unable to trust their mother’s manipulative character.
  
  Elena was partway through a course in nursing - her mother’s ambition for her, of course - but her trust had been damaged, and started to wonder about her own father again. She couldn’t trust her mother to answer her questions honestly so instead she looked elsewhere - it was a long trail, starting at the bar her mother used to work at 18 years ago. Her attendance and grades dropped as her focus shifted from completing her mother’s dream for her to discovering the truth that had been kept from her. It was a long journey, starting at the bar that Isabella had been working at when she got pregnant with Elena. She had to be as daring and stubborn as her mother to assert herself over so many strangers - they became increasingly intimidating as she went on, men with reputations and a rough exterior, or with no ability to speak Spanish. But the closer she got, the more determined she became.
  
  She soon found herself mixing with mobsters, and had to start lending herself to their illegal activity in exchange for either information or money. Her perseverance brought her to New York City, by now having committed to abandoning her mother, and finally, in February of 1985, she managed to buy herself a one-way plane ticket to Dublin. No job, no prospects, no place to live, no friends - she could only imagine what her mother would do to her if she knew what she was up to. But Elena still had the spirit of adventure driving her onward, and the name Adam Harper engraved on her heart.

  History:
  Patience grew up in a strict, greatly devout Catholic household, once which led even her mother's side of the family to practically avoid them. Almost every aspects of her life involved religion in some form, but it was all she ever knew so she never resented it. All of her family's friends were Catholics, as were her own friends too. Growing up under a warm roof, having enough toys and a good education, Patience was grateful for the childhood she had. It was rare the girl misbehaved, but when she did, she was lectured and told to pray for forgiveness. Having been taught to love God and the Bible, it upset her to be told she had sinned, so she became even less likely to break the rules as time went on.
  
  Although she attended a Catholic high school, Patience found she was one of the isolated students as her peers considered her to be weird. She let the whisperings and mocking nicknames go over her head, knowing her path was the righteous one. Not only was she deeply committed to her faith, but she would never have been permitted to attend parties or sleep over at others' houses even if she wanted to. Admittedly, there were times she let her barriers down and felt like she was missing out on what other kids around her enjoyed doing. She shut away such feelings, reminding herself that it was wrong to allow herself to feel envy. Patience had friends in her family's church community and she knew she was blessed to have them.
  
  Patience had volunteered at the church since she was 14, when Abram Healey was the priest. She always loved tending to the garden and helping prepare for church services. She met lots of people and became friends with many of those who regularly attended. Once she was 18, she began working full-time at the church and was there when Abram retired for his son to take his place. Over the years, Patience has continued to work for SIlas at the church and feels like she has got to know him in that time. She trusts him and considers him to be a friend, not just her superior.
  
  As she's got older, Patience has become more aware of the corruption and violence in Dublin. She will often say a prayer for those responsible, hoping they will turn away from darkness, but deep down she fears it's too late for them. She at least hopes their children can take a different path and embrace good over evil.

  Try and tell Aoife that she doesn't have the ability to accomplish either a given task or something that she has set her eyes on, and there'll be hell to pay. For too log she's been told by her superiors what she can and can't do, and she's not willing to take this behaviour from anyone, once she has her teeth sunk into something she won't let go. She's also one to pry at people, asking questions that aren't always the most comfortable, generally quite probing in nature, her inquisative nature often getting her into trouble. Thankfully her silver tongue is equally adept at getting her out of it.
  
  
• 
  
  History:
  
  The daughter of a chemist and a secondary school English teacher in Limerick, what Aoife was able to enjoy was a somewhat boring, but quite tolerant household. Unlike her cousin and their immediate family who spent their time bent over double under the weight of crushing dogmatic faith, the Walsh family were relatively relaxed in their faith. They attended Church on sunday with most of the general population, but theirs was more of a cultural Catholicism as opposed to dogmatic worship. This breach from the norm often raised a few eyebrows around town, and it goes someway to explaining Aoife's wilder streak, far more willing to buck the norm. There was misbehaving as a child, and a particularly wild few years of adolescence, but everytime she returned home, and to her parent's forgiveness, safe in the knowledge that they had raised their daughter well enough that she would get back on the right path.
  
  Leaving school with high grades almost across the board (aside from science much to her mother's frustration), Aoife ended up attending University College Dublin gaining a spot on their Journalist programme. It was here that she found her niche, ending up running the university paper by her final year. Limited though it was, it was the medium she needed to launch herself on stories which for students at least were hard hitting, Academic scandals and corruption, a particular high point for her being the termination of one professor's tenure due to certain unethical working practices. Obviously this didn't exactly win her friends across the board, and she decided it would be best not to waste her time applying to further her education at UCD, having made a few foes in the old boy's committee running the University. Instead she decided to leave Ireland behind, and spent a year studying in Florence, falling in love with everything Italian, the language, the food, the people and especially the weather. By the end of her year there she was fluent in Italian, and walked away with a Masters in Journalism to add to her formal accomplishments. However as much as she loved her time in Italy, the Emerald Isle was calling her back.
  
  Upon her return she quickly managed to get a job at 'The Irish Independent' based in Dublin, her first job as a legitimate print journalist, and at the age of 23, the world was her oyster. Or so she thought. Whilst she hadn't exactly been expecting the chance to start with the juiciest stories, it soon became apparent that as a woman her path was set out for her. And that lay in the gossip column and twee human interest stories. To say this was a disappointment doesn't quite go far enough, for 4 years Aoife slogged on, desperately trying to climb her way out of the gossip and life segments, desperately pushing for the hard hitting stories she knew she was capable of running with. It was the 9th rejection from being moved onto the Politics desk that was the final nail in the coffin. Aoife handed in her notice, and was left with 4 years of experience at a job that she had ended up despising, in a career that she was desperate to make legitimate headway in, but every newspaper she turned up to simply resulted in an offer of exactly the sort of job she was trying to avoid. Whilst she would be welcomed back by her parents she knew that Dublin was the place that she had to be, it was here that opportunities would be. In order to make ends meet and continue to pay the rent on her single bed flat, she took up a job at 'The Sullivan's Pub'. She'd heard a fair few things about the owners of the establishment, the place itself may not be rough, but there were certain stories about those running the place.

  History:
  James was born in Austin, Texas into a Military Family as the Eldest of six, having three Brothers and two Sisters. His Father was enlisted in the United States Army as an Infantryman while his Mother worked as a Bar Maid at the Family Bar that has been owned by the James Family for generations, dating back to 1910. For most of his childhood, James spent much time around his Grandparents as his Mother often had to work long nightshifts to make end's meet while his Father was constantly on deployments overseas in Asia. To cope with the loneliness and eventually getting tired of being stuck at his Grandparents house and with encouragement from his Grandfather, James would try out for sports starting in the 4th Grade, going into Football in the Fall, Basketball in the Winter and Soccer in the Spring. These sports would follow James into his High School years, granted he would trade Basketball for Wrestling, while keeping both Football and Soccer. To help stay in shape, James started spending his weekends going to the gym and never missed a single day of practice. In 1964, his Father decided not to reenlist after spending twenty years in the military and soon joined his Mother in running the family bar, hiring a few trusted employees so that he could go to his Eldest Son's Sports Games.
  
  In 1968, James would carry on the family tradition and enlisted into the Navy after graduating High School. The following year, James would be handpicked to become a part of the United States Navy SEALs, where his natural marksmanship impressed his commanding officers. By the time his training was complete during the first quarter of 1970, he would immediately be sent to Sniper School, where he graduate top of his class before being deployed to Vietnam, where he would spend his first five years as a SEAL in the final years of the Vietnam War. Following the Vietnam War, James would see a deployment to Lebanon at the beginning of the '81-'82 and later Grenada in '83.
  
  James would then see his exit '84, where he decided not to reenlist. Hoping for a change of scenery in Texas, he would try to start a life in New York City. Unfortunately, James would get off on the wrong foot in the new city and get mixed in with the wrong crowd. Ending up as a scapegoat for a robbery that went awry, James would end up being sentenced to fifteen years at Riker's Island.

  Personality:
  Once a gentle and easygoing young woman, Shinoa has become into an overly cautious, insecure and withdrawn individual due to having to grow up with a rather unloving and divided family, which became more and more apparent after she got pregnant. As a result of her Mother's harsh treatment and abusive behavior in particular, Shinoa found a loss in confidence and becoming more clingy, often needing reassurance that she is well-loved and good enough. Due to the loss in confidence, Shinoa is very much worried and anxious about not only being a Mother, but a good Mother and turning out like the woman who raised her.
  
  Notable Traits: +Gentle +Mature +Patient +Empathetic -Insecure -Withdrawn -Clingy -Anxious

  History:
  Shinoa was born in Portland, Oregon, but raised by her Mother in Seattle, Washington. Her parents divorced when she was still very young. While she spends most of the year with her Mother, she got to spend her spring and summer breaks with her Father while also alternating Thanksgiving and Christmas. As her parents lived in separate states, it was difficult for her to spend time with her cousins and father's side of the family, which Shinoa hated as she was close to them, more so then her Mom's side of the family because she was often treated like an unwanted black sheep. Due to the fact that she doesn't often get along with people on her Mom's side of the family, Shinoa ended up choosing to spend more time away from family gatherings and birthdays to spend time with friends. Her Mother did almost nothing about it, as Shinoa was 'old enough to make her own decisions'. While Shinoa enjoyed her freedom, she did not like being unloved. The worst part was that people in her Mom's side often played favorites over which child they praised more. This created much resentment in Shinoa's heart because half of her cousins, along with her, were overshadowed and often overlooked as a result of the favoritism at play.
  
  At the beginning of her Junior Year of High School, Shinoa snuck out to go to a late night party with her friends. Unfortunately, the following morning, she felt sick, but still managed to attend school so that her Mother would not get suspicious. A few nights later, one of her friends called her and said that she found holes in one of the used condoms while taking out the trash. Mortified, Shinoa secretly took two pregnancy tests...Both of them came back positive, much to her dismay. Now she had to decide on when to tell her Mother; sooner or later, before or when that baby bump becomes obvious? Shinoa ended up throwing both pregnancy tests away and kept it to herself, only allowing her closest friends to know. Unfortunately, the strange food cravings and noticeable weight gain prompted suspicions from her classmates and teachers. By this time, her Mother found the pregnancy tests while cleaning up around the house and confronted her. A massive argument ensued, as her Mother wanted to terminate the pregnancy, while Shinoa wanted to carry it to term. Life became unreasonably stressful as there were often days that her Mother gave her the cold shoulder, and if they did talk, it would turn into a two-sided screaming match about the pregnancy. The eroding relationship went as far as her Mother refusing to take her to her Doctor's Appointments, prompting her cousins to step in as some of them found that her Mother was being unreasonable.
  
  The relationship continued to get worse and eventually Shinoa found herself packing her bags and leaving the house as her Mother kicked her out without telling her Father. Both very pregnant and alone in a new country, Shinoa prepares to rebuild her shattered life and find a way to establish contact with her Father, who is likely terrified and worried to death...all while she prepares for the impending birth of her first child.

  Before his time in captivity, Thomas was a fun-loving and excited boy who was afraid to show a little bit of emotion now and then. However, after he returned back from Iran, he was a completely different person.
  
  Thomas is more on the reserved side now, not really wanting to express how he feels about what happened to him and what has happened to his family in the past. With his family -- more specifically his mother -- Thomas doesn't allow himself to get as close to her as he had once been before, her constant coddling is irritating to him and her worrying about him only makes him feel guilty, not feeling deserving of her love and worries, especially since they fell out before he left. With his siblings, Thomas feels close with them but again he keeps them at a distance when it comes to his emotions. Despite his trauma, Thomas can still channel that fun-loving side he once knew if only for a little while.

  History:
  Thomas Wayne Porter was born May 27th, 1960 to James and Lucy Porter in Dublin, Ireland towards the end of a gang war with the IWU. Having been exposed to the dangers of the mob since birth, he was never really shellshocked by the violence going on around him. Thomas was the youngest of three other siblings and despite having been close with his two sisters in the beginning, when they left to live their own lives outside of the gang, Thomas grew farther apart from them and although the connection between him and his eldest brother Syd never deteriorated, there was a long time where his brother and he didn't get the chance to bond as they should have. Thomas didn't remember much of his life in Dublin but he has very fond memories of growing up in New York, the peace that was brought to the family during those first 6 years. Surrounded by family, Thomas never felt lonely although at times he did miss his parents who were both busy with their careers.
  
  When he was 11 years old, the mob war with the Moretti's had started, he wasn't as exposed as the rest of his family had been to the violence the Italians let loose on the family but that didn't mean he wasn't sensitive to what was going on. It was when Arlene Sullivan and Warren Taylor, two very close people to him died --he learned that he shouldn't take his life for granted or the life of his family's. With so much attention being placed on others around him, his brother Syd especially, Thomas didn't want to trouble his parents with the things that started to worry him, the anxieties that started to plague him. Thomas was a boy who always wanted to be helpful, was always happy-go-lucky and a skill he unknowingly picked from his mother was how to wear a mask.
  
  [ADD INFO ABOUT TIME IN DUBLIN]
  
  Despite Thomas and Lucy having a very close relationship, Thomas soon felt that his mother was coddling him too much. His lack of interest in the mob was reassuring to the woman but Thomas always wanted to do something more than that, always wanted to help people where they needed it most. Much to the woman's dismay, as soon as they were back in the States, Thomas enlisted to be a Marine as soon as he turned 18. It was during that time that he had a falling out with his mother, she was not supportive of his decision to join the military but it was something that he felt like he had to do, something that he deep down always wanted to do. After basic training, there wasn't really any war to be fought however, his superior had come to him with an opportunity to be a security guard for the U-S Embassy in Iran and without hesitation, Thomas agreed to do the training for it.
  
  Early in 1979, Thomas was flown over to the U-S Embassy where growing tensions between Iran and the U-S were getting stronger. There had been multiple attempted attacks against the Embassy by protestors however, each one failed. It was on November 4th, 1979, when Iranian students broke through the chained gates of the Embassy that things got heated. A gunfight had broken out, however, due to the large size of the crowd and limited number of Marines, Thomas and his lot were overpowered easily and himself along with at least 51 others were taken as hostages.
  
  For 444 days, they were held in various places in the country from 1979 to 1981. At first, they were treated well enough, however as time went on, conditions got worse. Thomas remembers being beaten, tortured, and constant threats being thrown at him that he would be killed if he didn't obey. At one point after spending 3 months in solitary confinement, he had tried to take his own life.
  
  In January 1981, Thomas and the other hostages were released and sent back to America. Thomas had returned home after that experience a different man than he had been before he had left. Currently, he is still living with Lucy and Olivia but often goes to Dublin when he feels he's able to. Thanks to the VA, Thomas is seeing a few specialists who are helping him deal with PTSD from being held hostage for so long and even has a service dog named Lucky.

  Personality:
  Brady as he's nicknamed by his friends, was a sweet kid up until he hit his teens. Once he became broody, it seemed to just stick. That doesn't mean the young man is just broody, but it is a whole part of who he is as a person. Brady is also...very complex. He feels misunderstood by a family who probably would understand him better than anyone. His intelligence is hard to contain and he just isn't sure what to do with it at times. Lost would be a word to describe him, destined to be so after years and years of being exposed to the war on his family. Even when things were still, Brady still felt like he had to put up a fight and still does to this day. As much as he loves his family, affection is something that he doesn't openly welcome..tending to put up walls instead of letting them fall down. However, after his daughter was born, Brady had to learn how to be softer. He had to reach out to his mother for help which is something he never liked to do before. His daughter brings out the sweet side of him which had been pretty guarded even before his girlfriend left him with his child. Parenting has shaped him to be more honest and open with his family about things at least sometimes.

  History:
  Brady's start in life was pretty normal, at the beginning of it all. In the first part of his life, Braden was hardly touched by the downfalls of the mob, his mother and father doing their very best to keep himself and his sisters from being exposed to such violence, he had a really normal life up until the point that his father was sent to prison. The first time Peter was sent to prison, Brady had thought he was the coolest man in the world, despite what his mother wanted him to believe. His old man put up a fight and prison and returned home to them a changed man. Before Peter went to prison for the second time, Brady and his father had grown closer than he could have ever thought. The man taught him everything he knew about the mob and how to defend himself in a fight. Though Peter thought he wasn't much of a fighter himself, Brady credits him for making him the young man he is today, along with his mothers smothering of course. Once they moved from Ireland to New York, Brady started to get into trouble. Around the age of 16 was when he met the Young Barons, having aided one of the younger members in a robbery attempt, they saw his potential and decided to start him at the very bottom of the ranks.
  
  Brady spent years working his way up through the ranks of the Barons, all the while trying to keep his activity away from his parent's noses. In 1971, he was finally made second in command to Hal, a position he had his eye on since he started. With a firm control with the Barons and his activity with his own family, Brady was kept busy, just the way he liked it. The war between the Morettis and the Porters/Sullivans was intense and in 1972 when his father decided to retire and his parents decided to move back to Ireland, Braden knew he couldn't go with them. As much as he wanted to follow his family, he knew that his sister, Savannah needed protection and Braden was willing to do that for her. He was intent on keeping his position with the Barons until his leader made a deal with Gabriel himself. Wanting nothing to do with the man who pushed his family out of New York, Braden decided to leave the gang life for good in New York. His sister left New York to go to London but Braden couldn't find himself able to leave the Big Apple. So he decided to get a job as a bartender near downtown and with the help of his family, he was able to keep the apartment he had been living in with Savannah before she moved.
  
  Fast forward to 1978, Braden had been work the same job for 5 years and nothing seemed like it was going to change for him up until he met Abigail, a woman who had just moved to the city from a small town in Georgia. Braden and Abi hit it off right away and before he knew it she was staying at his place every night. Shortly after they met, Abigail became pregnant with his daughter Hattie and although Braden was shocked, he was honestly surprised to have this new little family. Everything seemed fine to Braden with Abigail, with them turning the second bedroom in Braden's apartment into a nursery for their daughter, they both seemed excited to become parents. Hattie Callahan was born in the early morning hours of April 1st, 1979 and Braden was overjoyed that he could finally hold his baby girl in his arms. The first few days went on as normal, they brought the baby home and everything was fine. Braden went to work on the night of April 4th and returned in the early hours of April 5th to find Hattie sleeping in her crib with Abigail nowhere to be seen, however, all her bags and clothes were gone. Heartbroken, Braden was beside himself that she would leave him and their baby behind. After a few weeks of waiting for her to return, Braden knew that she wasn't coming home and so he decided to finally call his parents to tell them that he needed their help.
  
  At the end of 1979, he moved back to Dublin to live with his parents again. It was embarrassing but he needed help with his daughter while he looked for work, not wanting to accept any money from his family and instead of wanting to make his own way. After being unable to find a job in Dublin, Braden decided it was time to finally join the family business, despite his mother very much objecting to it. With the help of his mother, Braden has been able to raise his daughter in a loving home with everything she could possibly ever want. She is just now at the age where she is starting to ask where her mother went but Braden doesn't have the heart to tell her that she abandoned them both...so instead just tells her that she's dead (like that's any better) because, in his eyes, any woman who leaves her child is exactly that in his eyes. Despite having enough money to move out, he has grown rather attached to being with his parents again and he knows that suddenly moving out of his parents' house would really confuse and probably upset his daughter, so for now, they are currently living in the Callahan home, occupying two of the many rooms.

  Personality:
  Blake is a steam roller who just keeps on going regardless of her own troubles. She is a determined woman who likes to see things through to the end. She can be serious when conducting business but Blake is very much a people person and enjoys surrounding herself with people she likes. Blake can be your best friend or your worse enemy at the end of the day. She keeps her friends close, but her enemies closer and tend to not get caught up in feelings on the job or about a hit. She is charming and excellent at working any room in her favor, her sunny disposition and smooth voice make a lot of people feeling comfortable around her. Blake doesn't like to be wrong, but when she is, she will quietly admit it to whoever it is that was right (Well depending on the person) Blake gets excited about a lot of things, much like a child seeing things for the first time would. Blake loves to tell a good joke and laugh a lot. Sarcasm tends to be something she jumps to when she's upset or sad or anxious, using it as a mechanism to cope with things. In years since losing her husband, she's toned back her cheery disposition and isn't as fun-loving as she used to be, missing her other half every single waking moment. She tries to be uplifting for her children, knowing that they need her to be. Having to be both the mother and father figure, she is both firm and sensitive which can be confusing for her children at times.

  History:
  Blake McCarthy (formerly Walsh) was born to Aiden and McKenna Walsh in a little apartment in the city of Dublin in 1931. The small family wasn't wealthy but just above the poverty line, just getting by with the money they had. Aiden and Mckenna were both factory workers trying to make their lives better. Blake grew up not seeing her parents often, but the time she did get with them she cherished dearly.
  
  In 1950, her father suffered a fatal heart attack while at work and died, leaving the two women in the house to fend for themselves. Blake worked many jobs, mostly just restaurant and bartending work until about 1956 when she met a man who said that she could a lot more money if she could get information for him. This started her career as an informant and would help whoever paid the biggest amount of cash. Her reputation was small but the connections she made were good enough to let her mother retire so she could live her life in peace.
  
  In 1959, the IWU came to her with a job, getting information on the Porter's who had a hold on the city of Dublin for quite some time. At a nightclub that the Porter's owned, she met Jackson McCarthy who aided her after the shooting. He may think his "irresistible" looks and "charm" made her have second thoughts about helping the IWU, but in reality, Blake had noticed they were doing more harm than good and she knew what she was doing wouldn't make either of her parents proud.
  
  After the war with the IWU was over, the Porter's moved to New York and Jackson and Blake stayed in Dublin. In the spring of 1961, they were married off the coast Leinster and moved from their apartment to a large estate in Dalkey. Four years later on May 4th 1965, Blake gave birth to their only daughter, Natasha McCarthy.
  
  Jackson was called to New York and Blake stayed back with Natasha in Ireland. But after a few weeks, Blake felt it wasn't right to be apart and hopped on a plane headed to New York with little Natasha. Things were going as well as could be expected during the Moretti/Sullivan war and Blake was anticipating going home with Jackson after a few short months of them being there, excited to tell her husband that the was 4 weeks along with their second child. Tragedy struck (insert date here) when Jackson was killed during a gunfight with Morettis in a train station downtown and Blake's world shattered around her, suddenly being thrust into the life of a widow and a single mother, having to take care of their 5-year-old and her soon to be born son all on her own.

  Dislikes:

  Personality: Given the fact that he was born 8 months after his father's death, Collin was exposed to his mother's grief from an early age which really shaped him into who he is now. Unlike the other boys in his family, Collin isn't nearly as outgoing or as loud. He likes to keep things quiet and although he likes conversation, he's usually not the first one to start it with people he doesn't know well enough. His patience and understanding of things going on in his family's life are great and all he ever wants to do is help his mother and sister out. With the "friends" he has made (they are mostly all related), he is adventurous but almost never takes the lead on things, he would much rather follow. With his mother, he is very attached to her and rarely misbehaves, understanding at a young age how hard of a time she's had over the years, and aims to do the best he could to not upset her. This has led him to internalize a lot of his confusion and anger about things, which hasn't been good for him in the past but he's learning how to cope day by day. His sister and he are close despite the larger gap in age, he feels a protectiveness for her even though she can clearly handle herself and despite his shy personality, he always makes a point to observe and threaten any guy who comes along. He just wants to see his family happy again, even though he didn't know his father at all, he often looks to him for guidance...often talking with him when no one is listening hoping desperately that maybe he'll hear him from up there.

  Personality:
  Growing up in a wealthy household, Gwen was raised to be very well mannered, but at times it's forced. The redhead is a sweet girl with a bit of a fiery spirit underneath it all. In school and at home, the thing that tended to get her in trouble was her mouth. On a good day, she tends to keep that mouth of hers shut and is helpful, charming, and sweet. On a bad day, she tends to shut out the world and if she is poked or prodded about anything, she snaps. Its a 50/50 chance on what a person will get with her but there is never a dull moment. With her friends, she is very loyal and giving, even when she hardly has anything to give. With her family, she would go to the ends of the earth to protect them, even if that meant putting herself in harm's way. Gwen is a people pleaser and will leap and bound to do what they want. She never wants to disappoint and thinks that having someone disappointed in her is far worse than being angry. With her husband, Gwen is very devoted and loyal to him but they do have their moments of differentiating opinions which can cause them to fall out from time to time. With her children, Gwen tries to be a very patient and understanding mother while staying firm on her beliefs that they should live a life better than both she and Jason started out.

  History:
  Gweneth Hazel Sheehan was born on April 13th, 1935 in Chicago to her mother Lila Sheehan, and a man who she would never get to meet. A few months after Gwen was born, her mother decided that it was best for both herself and her baby to move back to Ireland where she then met her husband Erick who was to be Gwen's stepfather. The girl grew up in Ireland living the fullest life that she possibly could, wanting for nothing, her mother and her wealthy stepfather made sure she had everything she could possibly need, so long as she did as she was told. Gwen tried as hard as she could to be well mannered, not acting out in a way that would embarrass her stepfather in front of his businessmen or guests that often came over for splendid dinner parties and events that benefited the business that her stepfather ran. The man that she was forced to call "father" was a cold-hearted person who never paid attention to Gwen as a person, only paying attention to her when it benefited him with her mother or when he was punishing her when she was bad. He seemingly would do anything for the woman he loved but wanted to get rid of the kid that came along with it. She would often eat dinners alone, her stepfather not wanting to be bothered by the chatty little girl who was excited to tell her mother about her day at school. Luckily, she found comfort in the help, who constantly kept her company and was willing to listen to the little girl talk about her day.
  
  When her mother could get away from her husband, she often would spend her time with Gwen. They shared similar interests, her mother had a lovely voice and Gwen loved it when they sang together before bedtime. When the girl asked of her real father, her mother simply told her that he didn't want a baby and never elaborated on the subject. As she grew up, Gwen grew farther and farther apart from her mother as the woman began to put the man she loved on the highest pedestal, seeming to forget about Gwen for some time. The young teen did everything she could to try to grasp her mother's attention, taking singing lessons, cello lessons, thriving in school...nothing could take away the glossy blank look her mother had in her eyes and as the years went by, it got worse. Gwen only wished she had been able to see what was really going on behind the perfect little image that her family had created. In 1960, her mother had killed herself. Gwen blaming her stepfather for destroying her mother's life, knowing that he had been abusive to the woman in recent years, left him and the big fancy home that she had lived in for years. Leaving with only a few of her and her mother's most important possessions, she had saved enough money to move into a cramped little apartment that's shared with another woman at least 20 years older than her in the city and got a job at the local Jazz club owned by the Callahan's and Porters.
  
  Gwen had been going through her mother's possessions after finding that there simply wasn't enough room in her bedroom to keep everything when she found an envelope with a few handwritten notes inside. Upon reading, she determined that it was some sort of love letter from her mother to the man who was said to be her father. There was another note too, one from her father to her mother. At first, Gwen struggled to read the messy signature at the bottom of it but after getting a second opinion from her roommate, they both confirmed that the name read Ronan Porter. Gwen was well aware of the hold that the Porters had in Dublin and had heard many stories about their power both good and bad. Despite having a direct connection to the Porters by working at the Jazz club, Gwen has been debating with herself if it was safe to get tangled up in that family, her family apparently.
  
  With her family in her life, Gwen felt on top of the world, like she could accomplish anything. During that time, she had met a man, Jason Costello, who was destined to do more than just shatter her heart. The pair fell in what she thought was love and they spent what felt like months in an intense affair of countless drinks, dances and nights together in her bed. Needless to say, he was out of her life without so much as a second glance after he hurt her emotionally and Gwen spent the next 2 years in Dublin, continuing to focus on her jazz music until she was beginning to grow tired of the same old same old. Though she loved her family dearly, she knew that she wasn't going to stay in Dublin forever and knew that her career would benefit greatly if she tried her luck in the States. So with the money she was able to save up over the years, the redhead moved from Dublin to Los Angeles at the beginning of 1963 and she worked in a nightclub as a waitress for a few months until she met a producer from the area, Edward Bryant. Long before she knew he was a producer, the woman was charmed by the well-dressed and well-spoken man. He was a gentleman who would surprise her with small gifts at the end of her shifts. She still had been hesitant to date him but in the end, he won. Over a dinner conversation, she revealed her past profession and why she moved to L.A. Eddie was supportive of this dream she had, he himself just starting out in the business as well. Eddie agreed to sign her onto his label, Dexterity Music Group in June of 1963, and from there Gwen rose to quick yet short stardom. In the whirlwind of excitement, Eddie and Gwen married quickly. That same year, Gwen turned up being pregnant with their first child. What Gwen thought would be paradise soon turned into her own personal hell after Eddie got himself and her hooked on heroin. He turned into a completely different man from who Gwen had known before. She was abused relentlessly on the bad days, on the good days he was out with friends or at events where Gwen could get some peace at home.
  
  Lorelei Elizabeth Bryant was born May 21st, 1964 but to say she was born into a loving home would be an understatement. Things were scary for the baby from the beginning, Gwen was heavily using during her entire pregnancy and Lorelei was born having withdrawals from heroin, being severely underweight and fussy for the first 6 months of her life. It wasn't long after she was born that things took another terrible turn. One night when her husband came home, he was so angry with their daughter's cries that he actually tried to physically shut her up. Gwen tried to stop him, distracting him by jumping on top of him. He beat her horribly for it and forced her to tell the hospital staff that she had been hit by a car, threatening to take their daughter's life.
  
  After a few months had passed, Gwen resided to the fact that her life was going to be as terrible as it was. After getting back from the studio one night, she found her ex-husband high as a kite with her daughter in her crib where she had left her. She found bruises on her daughter's face and Gwen decided that was the last straw. After obtaining some arsenic, Gwen tried to kill her husband the quickest way she could. After making him a drink, she was going to give it to him when he once again flew off the handle like he normally did. Taking the drink from her, he threw the glass at her, not taking even a sip.
  
  Something in Gwen snapped that night and she ended up stabbing her husband over and over until he laid in a pool of his own blood on the floor. Not thinking, Gwen took her daughter and her car out of the city limits. Luckily for her, her brother was a mob boss and was able to cover up the whole murder with his connections. Gwen, for years, held her breath wondering if she would ever get arrested but that day never came. Despite her release from her abusive ex-husband's grip, Gwen still used heroin heavily. It wasn't until 1971 that she first made the decision to try and clean up her act. Auditioning on Broadway was a huge step for her and for once, she thought things would work out in her favor.
  
  Fate seemed to have a funny way of showing her exactly what she needed because Jason Costello waltzed right back into her life suddenly, auditioning for the lead in the show Cabaret as she had been. After they both found out that they had gotten the lead, things got off to a rocky start. They were both at each other's throats for the first couple of weeks of rehearsals. As time went on, the pair had gotten to know each other as they had changed a lot since the last time they were together and everything started to fall into place relationship-wise for them.
  
  Gwen's addiction led to an eye-opening overdose that sent Gwen to rehab shortly after she recovered. She and Jason spent months in rehab together (though he really didn't need it as much as she did) and with the help of professionals, Gwen was able to successfully get clean. A few weeks after getting out of rehab, Gwen had an audition lined up to play the lead in a show called A Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway. She was fortunately given the part and that was the beginning of her life being turned around for the better.

  Before he was touched by the pains of being in the mob, Peter was quite the happy go lucky young man, enjoying life despite having been abandoned as a young child. He was and still is at times, creative and sweet, charming, and romantic. After his time in prison, there was both physical and emotional differences within Peter. The emotional differences were not easy to control, his first time in the slammer, Peter developed many anxieties once on the outside, these anxieties lead him to let them out in different ways, often through anger which he was never known to be angry. The man is known not to fuck around, the fun side only showing when he allows it. He used to be a ticking time bomb of anxiety but over the years since he retired, he's gone back to his happy go lucky self from when he was a kid.
  
• 
  
  History:
  Peter grew up without any parents, a nun found him just outside the cathedral with a note stating that the parents couldn't take care of the child and asked for God to watch over him. Peter grew up with a very Irish catholic background, being raised since birth in the church's orphanage. He was a warm kind and helpful boy and young man, the sisters of the orphanage called him, "The charmer" (not in a good way to them) because his adorable smile and smooth words could make ANYONE swoon. Peter for the most part was an obedient child, sure he stole a few things, did a few drugs he probably shouldn't have done, but all in all the boy was good and pure.
  
  He never really wondered if his parents missed him or if his family even knew he existed...up until he met the Sullivans of course. The young lad was offered to work for them in exchange for not going to prison. Needless to say, the boy was doing something he wasn't supposed to and got caught this time around. He was bailed out and sent to work for the Sullivan family, being guided under James Porter so he doesn't fuck anything up. Soon after he started his job with the Sullivan’s, Peter fell in love with Sinead, who had already had a beautiful baby girl named Savannah. Peter was taken by both of them immediately and he couldn’t have been happier with his decisions.
  
  Never in a million years could he have pictured his life being as perfect as it was from the time they left Chicago up until 1960, Sinead and he had two more beautiful additions to their tiny family and everything felt right in the world for a very long time. But after all those years of letting someone else provide safety for them, Peter began to feel useless working at the jazz club he and Sinead ran. He wanted something more for himself, for his family. When he decided to get involved with the business again, it turned out to be a big mistake because he landed himself in prison towards the end of 1960. His time in the slammer had been hell and it had reflected in his personality when he was released. Though the relationship between him and his family was never the same after that, they managed to pull it back together for a long time..until Peter ended up back in prison in 1967.
  
  He was sentenced to 3 years but it was reduced to a year and a half for good behavior. The man changed completely, all that time by himself had gotten to him and even though he himself never started fights, it wasn't uncommon for others to harass him, just as they had the first time around. His time there had opened up a whole other can of worms that he hadn't dealt with in a long time, his abandonment as a child. This feeling was amplified due to his time in prison and he grew bitter. The man who was released was assertive, wearing his anger on the outside like it was armor, protecting him for further abandonment. His relationship was failing with his wife in the beginning, however, the war with the Moretti's really put into perspective for him that losing his family would be the worst thing in his life, death, or otherwise. It was during the last few months in New York that Peter decided it was time to move on from the mob life and live the rest of his life in retirement with Sinny and their new baby on the way.
  
  Their family fought the good fight for as long as they could in New York but once it was decided that they would leave to move back to Ireland in the latter part of 1972 (Sinny/Peter left before then) Peter was more than relieved as he never really was a fan of what New York had to offer and it honestly wasn't a place to raise their new baby Liam. For the next 7 years, he spent his days with his wife and youngest child along with his older children when they were around, enjoying the normalcy of retirement up until 1979 when Peter decided that he really had enough of that life. While he did help out Sinny with her own career path, Peter wanted something more. As much as he enjoyed spending time with his wife and the kids that were around him, Peter had been feeling useless for a while and really wanted to do things for the family again.
  
  Sinny agreed that he could once again help the mob only under the condition that if shit hit the fan, he'd have to opt-out of being apart of the mob for the sake of their family's safety and wellbeing. With understanding and devotion to his wife and his children, Peter agreed to those terms as so far, things have been running very smoothly in Dublin. He is enjoying life once more being an active member of the mob, knowing that he can take care of his own children and grandchildren along with his extended family has made him feel whole!

  History:
  Being the youngest of the King siblings, Harper never got to know her parents. Her father walked out before she was born and her mother died of a drug overdose shortly after her birth. The only parental figure she knows is her Uncle Bruce King, who graciously took her and her siblings in after they were orphaned by their parents. Growing up in a house full of men, Harper had learned a lot of things that usually young boys would learn, which immediately made her stand out when it was time for her to go to school. Kids would pick on her for "acting" like a boy instead of a girl and because of the disconnect she didn't have a lot of girlfriends in school. Although she had a rough go outside of the classroom, Harper was extremely book smart inside of the classroom and always maintained good grades, graduating high school at the top of her class. Harper was getting sick of the boy club in her house when Spencer met his first wife in 1978. Harper was hopeful that she would finally be able to have a woman in the family who understood her but that dream was shattered the moment the snobbish woman opened her big fat mouth. That relationship lasted 4 torturous years before things ended and a year later, Spencer met Harper's favorite person Shona. (more to add about her once I speak with Pyro)
  Despite her family being in the pharmaceutical business, Harper found that she had a passion for music and the theater. She went on to study that in college and at university but as most people were telling her, that degree didn't get her very far, though lack of confidence after a few failed auditions and gigs scared her away.
  
  It was during her time at the university that she found that she had a preference for both men and women. Harper only dated a few people during that time but her family name and 3 brothers brought a lot of intimidation to the relationship so they never really lasted longer than 6 months. The last relationship she was in was when she was 22 and she's been single for about 2 years now. She says she's content with loneliness but with her brother's meeting people and hitting it off she's wondering when it'll be her turn if ever. It seems like with 3 brothers and the family reputation, she's destined to live and die alone
  
  Although not much is going on in terms of relationships in her personal life, she is so excited about the things going on in her brother's lives. When Alexander met Savannah Callahan, Harper was instantly drawn to the woman especially since she was an actor and performer, a successful one at that. When Alexander got Savannah pregnant, Harper was excited to have a niece or nephew and another female member of the family, however, the couple separated after her brother cheated on the poor woman with other various women. Harper wasn't oblivious to the damage the relationship was doing to the relationships between the Sullivans and her family but Harper wasn't sure if there was anything she could do about it. Harper fully expected Savannah to leave to go home to her family with Harper's dear nephew Callum, but she has stayed...for how long has yet to be determined.

  History:
  Lorelei wasn't born into the most healthy home environment. Her mother Gwen was addicted to heroin at her birth, giving Lorelei a difficult start at life. Her father was also an addict but also a terrible abuser to both her mother and herself. She doesn't know who her father was but her mother has always insisted that he was a man that only thought about himself. They lived in L.A. for only a short time before her mother left her father and ran to her brother James Porter in New York. Lorelei was raised in the Porter home with the help of James and Lucy while her mother struggled to get her addiction under control. Despite her addiction, Lorelei's relationship with her mother was never damaged. She loved her mother more than life itself and from a young age, she understood just how much pain and trauma she had experience in life. Growing up in the Porter house was as normal as it could be being surrounded by gang members, she had a lot of cousins to play with and a lot of family to love her but she couldn't ignore the times when people came home hurt or panicked. As much as she tried to not let it bother her, it did damage her in ways that she would later realize in life. Around the age of 7, her mother took the leap to find a job on Broadway. That's when she ran into her old beau Jason Costello. Lorelei wasn't aware of the hardships between the pair, but she instantly was drawn to Jason since he was so kind to her and seemed to really be interested in her mother's wellbeing. Their relationship grew and Lorelei grew excited that she might finally have someone to look up to as a father figure.
  
  In June of 1972, Jason proposed to her mother and in August 1973 the couple was happily married surrounded by family in Dublin. After her parents were married, things turned around for the Costello's. Both Jason and Gwen had steady jobs and Lorelei was excelling in school. They seemed to be the picture-perfect family that Lorelei hadn't realized she needed until a much older age.
  
  From 1972 to 1981 the Costello family called New York City their home, but when Gwen got unexpectedly pregnant at 46 with her little brother Cian, the family made the decision that it was better to raise a baby outside of the big city and move back home closer to her family.
  
  When the family arrived in Dublin, Lorelei decided to continue her education in music and theater. Seeing how life had treated her mother and even Jason, Lorelei became determined to live a different life, to have a different start than them. For a few years, she worked about 3 or 4 different jobs, saving as much as she could while going to school so she could achieve what she wanted to. By the time she graduated, she had enough money to get her own place in the heart of Dublin and even open her own business with the help of a few university friends who had the same passion for music as her. At 19, she opened Dublin's very first piano bar, which not only catered to jazz lovers but all genres of music. It not only played piano tunes during the week but they had live rock and indie bands during the weekend along with karaoke nights weekly. It started out as a little hole in the wall place but grew really popular with the younger crowd earning a lot of profit for it to be able to serve great food and drinks that would also bring in the older crowds.
  
  Currently, Lorelei is loving life and treats every day as a blessing. Though she doesn't live with her parents, she makes a point to visit them almost every other day so she can spend time with them and her little brother Cian.
