HE WOULDN'T BE THE LEADER OF HIS BRANCH OF THE IRISH MOB IF HE WASN'T. HE'S EASILY IRRITATED AND DOESN'T HANDLE HIS PATIENCE OR HIS TEMPER WELL. IT'S PRETTY EASY TO AGGRAVATE HIM, BUT HE IS CAPABLE OF SITTING DOWN AND CALMING HIMSELF IF GIVEN THE CHANCE. HOWEVER, IN HIS LINE OF... LIFE THERE AREN'T MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESTFUL THINKING. HE'S ALWAYS QUICK TO ACT - SHOOT FIRST OR BE SHOT. HE ALSO WOULDN'T BE THE ONE SET TO TAKE OVER IF HE WAS A KINDHEARTED PERSON. HE'S FAR FROM IT. HE'S A BLOODTHIRSTY BAD ASS WHO ENJOYS WHAT HE DOES. SINCE THE TIME HE TURNED SIXTEEN, HE'S BEEN A SOLDIER FOR THE IRISH MOB, AND HE QUICKLY BECAME THEIR TACTICAL LEADER EVEN AT A YOUNG AGE. HE'S BEEN KILLING FOR THE IRISH SINCE HE WAS FOURTEEN, SO HE'S USED TO DEATH AND IT DOESN'T PHASE HIM. VERY LITTLE SURPRISES HIM - AND HE HATES TO BE SURPRISED. BASICALLY, HE DOESN'T TAKE SHIT FROM ANYONE EXCEPT HIS OWN FAMILY, AND VERY SELDOM DOES HE TAKE IT FROM THEM EITHER. family: KYSON SELWYN - FATHER - (WOULD BE) 56 (DECEASED) - FORMER CO-LEADER OF THE IRISH MOB TESSA SELWYN - MOTHER - 55 - HOMEMAKER KAHLAN SELWYN - SISTER - 25 - WAITRESS AND SINGER, LIVING IN NEW ORLEANS CURRENTLY LENNOX SELWYN - BROTHER - 23 - 'PRINCE' TO THE MOB, PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER ASHER SELWYN - BROTHER - 21 - COLLEGE STUDENT history: KYSON SELWYN WAS ONCE A GOOD MAN. HE WAS BORN INTO A MIDDLE CLASS FAMILY OUTSIDE OF DUBLIN, IRELAND, AND HE GREW UP VERY CLOSELY KNIT WITH THE REST OF HIS FAMILY. NOT LONG AFTER HIM CAME HIS YOUNGER BROTHER KIPPER FOLLOWED BY THEIR ONLY SISTER AND ANOTHER BROTHER. ALL WAS WELL WITH THE SELWYN SIBLINGS. HOWEVER, THINGS CHANGED WHEN KYSON TURNED EIGHTEEN. HIS MOTHER AND FATHER WERE BRUTALLY MURDERED BY THE ITALIAN MAFIA BECAUSE, UNBEKNOWNST TO KYSON AND HIS SIBS, THEIR FATHER WAS THE SON OF AN ANCIENT IRISH MOBSTER, AND THE OLD MAN HAD LEFT THE MOB TO START A LIFE OF HIS OWN. HOWEVER, THE ITALIANS HADN'T KNOWN THIS, AND THEY WERE RUTHLESSLY MURDERING ANYONE CONNECTED TO THE IRISH MOB WITHOUT ASKING QUESTIONS. KYSON MANAGED TO ESCAPE WITH HIS YOUNGER BROTHERS AND SISTER, AND THEY FLED INTO THE CITY OF DUBLIN WHERE THEY WOULD BE BETTER HIDDEN AMONG THE CROWDS OF PEOPLE. THEY RAN TO AN AUNT'S HOUSE WHO PUT THEM UP AND HID THEM FROM THOSE WHO SOUGHT TO FIND THEM. KYSON, HOWEVER, WAS NOT RESIGNED TO LET MATTERS GO WITHOUT SOME AMOUNT OF RETRIBUTION. ONE NIGHT, WHEN HIS YOUNGER SIBLINGS HAD ALREADY FALLEN ASLEEP AND HIS AUNT WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION, KYSON SLIPPED OUT OF HIS BEDROOM WINDOW, STOLE A HAND GUN FROM A LOCAL GUN SHOP, AND HOPPED A TRAIN WHICH TOOK HIM TO CLONDALKIN, THE SMALL TOWN OUTSIDE OF DUBLIN WHERE HE KNEW THE ITALIANS TO BE IN HIDING. ONCE HE WAS THERE, HE SNUCK INTO THEIR BASE AND BEGAN SHOOTING, TRYING TO KILL THE PEOPLE WHO KILLED HIS PARENTS WITHOUT THINKING VERY FAR AHEAD. THANKFULLY, THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF MEN IN THE BUILDING, SO HE WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE - BARELY - AFTER WOUNDING TWO MEN. UNLUCKILY, AS HE WAS RUNNING BACK THROUGH THE RAN TRYING TO GET TO DUBLIN, HE WAS TRACKED DOWN ON THE ROAD BY THE POLICE HOW HAULED HIM INTO JAIL. KYSON ENDED UP BEING SENTENCED TO NINE YEARS IN PRISON FOR SHOOTING ANOTHER PERSON. WHILE KYSON WAS IMPRISONED, HE PLANNED HIS REVENGE ONCE HE GOT BACK ON THE OUTSIDE. HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN A THINKER, AND HE DIDN'T STOP JUST BECAUSE HE WAS IN JAIL. HE WROTE LETTERS TO HIS YOUNGER BROTHER KIPPER WHO WAS ONLY TWO YEARS YOUNGER, AND EVEN MORE HATEFUL TOWARD THE ITALIANS THAN HIS OLDER BROTHER - IF THAT'S POSSIBLE - AND THE TWO PLANNED TO RECONNECT WITH THEIR MAFIA ROOTS ONCE KYSON WAS RELEASED. THEY WOULD EVEN FORM THEIR OWN MOB IF THEY HAD TO, AND THEY WOULD TAKE DOWN THE ITALIAN MAFIA. WHEN KYSON WAS RELEASED NINE YEARS LATER, THE TWO BROTHERS MET UP AND PUT THEIR PLANNING INTO ACTION. NOT LONG AFTER HIS RELEASE FROM JAIL, KYSON MET A YOUNG LADY BY THE NAME OF TESSA YAXLEY, A BARMAID IN THE PUB WHERE HE AND HIS BROTHER SPENT A LOT OF THEIR TIME, ARRANGING THEIR PLANS. DESPITE HIS INTENTIONS TO BE FULLY DEVOTED TO THEIR RETRIBUTION, KYSON BEGAN TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE GORGEOUS YOUNG WOMAN WHO WAS ONLY TWO YEARS HIS JUNIOR. A MERE SIX MONTHS LATER, THE TWO GOT MARRIED, AND KYSON WAS HAPPIER THAN HE HAD BEEN SINCE BEFORE HIS PARENTS WERE KILLED. TO THEIR SURPRISE, TESSA GOT PREGNANT ON THEIR WEDDING NIGHT, AND THE TWO BECAME PARENTS MERELY NINE MONTHS AFTER BEING WED. CONNOR WAS A HANDSOME LITTLE BABY WITH HIS BLACK HAIR AND DARK BROWN EYES, AND HIS PARENTS FELL INSTANTLY IN LOVE WITH HIM. HIS UNCLE KIPPER ALSO TOOK AN IMMEDIATE LIKING TO THE LITTLE BOY, AND CONNOR WOULD GROW TO LOVE HIS UNCLE ALMOST AS A SECOND FATHER. WHILE CONNOR WAS AN INFANT AND A TODDLER, HIS FATHER WAS IMMERSED IN THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE NEW IRISH MOB, SO HE WASN'T AROUND MUCH, AND CONNOR GREW VERY CLOSE TO HIS MOTHER. TESSA WAS UTTERLY DEVOTED TO HER CHILD, EVEN AFTER SHE GOT PREGNANT WITH THE COUPLE'S SECOND CHILD. AFTER HIS BROTHER WAS BORN, CONNOR WAS FORCED - AGAINST HIS PARENTS' WISHES - TO RAISE HIMSELF. THE BOY GREW VERY INDEPENDENT, BUT HE ALSO ADORED HIS FATHER AND WANTED BADLY TO MAKE THE OLD MAN PROUD. BY THE TIME CONNOR WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, HE ALREADY KNEW HOW TO USE A GUN AND WAS AN EXPERT RIFLEMAN. DUE TO THE NATURE OF HIS FAMILY'S WORK, CONNOR GREW UP IN A MUCH DIFFERENT SOCIETY THAN HIS FATHER AND UNCLE HAD. THEIR FAMILY HAD MONEY NOW FROM THEIR UNDERGROUND BLACK MARKET AND LUCRATIVE BUSINESS OF CRIME, SO CONNOR AND HIS SIBLINGS HAD PRACTICALLY ANYTHING THEY WANTED. HE WAS PUT INTO THE BEST SCHOOLS, AND HE GOT THE BEST EDUCATION MONEY COULD BUY. AT THE AGE OF SIXTEEN, WHEN CONNOR WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, HE OFFICIALLY BECAME A SOLDIER FOR HIS FATHER'S MAFIA. HE HAD ACTUALLY KILLED HIS FIRST TARGET AT FIFTEEN, PROVING HIMSELF TO THE OLDER MEN. WITHOUT HIS FATHER KNOWING, WHEN HE WENT ON HOLIDAY FROM SCHOOL ONE WINTER, CONNOR GOT HIMSELF HIS FIRST FOUR LEAF CLOVER TATTOO ON THE INSIDE OF HIS LEFT WRIST. HOWEVER, NOT MUCH COULD BE HIDDEN FROM KYSON SELWYN, AND THE OLDER MAN SOON FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TATTOO. AT FIRST, HE WAS UPSET THAT HIS SON WOULD BE SO INVOLVED WITH THE MAFIA - DEEP DOWN IT WAS NEVER THE LIFE HE WOULD HAVE CHOSEN FOR HIS CHILD ALTHOUGH HE HAD CHOSEN IT FOR HIMSELF - BUT HE SOON SURRENDERED WHEN HE REALIZED HOW MUCH HIS SON WAS DEVOTED TO THEIR CAUSE. ONE MORE SOLDIER WAS ALWAYS NEEDED. SO, CONNOR BECAME ONE OF THE LEADING SOLDIERS IN THE MAFIA IN HIS NIGHTLIFE. IN HIS DAY LIFE, HE BECAME ONE OF THE MOST LUSTED AFTER YOUNG MEN IN HIS SCHOOL. HIS MUSCULAR BODY - MUSCLED FROM ADULT WORK THAT MOST HIGH SCHOOL BOYS NEVER EXPERIENCE - AND SWIFT TONGUE GARNERED HIM MUCH ATTENTION FROM THE FEMALE POPULATION, AND HE HAD ALREADY LOST HIS VIRGINITY BY THE TIME HE WAS SIXTEEN AND A HALF. HE ALSO REALIZED THAT HE WAS ADDICTED TO SEX, A TRAIT HE HAD INHERITED FROM HIS OVERLY-SEXED UNCLE KIPPER. HE BECAME ONE OF THE MOST PROMISCUOUS BOYS AT HIS SCHOOL, PARTYING AND SLEEPING WITH NUMEROUS GIRLS IN HIS 'TEENAGER' LIFE, AND GUNNING DOWN ENEMIES IN HIS 'ADULT' LIFE. ON CONNOR'S EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY, HE WAS PROMOTED TO BE A COLONEL IN THE IRISH MAFIA'S ARMY WHICH MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE NOW THAN IT HAD BEEN WHEN HE WAS A CHILD. HIS UNCLE KIPPER TOOK HIM OUT FOR DRINKS - SINCE THE LEGAL DRINKING AGE IN IRELAND IS 18 - AND CONNOR DEVELOPED A LOVE FOR HIS SECOND VICE: ALCOHOL. LIKE MOST IRISH KIDS, HE'D GROWN UP AROUND THE STUFF AND HAD HAD DRINKS BEFORE, ALBEIT NOT IN PUBLIC, BUT HE HADN'T HAD SO MUCH FREEDOM WITH ALCOHOL BEFORE. HE LATCHED ON TO IT LIKE A BABY LATCHES ONTO A BOTTLE OF MILK, AND TO THIS DAY HE STILL ENJOYS GETTING SAUCED ON A REGULAR OCCASION. NOT LONG AFTER THE SIX MONTH MARK AFTER HIS EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY, HIS FATHER DISCOVERED THAT A BRANCH OF THE ITALIAN MAFIA HAD MOVED TO THE UNITED STATES, SO HE DECIDED TO UPROOT THE FAMILY AND MOVE THEM. CONNOR WAS ALREADY IN COLLEGE BY THIS TIME, BUT HE WAS DEVOTED TO THE IRISH MAFIA AND HIS FAMILY, SO HE TOOK A LEAVE OF ABSENCE AND MOVED TO CALIFORNIA WITH THE FAMILY. AT FIRST, THEY TRIED NEW YORK WHERE THEY'D HEARD RUMORS OF SOME OF THE ITALIANS, BUT AFTER NO LUCK, THE FAMILY TRACKED A SMALL GROUP OF THEM TO LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. THEY PICKED UP ON TRACES OF SEVERAL OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS, INCLUDING THE CHILDREN OF THE MAIN MAFIA MEMBERS OF THE CONSTANTINO FAMILY. CONNOR WAS GIVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF TRACKING THE YOUNGER ONES, SPECIFICALLY DONATA, A GIRL THREE YEARS HIS JUNIOR AND QUITE ATTRACTIVE TO HIS SEXAHOLIC EYES. AFTER PUTTING SURVEILLANCE ON THE GIRL, THE IRISH WERE EVENTUALLY ABLE TO TRACK HER DOWN AND THEY KIDNAPPED HER RIGHT FROM THE FRONT STEPS OF HER AFTERNOON ART CLASS. CONNOR DIDN'T GET TO SEE HER AT FIRST BECAUSE THE FAMILY HAD HER STORED AWAY WHERE THEY COULD GET INFORMATION OUT OF HER, BUT SOON ENOUGH, HE WAS ALLOWED TO SEE HER. HONESTLY, HE WAS MESMERIZED WITH THE YOUNGER BEAUTY, NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE SHE WAS THAT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER GIRL HE'D SEEN OR EVEN BEEN WITH FOR THAT MATTER, BUT SHE WAS UNATTAINABLE. NOTHING WAS UNATTAINABLE FOR CONNOR SELWYN. THEY HAD HER IN HER OWN ISOLATED PRISON IN THE BASEMENT OF ONE OF THE PROPERTIES THEY OWNED IN LOS ANGELES, AND ON THE EVE OF HIS NINETEETH BIRTHDAY, CONNOR DECIDED TO PAY HER A VISIT. HE WAS ALSO DRUNK OUT OF HIS MIND AND HARDLY EVEN REMEMBERS WHAT HAPPENED. LEAVING HIS OWN BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION EARLY, HE DROVE OVER TO THE HOUSE AND SNUCK DOWN INTO THE BASEMENT WHERE DONATA WAS CHAINED TO A POLE. THROUGH HIS DRUNKEN HAZE, HIS OWN COMMON SENSE COULDN'T BREAK THROUGH, AND HE ENDED UP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HER IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE. HE RAPED HER AND THEN, SOBERING UP SLIGHTLY AFTERWARD AND REALIZING PARTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE STUMBLED AWAY, FORGETTING TO CHAIN HER BACK AND ACTUALLY PASSING OUT ONCE HE HAD BARELY GOTTEN HIMSELF OUT OF THE BASEMENT AND BACK INTO THE HOUSE. A GROUP OF HIS FELLOW SOLDIERS WENT SEARCHING FOR HIM WHEN THEY FOUND HIM MISSING, AND WOUND UP AT THE HOUSE. AROUND THE SAME TIME, THE CONSTANTINOS SHOWED UP, SEARCHING FOR THEIR MISSING MEMBER, AND THERE WAS A GUN FIGHT. CONNOR WAS TOO DRUNK TO BE MUCH HELP, BUT HE MANAGED TO GET OFF A COUPLE OF SHOTS BEFORE GETTING SHOT HIMSELF. HE GOT AWAY WITH ONE OF HIS BUDDIES WHILE THE OTHERS WERE KILLED IN THE RAID. HOWEVER, HE STILL HAS THE SCAR TO REMEMBER THE NIGHT BY, AND IT REMINDS HIM OF THE GIRL WHO GOT AWAY. HE DIDN'T FEEL REMORSE FOR HIS ACTIONS EVEN AFTER THE HAZE WORE OFF AND HE REMEMBERED WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE GIRL WAS JUST ANOTHER FUCKING CONSTANTINO IN HIS MIND. LITTLE DID HE KNOW THAT THE GIRL WOULD LOSE HER MEMORY FROM A BLOW TO THE HEAD THAT NIGHT, AND SHE WOULD FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT HER PAST LIFE. SHE WOULD GO ON TO BELIEVE SHE HAD AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LIFE AS ARCHER CARRIGAN, WITH AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FAMILY AND EVERYTHING. AFTER HIS DRUNKEN BEHAVIOR IN LOS ANGELES AND THE ESCAPE OF THE CONSTANTINO PRISONER, CONNOR'S FATHER ORDERED HIM BACK TO EUROPE WHERE HE COULD 'GET HIMSELF IN ORDER'. HE WAS TRANSFERRED TO ENGLAND WHERE HE CONTINUED HIS SCHOOLING AT CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY AND WENT INTO THE FIELD OF ENGINEERING. FOUR YEARS LATER, HE FINISHED HIS BACHELORS DEGREE, AND HAD ACTUALLY BEEN PROMOTED IN THE MOB DESPITE HIS FALLDOWN FOUR YEARS EARLIER. FIVE MONTHS AFTER HIS GRADUATION, HIS FATHER TRANSFERRED HIM TO LOS ANGELES IN THE AUTUMN, GIVING HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE FULL REPARATIONS FOR HIS BEHAVIOR BEFORE HE'D BEEN SHIPPED BACK TO EUROPE. HE WAS PROMOTED AGAIN, THIS TIME TO HEAD THE IRISH ARMY, NOW BASED IN SAPPHIRE BAY, CALIFORNIA BECAUSE THE FAMILY HAD MOVED TO THE SMALLER SEASIDE TOWN TO AVOID THE SCRUTINY OF THE ALL-SEEING EYES OF THE LAW IN LOS ANGELES. ONE FATEFUL DAY WHEN HE WAS MAKING A GUN RUN WITH HIS FATHER TO ANOTHER SMALL TOWN FARTHER SOUTH DOWN THE COAST, A MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE HIT AND SPLIT THE WORLD APART. CONNOR AND KYSON WERE IN THE CENTER OF MAIN STREET WHEN IT HAPPENED, AND ALTHOUGH THEY ESCAPED THEIR CAR, KYSON FELL INTO AN OPENING RIFT IN THE PAVEMENT AND BROKE HIS LEG AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF RIBS. DEBRIS WAS FALLING EVERYWHERE, PINNING HIS FATHER TO THE GROUND, AND DESPITE HIS BEST EFFORTS, CONNOR COULDN'T PULL HIM OUT. HE WAS DESPERATELY TRYING TO SAVE HIS FATHER WHEN THE OLDER MAN TOLD HIM TO STOP AND TO SAVE HIMSELF. HE REFUSED, AND WHEN HE DID SO, KYSON PULLED OUT HIS GUN, HANDED IT TO HIS SON, AND ORDERED HIM TO SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD TO END THE PAIN. THERE WAS NO WAY TO SAVE HIM, AND THE LAST THING HE WANTED WAS FOR THEIR WHOLE OPERATION TO BE UNRAVELED IF RESCUE WORKERS FOUND HIM. SO, CONNOR HAD TO PERFORM THE MOST HORRIBLE AND HAUNTING MURDER OF HIS LIFE: HE HAD TO KILL HIS OWN FATHER. THAT ACT WILL ALWAYS HAUNT HIM. NOW, CONNOR LIVES IN SAPPHIRE BAY AND HEADS THE IRISH ARMY AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE IRISH MOB RESIDING IN THE TOWN. DURING THE DAY, HE WORKS AS AN INTERN ENGINEER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, A GUISE HIS FATHER DREAMED UP FOR HIM SO THE FAMILY COULD HAVE A MEMBER ON THE INSIDE OF THE GOVERNMENT. HIS NIGHTS CONSIST OF DOING HIS JOB AS MAFIA DON. royalstandard - before dirt - forever |
