Eoin McDaniels is a chronic fuck-up; now in his 30s, he has spent the better part of a decade in an on-and-off love affair with opium—this vice at least made him a menace primarily to himself. That is changing. The Dublin-born man is, despite his addiction, still strong as an ox and has recently joined the ranks of the Greenstreet Gang. It is not far-fetched to worry that the backing of the gang will prompt him to unleash his destructive potential on the neighbourhood, instead of directing it inwards.
Jacob Smith
More widely known as Mr Forsythe, Jacob Smith is an illegitimate son of the late Marquess of Sligo, a medium, a performer, and a charlatan. Utilising his knack for acting, he targets wealthier relatives of recently departed and strives to make them depart with their fortunes as well. A person of dubious morality, he is out for himself and his closest associates. Jacob is determined to make his séances more popular while not getting caught.
Timothy Anderson
Site Canon Character
Detective Inspector, Special Irish Branch, London Metropolitan Police
30 – 35 · Male
An Irish immigrant, Tim has fought for everything he’s ever had. Even with the connections his adoptive father, Superintendent Joseph Warrens, Tim has worked extremely hard to prove that he is just as capable as any other member of the Met. While his birth family does have connections to the Fenians, he has done everything in his power to distance himself from them and their beliefs, including changing his surname when he moved to London. With a chip on his shoulder the size of a city block, he’s spent his entire career in the Met hiding who he is and where he came from, and endeavors to prove himself on a daily basis – even if he’s only proving himself to himself. Recently, he’s been tasked with investigating the Greenstreet Gang, the budding turf war with the Black Powders, and any possible connections there might be with Irish republican sympathizers.
Cillian Conroy
Site Canon Character
Accountant
50+ · Male
FC: Ciarán Hinds
A Dublin native with a fondness for drinking and betting on losing dogs, Cillian Conroy ended up deeply in debt to the Greenstreet Gang. To help pay off that debt, he has come along to aid Sean’s takeover of Whitechapel (and perhaps beyond). When drunk, he will also claim that he is present as a friend to Sean’s father, to keep an eye on the often-impulsive lad, but who can say if that’s the truth, or just the ramblings of a man in his cups? Either way, he has Sean’s trust, and under his watchful eyes the coffers of the Greenstreet Gang have grown deep.
Blair McGee
Site Canon Character
Right-Hand Man
25 – 30 · Male
FC: Will Poulter
Known to be the calm eye of Sean Donoghue’s storm, Blair is an unassuming young man. If little is known about the head of the gang, less is known about Sean’s right-hand man. Seemingly bookish and reticent, Blair came along with Sean from Ireland, and immediately made a name for himself. He does not take prisoners, he does not grant mercy, and he will let absolutely nothing come between Sean and his ambitions. It is rumored that Blair is the Greenstreet member that killed the Black Powder that kicked off the rising tensions between the two gangs.
Sean Donoghue
Site Canon Character
Leader of the Greenstreet Gang
30 – 40 · Male
FC: Domhnall Gleeson
Much is rumored of Sean Donoghue, but little is known. An Irishman who arrived in London approximately four years ago, Sean brutally took over a pre-existing Irish gang in Limehouse, killing the previous leader and replacing many of the members with his own loyalists. While there are many claims about his connections to the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and why he left Ireland, what is known for certain is that Sean Donoghue is not someone to be crossed. He currently has his eyes on the territory of the Black Powder Gang, and it’s only a matter of time before he gives the order and declares war.
