Backstory:
- Born in Crossmaglen, South Armagh, Northern Ireland, he had a rough childhood growing up poor in the 1990s. Born in 1993, he was born into some of the roughest violence of "The Troubles", especially as the village he grew up in was one of the the strongholds of the IRA South Armagh Brigade. Born into a Catholic family, his family were Republican supporters, and he grew up with an intense dislike of authority. Growing up surrounded by members of the IRA, he often looked up to them, not knowing who his father was, he often looked to these men as father figures. His mother had always told him he was the son of Thomas Murphy, a high ranking member of the IRA, but he was never legally linked to Murphy or the IRA. On June 24th 1998, his mother was murdered by an IRA bomb in Newtonhamilton, South Armagh. He was taken into care, but was eventually sent to New York to live with a long lost uncle.
Moving to Queens, New York City when he was just 8, his uncle, a police officer, sought to make him respect authority more, and drop his pro-IRA stance. For a long time, Cody refused to believe his mother had been murdered by the IRA. He was convinced it was a fake attack by the Loyalist UVF Mid-Ulster Brigade, which is what he'd been told in the immediate aftermath of the attacks. He refused to accept it for a long time, never truly admitting that people he'd looked up to as father figures had killed his mother.
After doing very well in school, despite not trying very hard, he was offered a scholarship to a number of Colleges across the country, but instead elected to stay and join the force at the age 21 in 2011. He cut his teeth working with the Drug and Gang task forces before taking his detectives exam at 23, just 2 years after joining the force. in 2015 he was placed into the New York City Police Department Organized Crime Control Bureau (OCCB), his first case was taking down an Irish mob outfit working out of his old neighbourhood.
Throughout his childhood and early adulthood, he'd always managed to keep close relationships with some of the members of the IRA he'd known as a child, some of them had moved up the ranks and become shot callers. He began infiltrating their organisation after joining the OCCB, pretending to be a bent cop, fallen out of love with the job, wanting to help "the cause". He approached his superiors for a cover story, and they organised a couple of fake Civilian Complaint Review Board reports that had meant he'd been "officially" benched, with his job only saved by his uncle, a high ranking member of the NYPD. His transfer to the OCCB was top secret, known to very few people. He continually straddles the line, bringing down the IRA's rivals in return for money, but also in return gathering information that would topple their state side operation.
Power:
Having grown up in Queens, he was familiar with lots of drug dealers in the city, and knew to stay clear of them. Tommy and Ghost were older than him, and he knew to steer clear. Cody and Tommy cross paths again when they meet at a church function held by Father Callahan, who alongside being a drug dealer, was a trusted member of a republican sympathist group, helping send money to the IRA. Part of Ghost and Tommy's organisation as an informant.
Sons of Anarchy:
Cody regularly works with members of the New York City chapter of the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club. Often working with the SOA and IRA to stay off NYPD and ATF radar. He's close friends with some of the members, having grown up with a couple in Queens.

NATHANIEL STARK
Name:
- Nathaniel Stark
Profession:
- NFL Player, Linebacker, New York Giants #93
Age:
- 25
Birthday:
- April 27th
Gender:
- Male
Sexuality:
- Heterosexual
Height:
- 6 ft 2.
Weight:
- 220lbs
Build:
- Athletic and muscular.
Ethnicity:
- Caucasian
Nationality:
- Half English, half Irish
Personality:
- Typically quite and reserved. People who didn’t think know him may think he was a bit rude or arrogant, but he was just calmly self assured and didn’t want to waste his time trying to impress people. He wasn’t quick to anger, but he had a temper, and didn’t back down from anyone.
Mental Strengths:
- Composed and Purposeful. He works well under pressure and never panics and he will continue until he gets what he needs done. The years of sports and training have taught him to accept failure and keep going.
Mental Weakness:
- Arrogance and impatient. He knows what he wants and when he wants it, but this sometimes leads to him getting frustrated with others. He hates having to trust others as he doesn’t believe anyone will work harder than he does, which often puts him at odds with his team mates, and was one of the reasons he was dropped by the Cardinals.
Likes:
- Playing football, training in the gym, partying, and socialising.
Dislikes:
- Being wrong, not being able to do something, feeling like he’s being spoken about behind his back.
Backstory:
- Born to an Irish mother and an English father, they moved to the USA when he was 12. He began playing football in Middle School, and never stopped. He got a scholarship to Clemson to play football. Fighting hard, he finally won the starting job as a Linebacker, playing both inside and outside and safety when needed. He was also a strong member on special teams, playing at Long Snapper for most of his career. He was drafted in the 5th round of the NFL by the Arizona Cardinals, but cut when the 52 man roster was announced. He was picked up by the New York Giants and signed to their practice squad, where he stayed for a year before making the final roster. After another year, he became a solid member of their defence, as more of a nickel back, playing a hybrid safety/linebacker position, and taking snaps at Long Snapper.

Personality
- Typically quite and reserved. He was the kind of person few people remembered, but those who did had fond memories and good things to say about him. He wasn’t quick to anger, but he had a fiery temper and he wasn’t afraid of anything. He has a sense of calm confidence around him, like nothing bothered him. Until it did. The few people who had seen his anger wouldn’t be in a rush to see it again.
Magical Ability:
- A competent wizard who seldom struggled at school. He was one of the top students in his year, and he was often told if he spent less time on his brooms he’d have been the top of his class. He was also a very competent dueller, and was able to cast any spell, and brew any potion he attempted.
Parents:
- Born to a ministry worker and a stay at home wife, Chase never had a privileged upbringing, but he always remembered being comfortable and having a good family unit around him. He remembered spending time with both his parents before he went to Hogwarts, and spent holidays seeing the world and travelling, collecting interesting stories to share around the fireplace in Ravenclaw Tower.
At School:
- He was a good student who got good grades, liked by teachers and students, but never popular. He found school easy and enjoyed extra circular activities such as Duelling Club, Quidditch, and Brook Racing.
After School:
- After leaving Hogwarts, he took a job working for Gringotts. Mid level banking job, which never satisfied him and often left him looking for more from life.
