NICKNAME: Vitaly, Niklas, Diego, Antonio… the list goes on.
AGE: 30
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Ireland

PERSONALITY

The man had 3 important things in his life, time, money, and fire arms. He’s a weapons expert, and is quite keen on deal making. He prides himself on being smarter than the average person about things the average person isn’t too smart about, however, his standard skills in school were probably just above average. He’s a smooth talker, with a sharp edge, and a sharp mind. He makes a great front man, and will happily set up a deal with anyone about anything at any time. Especially if it’s in his favor.

He speaks languages, and boy does the man speak languages, and he has a name that he takes for everyone. If the person is speaking Russian to him, he’s Vitaly, german is Niklas, Spanish is Diego, Antonio’s Italian, and the list goes on and on as he encounters more people to talk to. However, he goes by his middle name when speaking Irish, Peter, and his first name when he speaks English, Philip. The 5 points gang would know him as Philip, but probably refer to him by his middle name, Murphy. But if he makes friends outside of there, he seems to take on entirely new personas as his names and languages slip off of his tongue smoother and simpler than the alcohol he enjoys so much.

HISTORY

A smart kid from a young age came to America with his parents before he was old enough to realize he was smart. The unfortunate fact of the matter was, they were Irish immigrants, and school wasn’t something he was going to have time for, so he started working in other things. He mostly worked pawn shops where he’d get to handle guns, and knives and dangers things of that nature, learning all about them that he could. People would come into these pawn shops after just getting off the boat, so he had to pick the languages somewhere. He lived in tenements and was a quick study as he listened to the people around him jabber on in languages he didn’t understand. He would ask them for translations and many of them were happy to teach him. He was a nice kid, if just a little rough around the edges.

As he got older and his knowledge became more useful he joined the police force for a little while. However, it turns out that the New York Police Force does not look kindly on those looking to work the streets for personal gain. He was only employed a year before he was fired, before he could even make a name for himself, or become well known. He started working free lance for the city, including the Police force. At times when the city couldn’t afford to get their hands dirty, but needed things to be done, they’d call on him. And for a price, the job would be accomplished in a timely manner.

As years went on eventually he was hired to investigate the 5 points gang for an outside source. While looking into it he quickly made friends within it, and before he could realize it, became a part of it. Though he’s far from complaining. These are good people, he believes. Might as well make some friends while you’re riding through life, why not these guys?

He might be a little older than the average member, but with age, in this case, comes wisdom. He stands an average height, has dark brown hair, enjoys liquor and cigars, and always has a gun on him, if not two. If you’re looking to make a deal, put out a hit, or get a gun, this is the man you talk to.

Who are you?
