Sean Michael Finnegan aka Sionnach

*Age:*	29
*Gender:*	Male
*Primary Occupation:*	Thief
*Secondary Occupation:*	Electrical Engineer
*Appearance:*	Six foot, one hundred eightish lbs. Lean, almost wiry. Shortish un-kempt reddish/blonde hair, blue eyes, pale skin. Tends toward scruffy, comfortable clothing(that allow him to move easily, and freely, and won't attract attention if he's been crawling through air vents or shimmying up pipes). Very bright, positive, charismatic demeanor. People don't tend to take him overly seriously, which is how he likes it.
*Face Claim:*	Paul Bettany
*Initial Personality:*	Gregarious, sarcastic, laid back, fun loving, a drinker, skilled at what he does, but takes very little seriously.
*Underlying Personality:*	He plays the part of the fun loving Irish drunkard stereotype to throw people off and make people underestimate him. He rarely actually drinks alcohol and when he does it's rarely to excess. He is cooly professional and calculating and constantly assesses his surroundings and the people around him. It's rare but if he finds someone worthy of his respect he will be tremendously loyal to them even to the point of uncharacteristic harm to himself. Otherwise he is very selfish but will take pains to hide it.
*Known History:*	He is wanted on Paquin, Persephone and Verbena for grand larceny, under the alias Sionnach, though the warrant on Persephone actually uses his given name and photograph. He is also sought by the criminal gang The Inbetweeners, led by a woman named Fox Mau based on Persephone. The name of the master thief Sionnach is known on Paquin, Persephone, Verbena, Newhall, Deadwood, Athens, and Beaumonde, though it's only on Persephone that people know what he looks like, and any Law Force database will have the picture. A few people on Verbena will have a rough description of him. Again, he is reputed to be a drunkard and fool, but master thief.
*Other History:*	Sean was born to the Traveling People, the descendants of the Irish "gypsies"(though both they, and true Romana gypsies find the comparison insulting) on Paquin. Pressed into a life of graft at a tender age, Sean quickly learned the fine arts of theft, grifting, confidence schemes and, his true calling, breaking and entering and pick pocketing. During a raid by an Alliance backed vigilante group, most of his family was apprehended or killed. His father, who he adored, showed his true colors and betrayed his family and clan by giving up the family's hiding place in exchange for clemency. Completely disillusioned and angry at the world, he fled Paquin and ended up on Persephone, where he quickly gained work as the up and coming master thief Sionnach, under the small time criminal boss Fox Mau. Mau too, sold him out when, as instructed, he'd broken into the estate of a wealthy local noble and stole a priceless artifact from Earth That Was (a moldy, almost crumbling paperback copy of a Danielle Steele novel). When the authorities tracked the artifact to Mau, she gave up Sean as the actual thief. He let out on an oar hauler literally seconds ahead of the police, ending up on Newhall. He spent three years there(24 by this time) working on a fishing trawler, and playing his preferred trade anytime in port any of the water world's many atolls and archipelagos. After yet another scrape, which truth be told he allowed to happen because he was going mad with the tedium. He set out once more hoping to get onto a tramp ship's crew where he could ply his skills without laying down roots.
*Skills and Strengths:*	Sean is a naturally gifted infiltrator, thief, escape artist and acrobat. He's honed this talent religiously with years of practice and experience. There is almost no place he can't get into, and almost always, out of. He is also a very skilled hand to hand combatant, and is exceptionally skilled with bladed weapons. Both in melee and ranged combat, though by no means his specialty. Sean will only fight if he has no other choice. SECONDARY SKILLS: He's also a medium-decent cook, knows his way around most electronic systems of heavy machinery...loaders, vehicles, air ships, space ships, but only on the apprentice level, he can shoot pistols but only on the marksman level...he's not sharp shooter or expert and he's never touched a rifle in his life. From his time working on Newhall he's become a better than average fisherman.
*Weaknesses:*	He is tremendously selfish and self centered and will always look for an angle that benefits himself. He will also do most anything to get out of a direct fight if he possibly can do so. If fighting does occur he will do everything possible to attack an opponent from their blind side and give them little to no chance to retaliate. While he is tremendously skilled as a thief and infiltrator he buys into his own BS to a degree and will sometimes take risks that he probably shouldn't, which sometimes lands him trouble. While he takes great pains to not be seen and play the fool so as not to be suspected of being a "sneaky" sort of person, he tends to make such a spectacle of himself that he's often remembered wherever he's seen in public. He has no ability at hacking computers and no medical skills past basic first aid. 95% of onboard ship systems confound him as well, all he understands is electronics and wiring. Sean Finnegan is possibly one of the Top Five worst cooks in the known Universe. He thinks his food tastes wonderful and doesn't understand why no one likes his cooking and will try to insist on "treating" friends to a home cooked meal, which will not go so well after the first one. While he takes great pains to prepare in all ways for any job he undertakes he can only prepare so much, one particular weakness shows up in his lack of social knowledge. While he is excellent at bluffing and can fake most social interactions for short periods he has little to no true experience in corporate, military, or high society cultural interactions or institutions. Without being thoroughly tutored anyone observing him, or having been "tipped off" to something by him will discover he doesn't "belong" before very long and he will have to resort to more overt means of escape and evasion, something he tries to avoid at all costs. While he is very quick and difficult to hit in hand to hand combat he is not very skilled at it. Add to that he is a very poor striker and has particularly weak punches. He is reasonably decent with kicking but they aren't especially damaging either. His preferred method of combat is almost always to run away or resort to knife work which he is tremendously skilled at.
