Ronan O'Neill

---

Background:

Ronan O'Neill is the most trusted member of Alpha team in North America, and has been involved in the cause of Irish freedom since he was 17. While he was attending Trinity College in Dublin, preparing for the priesthood, his brother Trevor was arrested while in Northern Ireland. Trevor was convicted of involvement in a plot to bomb several sites in England, and was sentenced to prison. Trevor's mind was destroyed by prison, and Ronan's team recently freed Trevor along with hundreds of other prisoners in a daring raid. Ronan's involvement in the Wild Geese began soon after they became aware of his small telepathic ability, a rare thing. Ronan's lineage didn't hurt either -- O'Neills were hereditary high kings of Ireland as well.

Ronan abandoned his theological studies and worked for the Geese in several ways, though usually utilizing his emathic ability. He has worked as a recruiter for the organization, has been active politically (it's always useful to know where politicians really stand) and went undercover in VIPER for three years. He did a lot of damage to VIPER operations in Ireland, although they're still there. Moving over to one of the teams, Ronan was the agent who oversaw the addition of Kevin Armstrong and Darin Falswell to their ranks, something of a coup considering their power levels. He and Armstrong are pretty good friends, though Armstrong remains skeptical of Ronan's romantic involvement with the American reporter who broadcast his defeat at the hands of the Hudson Hawks to the world.

Ronan's relationship with Marjorie Dellinger, former CNN correspondent and erstwhile member of the Hudson Hawks, a paranormal team in Hudson City, has been kept secret from the rest of the team until very recently. Because of the nature of their lives -- mercenary and freelance journalist/superheroine -- they have little time to spend with one another. There were numerous bets in the team as to why Ronan had recently become so mysterious, though Annike came out a hundred pounds ahead.

Powers/Tactics:
Ronan's greatest ability is a knack for organization and planning. He often is involved in much of the coordination of agents and gathering preliminary information. He is by no means a combat monster, although he's not incompetent. He has excellent judgement where people are concerned, and rarely misinterprets cues.

Personality:
Ronan has an easy-going attitude which often fools people into thinking he's not paying attention. He's exceptionally handsome and charismatic, with a knack for getting people to talk about themselves, and women have a tendency to easily fall for him. Considered in school to be a brilliant theologian, he can just as easily discuss soccer or the antenicaean fathers. He attends Mass twice a week, and is very devout. He doesn't regret his decision not to join the priesthood, since he's serving Ireland.

Appearance:

Ronan is 6'2. Classically black Irish, Ronan is pale and has black hair and blue eyes. He's solidly built, though not bulky. He often has a half-smile on his face, and whistles traditional songs to himself slightly off-key.
