Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Living… in Boston, Massachusetts. Connor and his fraternal twin brother, Murphy, are Irish Americans who begin their days with Catholic Mass. And they end their days by drinking themselves under the table.

Profession… vigilante. When a bar fight gets out of control and leads the MacManus brothers to kill two mobsters, they realize that they could help bring justice to the city. They pledge to bring justice to scumbags who slip through the cracks of the criminal justice system.

Interests… religion. Connor and his brother are very devout Catholics, and believe that they are tasked by God to eliminate the corruption from their city. Before executing criminals, the brothers often recite scripture: “And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand…That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.”

Relationship Status… single. The only close relationships that matter to Connor are with his brother and God.

Challenge… evading the FBI. Connor and Murphy’s vigilante antics have been causing quite the stir in Boston, attracting the attention of local FBI Agent and unstable genius Paul Smecker. The two brothers have resolved to kill nine Russian mobsters, but the FBI is hot on their trail.

Personality… rational, cautious, and devoted. Connor is a calculating and detailed man, who prefers to plan out every action instead of rushing into things like his hotheaded brother would do. A bit naïve, Connor likes to make everything they do look like an action movie, though those plans are sometimes unrealistic. He commits himself fully to every aspect of his life whether it’s religion or ridding the city of scum.
