About;
Jack was born to two Irish immigrants, his mother a hard-working woman who was a people pleaser and his father lived the stereotype of an Irish drunk. He also was the older of two siblings with a little sister he’d later come to call the endearing term: spawn of satan. She’s an important one to keep an eye on, Jillian Ronan...yes Jack and Jill, there you go.
Any and all childhood memories Jack likes to keep locked away with a six digit code that answers to liquor, but it wasn’t picturesque. Ask him about it some time, or just have Jillian blab, she thinks it’s a good way to win people over. But to sum it up, parents divorced when he was a teen and his mom went back to Ireland and his father moved to Nevada to cure that gambling habit that kept his drinking habit from getting too lonely. His father, the well to do drunk he was, ended up with a new boo within the year. Bleach blonde and far too young for that man but she was in love...with his wallet.
(**There could be a change that Jack was born in Ireland and moved to Nevada in his teens but maybe not??And majority of his gifs [the ones I can find] have ginger hair so we might just go with that probably?)
She was also the ex-wife of a Valencia member, and Jack ended up racking up a pretty hefty debt to her. That was how Jack and his sister ended up hearing about Valencia and before long he had dedicated his life to working his way up the ranks. Of course, Jillian wasn’t far behind taking after their father’s girlfriend. Hanging around the members, getting a little too friendly with a few of them, God she was a pain in his ass. He’d spent most of their childhood covering for her or playing the blame game. Old habits die hard apparently because that’s exactly how Jack ended up where he is today, running from his problems and the last face a few of those Valencia members would want to see again.
(**There was also the potential of Jack being former Marines, so still up in the air on that one)
He was a treasurer. A respected position in Valencia and one he took very seriously, they were his family and they had given his life purpose. But all good things come to an end and Jack’s own came at the hands, or rather the big mouth of Jillian. She had overheard Serafin and the secret that would ultimately put him behind bars for three years and while she knew to keep her mouth shut one night at a bar and trying to impress a man who unbeknownst to her happened to be a police officer sealed the fate for many. Jack covered for her when the evidence pointed back to his sister, but what he hadn’t accounted for was that she was more than happy to throw him under the bus to save her own skin. He’d already been caught in a lie himself covering for her so who was to say he wasn’t lying about making some sort of deal to sell out Serafin? Jack’s record wasn’t squeaky clean himself.
So he took the blame and while he was given a minor punishment for his sins at first, when the problem didn’t go away and Serafin ended up in jail, Jack dipped. For the next four years he traveled, moving from place to place with no real sense of direction. He even stopped over in Ireland to visit his mother. A woman with a new picture perfect family. But a few months prior Jack had a run-in with so not so friendly people out in New Orleans. A New Orleans crime family, just his luck. It was a double edged sword, picking his poison to either stay with a target on his back from this family or return to Nevada where Jack had a sneaking suspicion that he wouldn’t be welcome with open arms.
He chose the latter, and with t he things his spawn of satan sister said about him while staying in a positive light within Valencia herself and the cowardice actions on Jack’s end, it wouldn’t be a far stretch to assume the lesser of two evils for him was back in New Orleans.
Connection ideas;
Anyone who was in Valencia. (bad blood probably)
Anyone connected with his sister, who is still involved with a few members.
Old neighbors/new neighbors.
People he’s wronged (extensive list)
People he met during his travels
A character who tricks him (he’s pretty thick when he thinks he’s right)
He owes this character, big time.
Poker game got out of hand.
