Backstory:
Personal Description:
Michael is a handsome man of average size, though he is somewhat on the slim side. He has a pale complexion and raven black hair, which give his steel blue eyes an almost eerie appeal.
He usually dresses in grey or green tweeds and wears a cap when outside.
He is the second son of Dublin-based industrialist William Connolly and Claire Oswald. Michael read Anthropology at Trinity College and moved to London to complete his PhD on the transference of prehistoric religious traditions into modernity.
Ideology/Beliefs:
Michael Connolly is a socialist and atheist, being a staunch supporter of the positivistic belief that science will lead humanity to greatness. Despite his father's misgivings, he participated in the Second International in Paris, which led William Connolly to cutting his son's stipend.
Michael is also a moderate Irish nationalist, believing Ireland would be better off with more autonomy, but still functioning as a member of the Commonwealth.
Significant People:
Claire Oswald: Michael's mother who supports her son despite his leftist leanings. She is a brave and clever woman, who acts as the ideal counter to her somewhat boorish husband. Despite not having a degree, she is well-read and tries to put the ladies of Dublin to more reading and independent thought.
Michael is her second child, the eldest being Patrick, who takes most after their father, and the youngest being Aoife, his sister.
Aoife Oswald: Michael's younger sister studies medicine in Dublin and wishes to become a doctor. In her free time she tutors youngsters in the Irish language and writes poetry. She is bold and daring, but despite her rebelliousness also the apple of her father's eye.
Meaningful Locations:
Trinity College: The buildings of the University are a place of peace of mind for Michael. The echoing of footsteps in its hallowed halls and the sound of rustling pages in the Library offer all the tranquilly the young Irishman could wish for.
King's Cross Station: Michael loves the thought of mobility and the associating with freedom. He enjoys sitting on a bench to watch the bustle of traffic in and around the station.
Treasured Possessions:
A hand-written transcript of the Lake Isle of Innisfree: Aoife copied the lines of Yeats's poem onto an old piece of vellum and framed it as a going-away gift.
Traits:
Michael is a strong-willed and intuitive man. Although he is quite gentle and sociable, he sometimes comes across as brash and arrogant.
He cares deeply about the downtrodden of society and will more often than not side with the underdog.
Key Connection:
Aoife has always been a beacon of stability for Michael.
Assets:
Small, but well-stocked apartment in Bethnal Green
Small library focusing on Eastern and Near-Eastern studies, socio-economic theories and Irish literature.
