Detective Sean Francis McGillicutty
Description
A grizzled veteran of the Chicago Police Department in his late 50s. Sean has a rough, unkempt appearance, with a weathered face and a permanent five o’clock shadow. He’s often seen wearing a rumpled suit and a fedora that has seen better days. His demeanor exudes a combination of weariness and defiance.Personality
Sean is cynical and opportunistic, known for bending or breaking the rules to get what he wants. Despite his corruption, he’s still sharp and knowledgeable about the city's underworld. He has a gruff exterior but occasionally shows a softer side to those he considers allies. His loyalty often comes with a price, and he’s driven by personal gain rather than justice.Habits
Greasing Palms: Regularly takes bribes and uses his position to benefit himself and his associates.Chummy with Criminals: Has a network of connections in the criminal world and often socializes with them in bars and speakeasies.
Selective Investigation: Chooses to investigate cases selectively, often prioritizing cases that offer personal or financial benefits.
Avoiding Paperwork: Deliberately avoids or delays paperwork and official reports to cover up his corrupt activities and protect himself from scrutiny.
Hooks & Angles
"Favor for a Favor" – McGillicuddy knows how to make things disappear: reports, evidence, bodies. But he never does anything for free, and his debts always come due. Cracks in the Armor – Despite his reputation, he’s not made of stone. A name from his past, a photo from the war, or a child he doesn’t talk about could be used against him. Tied to the Streets – He’s got informants everywhere—junkies, beat cops, bartenders. If someone’s stirring up heat, he knows about it before the smoke rises. Play Both Sides – He’s just as likely to help the Sinners as to sell them out—depending on what’s in it for him. And sometimes, he’ll do both in the same night. Not Quite Washed – There’s a case he never closed, one that haunts him in ways he won't admit. If it resurfaces, it could drag him—and anyone near him—down.
