Francis O'Connell Inish Glamour Mage and Low life

Francis began life in Inishmore fighting and cheating with the rest of his friends. Just because he was growing up he saw no reason to stop. In truth he rather enjoyed being a low life. There was more honesty in the company of cheaters and liars than those fancy corporate types. Francis knew all the ways his mates would try to screw him and was ready for them, not so these suited arseholes.

That was until he met Francesca. They were both suckered for each others dangerously attractive looks, and began a relationship based on passion and the need to discover exactly who had seduced whom. She was a company girl, but had a scoundrel's heart. Together they used her corporate contacts and Francis's street contacts to run scam after scam. She worked the books and the computers, he found the lads and did the leg work. While Francis has avoided joining any group, he has contacts among most of the 'secret' societies.

Eventually Francis and Francesca got married, eloping in a whirlwind ceremony. The time they spent together was just one long wild ride. However, the last job they did went wrong and Francis got caught. Francesca was nowhere near and escaped arrest due to lack of evidence. They only hassled her because of her connection to Francis. She had maintained distance from the job, but Francis was the one caught with his hands in the till. So they put him away, which he was ready to accept. But while Francis was in prison Francesca sent papers to sign for divorce, and never once even visited! Pissed off with her lawyers Francis signed the papers and let it go.
