Background: Sean Patrick O’Malley was born to Irish immigrant parents in New York, in 1894. O’Malley, the oldest of four children, spent most of his life in Hell’s Kitchen. His father worked in the rail yards and his mother stayed at home taking care of the children. O’Malley grew up fast. As a teen he got involved in the gangs. He was a member of the Dead Rabbits.
When O’Malley was 20, he was drafted into the Army and sent to Europe to fight in the Great War, he was stationed with the Fighting 69th. O’Malley served as an Infantryman, fighting the Germans. It was here that he met Father Frank Duffy. Duffy was a Chaplain in the unit, and a hero to the men. During the war, Duffy didn’t have much impact on O’Malley’s life…not more than any of the other men. O’Malley went to Mass and all, but never really thought much of it, no more than anyone else anyway…after all, everyone in a foxhole believes in God.
It was later in O’Malley’s life that Father Duffy would have an impact on him, after the war and after he had returned to Hell’s Kitchen. O’Malley had returned to New York, a veteran and a grown man. Upon returning however, it wasn’t long before he settled back into his same patterns, running with the gangs and getting himself in trouble. It was here that Father Duffy reached out to him.
After the war, Father Duffy had also returned to New York and the Catholic Church decided he would be a good fit to lead the congregation in Hell’s Kitchen, after all, he had proven he was capable of functioning in a war zone. Duffy made it a point to reach out to the soldiers he had served in Europe with. O’Malley was one of these men. Initially, O’Malley spurned the Father’s efforts, but after a few months he began to see the fruitlessness of his current endeavors. Father Duffy mentored him and helped him turn his life around. A year later, O’Malley made the decision to join the Priesthood.
O’Malley took well to his new line of work. Duffy had helped open his eyes and the Lord’s teachings spoke to his heart. While O’Malley was away at seminary though, tragedy struck again. O’Malley’s sister disappeared. Her body was later found in the river, mutilated.
O’Malley was grief stricken, but he didn’t let the event steer him from his course. He continued his studies and graduated seminary. The New York Diocese placed him in Hell’s Kitchen, working with Father Duffy. Once back home, Father O’Malley began investigating the circumstances surrounding his sister’s death. Apparently some cult had been suspected of her murder. He began to look into things, hoping to find the perpetrators. It was here that he met Jackson Elias, a famed author on the subject of death cults. O’Malley dug into research, using connections around the city and resources of the church. He learned quite a bit, and even suspects he knows of the cult that was responsible for his sister’s death.
In his studies he was able to uncover a few different cults, exposing them to authorities, and helping where he could. Hi research drew some attention from the church. He has recently been placed in an assignment that allows him more freedom to conduct his research. His main duty now is to research cults and other odd happenings for the church and to document and report his findings. O’Malley is happy with his new assignment; it gives him an opportunity to help those like his sister, perhaps helping avoid future tragedies. The brutal killing of his sister still haunts him and he still searches to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
