History
Despite his legendary standing in Edger history, Kevin’s reputation has dimmed since the battle for Night City. Born Ardal Mullaney, Kevin was an Irish émigré and Republican terrorist who fled to America with fellow IRA member Dylan Murphy to escape the deadly retaliation of British Special Forces earned for a high profile bombing campaign on the mainland. With the net closing on him, Kevin spent his last Euro on a false passport and ran for the sympathetic Irish-American community in Boston, where he later joined the seminary, took orders, and began a new life under his newly assumed name.

Kevin, always an impassioned and charismatic orator, campaigned tirelessly across the US for the cause of Irish liberation, addressing community groups and petitioning sympathetic members of Congress while secretly accumulating funds from armchair Irish Republicans across the country for a promised future uprising in the Old Country.

Eventually, Kevin was investigated by the IRS and spent a little time in prison. But his fund kept growing, tended by his supporters. By the time he was released, he was ready to start buying arms for shipment back to Ireland. The guns were easy to find, but for all the financial support he was offered there was very little will to help the cause directly by taking up arms. Kevin had enough guns to invade China, but no hands to put them in.

Kevin settled in Night City in 2016, a tired and dejected man. It had been ten years since he had first escaped to the U.S. and he despaired of ever returning to Ireland. He mothballed his weapons and took over the care of the Holy Angel’s church in Northside as its priest. He fast became the core of the impoverished community, as he turned his attention from revolutionary matters to humanitarian ones; spending his gun money on community projects and raging impotently at the increasingly desperate situation faced by everyday Americans.

The 4th C War gave Kevin his fighting spirit back. He’d hoped to use the Northside uprising as a spark to ignite a revolutionary fire across America, freeing folk from the economic prison imposed by the MegaCorps and the feeble and corrupt Federal government. But Dylan Murphy, as the story goes, had other ideas.

Unable to remain in Night City due to his increasing antipathy toward Dylan, Kevin has grown increasingly radical. He now lives in the Tijuana enclave in self-imposed exile, but even in his old age he is still an intensely active political spokesperson for a small but fanatical number of Edgers who believe that his vision of a global revolution is not only right but absolutely necessary in order to create the perfect society that mankind has been denied. He travels the enclaves of America, a tall, imposing, patrician in shabby priest’s robes, with cropped silver hair and hands cluttered with Nu-Cybe rings, preaching that the founding of the AltCult was only the first step, the training ground for an army that will liberate America. For Kevin’s New Revolutionaries, the edge isn’t far enough: They intend to go beyond it, to shape a new world.
