[b]Physical Description:[/b] Joe is heavyset, but his height (6'1) helps him carry the weight. He's on the stout side leaning close to fat. His auburn hair has streaks of grey in it and he often wears it slicked back with gel of some sort. Joe has a thick beard that is also flecked with grey in it. His outfit of choice is often some sort of comfortable pants with elastic waist -- track suit pants or basketball shorts, etc. -- and a t-shirt or tanktop. He looks like a shady guy.


[b]History:[/b]

Joe Sullivan was born in South Boston, the youngest of three children. His father, Danny, was an electrician and his mother, Irene, worked as a tollbooth worker on the Tobin Bridge. Danny and Connor, Joe's older brothers, were both model students and citizens in the community. Daniel became a prosecutor while Connor became a police officer. Joe, on the other hand, was the wildchild. He stole a car when he was thirteen and was sent to juvie. By the time he dropped out of high school at the age of fifteen, Joe had already been in and out of juvie three times. 

Joe spent the rest of his teenage years as a petty burglar and strongarm robber. The few times he got caught, one of his brother's would call in a favor and he would either walk or get a light sentence. When he was eighteen, Joe took a job as a bouncer at a bar in Southie owned by Billy Boyle, the undisputed crimelord of Boston. Billy saw promise in the big, thick kid and took him under his wing. Joe went from bouncer to enforcer overnight. Billy started him off slowly at first, just roughing up guys who owed Billy money and the occasional bagman run through the city. Six months in, Billy gave Joe a gun and told him to kill a man who was threatening to go to the cops. Joe but two bullets into the would-be snitch's head that night and his place at Billy's right hand was cemented. 

For over twenty years, Joe rode shotgun as Billy ran amok and built a criminal empire through New England. Joe developed a reputation as one of New England's most efficient hitmen. For some reason that nobody could ever explain, he got the nickname Joe the Jew. As Joe's criminal star rose, so did those of his brothers. Daniel became Suffolk County District Attorney before becoming a state senator, while Connor made rank to Superintendent, on the short list to one day become commissioner. In their three respective categories, the Sullivan Brothers were shining.

When the invasion came, Joe was in Vermont doing business for Billy. Joe was to meet their Canadian coke connection with a payment of twenty-five thousand dollars. The invasion threw the meeting to the backburner and Joe laid low in his hotel for a few days just watching and waiting to see what would happen. Eventually Joe was approached by some people who knew he had connections and knew he could help them. Realizing he could do his patriotic duty and maybe make a few bucks, Joe buried the cash for the drug deal and signed on with the resistance cell.

[b]Psychological Profile:[/b]

While not loud and obnoxious, Joe is brash and to the point with most of his conversations. He is loyal, but only to a point. Years on the street have taught him that loyalty is a word that people will use to fuck you over. Joe is not a jingoistic patriot by any means, but a life time of Cold War propaganda and his own leanings as a "business" man has made him hate communism and the Russians who fight for it. A violent man, Joe is not afraid of violence and in some cases enjoys hurting people.
