Ian ‘Burkie’ Burke

Officer Danny Corrigan

Danny Corrigan was never a popular lad in school. He would go out of his way to snitch on those around him and then was suprised when he’d get bullied, and now has become a Garda to bully people right back. He has high opinion of himself. Thinks he’s a supercop in a city tangled in crime when in reality he’s the only other Guard in a small village with an incompetent Sergeant.

Sergeant Jim Keaton

Sarah is a gifted makeup and special effects artist with a love for horror. She’s a little bit mad and is willing to go to extremes much like her brother Mark.
