World of Redemption

Colm is a lean, hardened man in his late forties, with long, greasy grey hair and a grizzled stubble covering a weathered, ashen complexion. He typically wears a black double-breasted waistcoat with gold buttons over a white pinstriped shirt, accessorized with a dark patterned neckerchief. His trousers are dark and worn, matching his weathered leather gloves that often hang fingerless. A black hat with a snakeskin band casts a harsh shadow over his cold, sharp features. Never far from his revolver or sawed-off shotgun, he carries the quiet menace of a man who values loyalty only to his own and views lives—including his men’s—as expendable.

Colm is calculating, merciless, and unflinchingly cruel. He values power and fear’s control over human hearts and minds, recruiting in volume rather than skill—any gunhand who can ride and kill will do. He embodies an unapologetic brutality: orders torture without hesitation, tolerates atrocities, and treats even his own men as disposable tools. His vendetta against Dutch is both soulful and strategic, using emotional weight to fuel violence and manipulation. In public, he favors intimidation and blunt speech, but is capable of planning elaborate traps—such as staging truces to entangle enemies.

Colm O’Driscoll founded the O’Driscoll Boys around 1889, initially allied with Dutch’s group until a personal tragedy fractured their partnership. When Dutch killed Colm’s brother, Colm responded by murdering Dutch’s lover Annabelle—a blood debt that would ignite a savage, ongoing feud. Under his command, the O’Driscolls grew into a sprawling criminal force across multiple territories, renowned for indiscriminate violence and large-scale recruitment. Convicted of murder twice, Colm escaped both hangings—until he was finally captured, tried, and hanged in Saint Denis after Dutch and Arthur betrayed his rescue attempt. His death marked the collapse of his brutal empire.
