Your Character
In Chapter 1, you witness them killing Sean Kelly. They hear sounds coming from your phone but before they can find you, a patrol car appears and they flee the scene of the crime. When you talk to Marshal Otto about them, you tell him that they looked like they were having fun.

In Chapter 8, at your lighthouse gift shop job, you run into Killian and his daughter, Aisling. In Chapter 12, they force Tomas Otto to give them your location in exchange for not harming his family. Their goons chase you from Nantucket to the mainland, and when you arrive there in Chapter 13, you run into Maeve who shoots at you, but Cassian blocks the shot and gets injured as a result.

Marshal Keane
In Chapter 9, Marshal Keane admits to knowing the O'Connells. When he/she worked for the Boston Police Department, Keane spent a year undercover with the Irish Mob. They made Keane do things he/she does not want to describe, but made him/her want to join the Marshals afterwards. Keane feels that his/her time with them gives him/her insight into their patterns and their way of thinking.

Aisling
She is their daughter and first appears in Chapter 8. So far, she has only been shown interacting with Killian. He initially appears to be a reasonable father, telling her to apologize for throwing a tantrum. His nickname for her is "princess." When she wants the compass, he offers a great sum of money despite being told it's a museuem exhibit not for sale. It's demonstrated that Killian heavily spoils Aisling, which has lead to her expecting to get her way all the time. They are implied to be extremely close, as Aisling gives you a hateful look after you testify against the O'Connells. She is angry when she meets Killian in his cell, hating how he's treated as a zoo animal. It's revealed that they're planning to get revenge with her making you and Cassian pay with blood.
