Background
Marshal Keane worked various jobs before moving to the United States from Ireland, such as cleaning out gutters, repairing air conditioning units, and fixing motorcycles. One year before his/her family left Ireland, his/her father died rescuing others during a storm. His dream was to start his own deep sea fishing business. When their visas were approved, Marshal Keane's mother decided to take all her children to the United States anyways. She did not want to stay in Ireland with the memories of her late husband and instead, wanted to move forward. However, they still own the property in Ireland and didn't sell it. Even though the area is run-down, it still stands less than 45 miles away from Galway.

Before joining the Marshals, Keane worked in the Boston Police Department's organized crime unit. He/she spent a year undercover with the O'Connells investigating the Irish mob. It was difficult in the beginning to infiltrate the family; being Irish helped, but he/she still had to do things to prove himself/herself. Those things changed Keane for a while and were the reason he/she joined the Marshals.
