Flynn O'Malley

Flynn O'Malley, a character in the Veil of Secrets book, is Kate's older brother and one of your love interets. He makes his first appearance in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Flynn has dark brown, messy hair and blue, piercing eyes. His skin is light, and he has a stubble. Flynn wears a black, partially unbuttoned t-shirt, and his left arm is covered in a black tattoo which stretches all the way up to his collarbone.

Personality
Not much is known about Flynn at the moment. What can be said is that he is protective, especially over his sister Kate, but also over Your Character, shown when he calls Bryce out for his verbal treatment of said character. He's mostly calm, but can easily flare up if he believes someone is being unjust in their behaviour, as when Tommy decides not to investigate Kate's disappearance. He has little faith in the Criminal Justice system given that Pierce Sterling pressured the judge to give him an unfair sentence.

Biography
During the fourth chapter, if you investigate Tanner's yacht with Flynn, Flynn will tell you that when he was 18, he carjacked Bryce Sterling's car as payback for Bryce keying his. He states he intended to return the car, but before he could, a judge - whom Flynn suspected was under Sterling influence - sentenced him to six years in prison. This explains Flynn's hatred of Bryce and part of his discontentment with Kate's engagement, as she is engaged to the brother of the man who ruined her brother's life.

He and Your Character meet for the first time in the first chapter, the latter noting that Kate never mentioned Flynn, presumably due to his criminal background. He is distraught to discover Kate's disappearance. At the end of the third chapter, Your Character discovers a masked figure attempting to break into Kate's apartment; in the fourth chapter, this figure is shown to be Flynn. Both he and Your Character got the idea to investigate the apartment for clues.

During the investigation, they discover that Kate suspected Tanner of cheating on her, and that she planned to go to Tanner's yacht to look for proof. Flynn goes off to investigate his yacht, and if you spend diamonds you can tag along with him. There, they discover Tanner dead, his throat slit.

Kate O'Malley
Kate is his little sister. Although they are not very close, he still shows concern when Kate disappears. In chapter 4, it was revealed that he used to read for her when they were younger.

Your Character
Flynn first meets your character during the rehearsal dinner the evening before Kate's wedding. He confides in your character with his worries about Kate and her disappearance, and he says he understands why Kate likes your character so much, if you choose to bring him ice after his fight with Bryce.

Bryce Sterling
Bryce keyed Flynn's car when Flynn was 18, which lead to him stealing Bryce's car for revenge. Bryce's father managed to convince the court to give Flynn a higher sentence than usual, which lead to Flynn spending six years in prison. Bryce later attacked Flynn at Kate's wedding day.

Trivia

 * He bears a resemblance to American actor Ian Somerhalder.
 * In the 4th sneak peak, he is labeled as an ex-convict.
 * In Chapter 4, it is revealed that he was arrested for Grand Theft Auto. He also stole Bryce's car as retaliation for Bryce keying his car earlier on.
 * This gives him a similarity to Chris Powell, who committed the same type of crime before the start of The Freshman series, with the only difference being that Flynn went to prison for six years while Chris avoided jail time and got away with it being put on his criminal record.
