## Biography

### Early Life

Siobhan Boyle was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1983. Both of her parents were militant leaders in the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) and fought in the Troubles from 1972 until 1997. Siobhan was raised in this environment her entire life and spent much of her childhood moving around while her parents fought for a united Ireland. Although Siobhan didn't fight alongside her parents as a young child, she did have some involvement in the importation of American weapons, perhaps down to her intelligence and logistical skills.

In 1997, when Siobhan was just 14 years old, her parents were killed in the Troubles. Following this, Siobhan began fighting alongside the PIRA, quickly distinguishing herself as a brave, skilled child soldier. The same year she met Sean Boyle, the man she would eventually marry.

Following the PIRA's ceasefire in 1997, Siobhan, discontent, joined the Real Irish Republican Army (RIRA) and continued fighting alongside her comrades until 2007.

In 2001, at the age of 18, Siobhan married Sean Boyle, who was also a member of the RIRA, and the two continued their fight. However, a year later Sean was killed (who killed him is unknown). His death deeply impacted Siobhan and made her fight even stronger.

### Life in England

In 2007, a disillusioned Siobhan left the RIRA and fled Ireland. It's not known what, if anything, else Siobhan did to harm the RIRA, but she's very sure of the fact that she would be assassinated if she ever returned to Ireland. She headed to London where she presumably met Raul at some point.

At an unknown time, Siobhan met The Animal. She eventually became his right-hand woman and closest friend.

### Events of Vice Part One

Siobhan accompanies The Animal to Florida to collect the money owed to Steve Hearn, Phil Foreman and The Animal by The Trio and carry out an arms deal with the Rattlesnakes MC and Al-Husan. However, things go south when the Trio ambush the deal, looking to steal the weapons. Siobhan flees with The Animal but remained in Miami to collect on the money owed by the trio while The Animal went back to London. A short time later, Siobhan kidnaps Clara Bennett, Rose McClane's niece, and uses Clara to blackmail Rose, threatening to kill Clara if Rose doesn't pay up.

## Personality

Siobhan is fiercely loyal, especially to The Animal. She's an antagonistic character who seems to enjoy getting a rise out of people. Siobhan is very good with children but doesn't have any issues with harming or killing them if it's beneficial to The Animal's goals. Siobhan is indifferent to death and violence. She has no issues with harming or killing people but it doesn't seem to be something she gets pleasure from.

Siobhan is almost a motherly figure The Animal's crew, with many of them referring to her as "Mrs. Siobhan". Siobhan is well respected by those who know her and is feared even more. Many within The Animal's circle look to her for guidance, both in their criminal lives and their personal lives.

## Religious and Political Beliefs

For much of her life, Siobhan was dedicated to irredentism through Irish republicanism, the belief that all of Ireland should be an independent republic free from British rule. It's unclear if she still holds these beliefs.

Siobhan is a Catholic and holds her beliefs very closely to her. She accepts she'll go to hell for everything she's done and does feel some remorse for her actions when in church but otherwise makes no attempt to live by her religious beliefs.

## Relationships

### Friendships

#### The Animal

***"She don't hide the fact her loyalty's with The Animal, not Raul."*** *- Steve Hearn*

Siobhan is The Animal's right-hand woman and closest friend. Though it's unknown how or when they met, or why they became such close friends (especially considering Siobhan is twice The Animal's age), it is known that they've been close friends for a long time. Although they are extremely close and mildly flirtatious at times, Steve Hearn confirms to Rose McClane in Vice that the relationship between Siobhan and The Animal is not sexual and the two are just very close friends and business partners.

Despite their limited page time in Vice, statements from other characters suggest the friendship between Siobhan and The Animal is perhaps the strongest friendship in the Ima Crook Universe (ICU). Siobhan would kill and die for The Animal and The Animal would do the same for her.
