FAMILY

BRIEF HISTORY
The Donahue family traces their landed status back to the Donahues of Lancashire in the 16th century. While by many accounts they are still "New Money", the family has done their best to fall in line with the more traditional aristocracy of England. One of these concessions has been the purchase of sprawling, money-guzzling estates. Keaghan Donahue spent his childhood on one of these estates on the south-eastern coast of England. His father, Walter, had married the daughter of a very successful Western Canadian
business man who had previous familial ties to England. They had two children together, Keaghan and Felix.
During his childhood, Keaghan and his family spent half of their year on the south coast of England and the other half at a very private, sizeable lake in central Quebec. Keaghan stopped vacationing with his family in Canada after he was sent to a boarding school on the continent. He launched into a Cambridge degree straight out of school and although he graduated in Britain, he sat the bar exam in the US.
Currently, Keaghan has been living on Isle of Palms for a few years, practicing corporate law with some additional private, personal clients in addition to his work in business. He remains in frequent communication with his remaining family back in England and his brother in Canada. His mother passed away three years before he moved to the island and he has not been physically back home since her funeral. He lives by himself on a hot property with an ocean view on the north end of the island; however, up until recently he has not spent much time there. Before last year, his predominant area of business had been on the mainland and so he had spent most of the months out of the year in various metropolitan centres across the US. In May of 2008 he settled more permanently on the island, having picked up a few more clients closer to home.
In practice, Keaghan Donahue only represents who he believes to be the cream of the crop--for example, his
fellow residents on the north end of the island. He is very fond of his fortune and of flaunting it, living more
lavishly on family money than on anything he makes from his law firm. His firm, Donahue, Kelleher & Flynn, is predominantly present in mainland America with some peripheral offices in both Canada and Europe. The flagship office, however, is in the process of being moved to Isle of Palms for Keaghan's benefit. Although he teleconferences often with his two other partners, he has not met with them in person over the past year.
Keaghan's developing reticence in regards to the mainland and his partners comes in part from the development of his power. He has chosen to stay put and explore his own capabilities before venturing back into the larger pool of things.
POWER
Keaghan's skin is impenetrable. That is not to say that he is in any way invincible. He has spent a considerable number of months attempting to gain some iota of control over when and how his skin becomes impenetrable. At the moment, Keaghan needs to be consciously trying to alter the quality of his skin in order for it to become impenetrable. Once it is impenetrable, however, nothing can graze or pierce him. Other methods of attack, like gas, poison, strangulation, and some blunt trauma still affect him. He certainly has experiments with trying to step on nails, slice his own skin, and with bullet shots to the hand and was pleased to find that nothing actually pierced his skin. The bullet, however, did leave a nasty shock to his nerves and he lost sensation and proper coordination of that hand for a few days, although there
was no internal bleeding.
