♕ headcanon . Eirene's main connections for her RGG/Yakuza verse

For interactions set in the RGG/Yakuza verse (and which is likely to be the basis for any other modern verses set in the 21th century as opposed to the timeline where Path to Nowhere takes place), Eirene is the daughter of Bryce Campbell, an Irish mafia boss.

She is one of the many children by Bryce, born to Thalia Kane - Bryce's 3rd wife, and murdered on unproved and ungrounded suspicions of infidelity, created by Bryce's constant paranoia about those surrounding him (however the incident was staged as a car accident for all purposes). Her inner circle is composed of four individuals, which Eirene trusts completely and who may exercise influence in her decisions and/or be written as minor NPCs as required.

Desmond Keane (maternal uncle): Desmond is the older brother to Thalia, Eirene's mother, who died while Eirene was a kid (around 7 years old). Despite not being from a highly conventional family himself, Desmond never really liked Bryce and always suspected that Thalia was killed by her husband. He's always been close to Eirene and is more of a father figure than Bryce, but doesn't share his status or wealth. He follows Eirene to Japan because he has no ties to Ireland anymore (considering that all his other relatives have passed) and because he wishes to protect/keep an eye out for his niece in the new land.

Cormac O'Donnell (butler): A long-time Campbell employee who ended up following Eirene around; out of the Campbell children, she was always his favorite (mostly because he's also a chess player, a hobby Eirene inherited from her mother and which she continued to hone and improve with Cormac). He's extremely polite, devoted to the family and knows a great deal of secrets involving the family - including things Bryce is not aware that he knows, thanks to the butler's own connections outside the Campbells. He was sent to Japan to watch Eirene on Bryce's orders, but in fact follows Eirene's orders over her father's (particularly after confirming that Bryce had his 3rd wife - Eirene's mother - assassinated).

Muriel Higgins (personal assistant): A hard-working, energic and no non-sense personal assistant who Eirene met during her college years; a few years younger than Eirene, but not nearly enough for them to not share the same references and tastes in relation to hobbies, fashion sense and other things. Muriel was impressed by Eirene's ambition and drive - and once she got a job offer from her former college colleague after graduating, she took it without hesitation. Muriel is a fierce believer in Eirene's plans and thinks no one can stop her boss - and will do everything in her power to ensure their success.

Saoirse Monaghan (bodyguard): Growing up, almost every Campbell child was assigned a bodyguard to protect them against external threats, a task that usually was performed by Bryce. However, after the incident which led to Thalia's death, Desmond himself took charge of securing someone of his trust to look after Eirene, and hired Saoirse - a capable and discreet woman he had met during previous jobs. With a past in the government-led agencies and then working for the private sector, Desmond ensured an exclusive contract with her while Eirene was but a teenager - and Saoirse has followed the young lady since. She's Eirene's teacher for self-defense purposes, including minimal skills with firearms, daggers and knives, some close-combat techniques (mostly krav-maga), as well as riding (cars, bikes and horses - there was the intention of teaching Eirene how to fly a jet or a chopper, but they never got to it).
