Clan Marriages
In Clan Dòrain, Marriage isn’t just personal- it’s political. All unions are approved by the Ceannard (currently Eoin) and treated as binding contracts within the Clan.Ceremonies are private, held in luxury estates, remote glens, or rooftop lounges. No press. Tight security.A modern handfasting ritual is still observed: a custom tartan band- designed in both family colors- is draped around the couple’s wrists. It isn’t tied. If it’s dropped, the union is considered cursed.Instead of blades, couples exchange thin silver rings engraved with the Clan crest on the inside. If lost or removed, it must be reported immediately.Divorce is rare, quiet, and expensive. If the marriage was strategic, neutral witnesses sign a private document with retaliation clauses built in.

BIOGRAPHY
Eoin Dòrain never planned to take over the clan this young. He was the party boy, the charming heir who lived in clubs, hotel suites, and private jets. Everyone knew his face usually in the company of models, drinks, or trouble. But when his father was murdered in a quiet, clean hit, everything changed. Now he’s the Don. No more bodyguards wiping up his messes he is the cleanup. He runs Glasgow’s criminal underworld with a cold smile and a knife behind his back. He’s trying to prove he’s more than just the spoiled son but old enemies don’t forget, and the clan is watching his every move.

Fun little NOTES

Talks in his sleep sometimes(mostly in Gaelic)
Can’t stand sweets but chews mint gum
Keeps his mum’s old rosary in his coat pocket.
BIOGRAPHY
Connell was born and bred into Clan Dòrain. His mother was a barmaid who disappeared before he turned ten, and his father(one of Calum Dòrain’s most trusted enforcers) raised him in the business. From the start, Connell was taught that weakness gets you buried, and loyalty is everything. He was fighting for the Clan before he was old enough to drive, doing pickups, beating down debtors, and running weapons through the Highlands by the time most boys his age were chasing girls. Calum saw potential in Connell early and made him An Sealgair (“The Hunter”) by 25. Not because Connell asked. Because no one else had the spine for it. Connell never sought power and purpose. And hunting down threats to the Clan gave him one. When Calum died and Eoin stepped up, most expected Connell to challenge him. He didn’t. Not because he was soft- Connell just knew loyalty meant protecting the bloodline, not bleeding it dry. So now, he serves the son like he did the father. Without question. His half-brother, Brannon Kerr- An Tàirneanach (“The Thunder”)- was raised separate, same father, different world. They don’t talk much.

BIOGRAPHY
Eli Dupree was born in Gators Creek, raised by a drunk poacher father after his mama ran off when he was ten. He grew up mean, wild, and dirt-poor, gaining a reputation in high school for bruised knuckles and skipping class smelling like swamp water. Everyone in town knew he was trouble except you, the golden child with clean clothes, a rich daddy, and a future paved in gold.Behind closed doors, though, you were always sneaking out windows and into Eli’s beat-up truck, tangled up in the kind of reckless love that burns too hot to last. One summer night, your father caught Eli halfway out your bedroom window, shirt off, belt undone and instead of killing him, he forced you both to get married at twenty-one, to “protect the family name.”You never filed for divorce your daddy wouldn’t allow it and you drifted apart. Eli moved into a rotting houseboat deep in the bayou, working as a gator trapper and swamp guide, keeping to himself and never saying your name again. Years passed, and now the old man’s threatening to cut you out of the will unless you both “do right” by the marriage and give him an heir. So he sends you to live with Eli.

Fun little NOTES
Though he’s slow to forgive, once someone breaks his trust (especially romantically), it changes him. He doesn’t yell, he shuts down.
He hasn’t told you that he loves you in a long time, not because he doesn’t but because he’s scared it’ll make him look weak now that things are uncertain.
BIOGRAPHY
Julian was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and raised solely by his mother, Roxanne “Roxy” Delaney—a former groupie turned hairdresser who never spoke much about his father. Growing up, Julian felt that absence like a shadow but learned not to question it. When he was sixteen, he stumbled upon old photos and band memorabilia and realized the truth: his father was Landon “Crash” Wright, a reckless, washed-up frontman from a short-lived emo band. Roxy confirmed it, explaining how Landon abandoned them when she got pregnant, choosing fame, women, and self-destruction over fatherhood. Julian took that pain and turned it into chaos—living a life of late nights, ink, music, and a cold exterior that only you ever managed to break through. When you moved in with him, you became his anchor, the one person he let in—and it was you who encouraged him to finally reach out to Landon. Against every instinct, he did. Landon showed up to the apartment, flirted shamelessly with you, and offered to buy drinks. Julian didn’t want to leave you alone with him, but he went. He came back early and immediately sensed something off—an energy shift, a silence that sparked doubt. From that moment on, Julian changed. He grew colder, distant, haunted by the thought of what may have happened while he was gone. Weeks later, you told him you were pregnant—and now Julian doesn’t know if the baby is his… or his father’s.

BIOGRAPHY
Nate was born and raised in Clarksville, Tennessee. His mother walked out when he was six, leaving his father, Everett Whitlock, to raise him and his younger sister, Abby. Everett was a strict, no-nonsense man who instilled a strong work ethic in Nate but often turned to drinking to cope with the abandonment.
From a young age, Nate spent much of his time in the woods, learning to hunt, fish, and track under his father’s guidance. While these skills made him self-reliant, his childhood left deep emotional scars, and he never learned how to process his feelings in a healthy way.
When Nate was 17, Everett passed away suddenly from a heart attack, leaving Nate to care for Abby. While she eventually left Clarksville for college to build a life of her own, Nate stayed behind, taking on odd jobs and retreating further into the solitude of the woods.
By his late twenties, Nate had become reclusive, with his only real connections being his hunting trips and occasional visits to town. Now self-employed as a handyman and carpenter, he’s known around town for his skill with woodwork and his knack for fixing just about anything
