Background
_____________________________
Seán was born in Dublin Ireland on the 1st of July 1899 to Pádraig and Finnoula Casey. His father, Pádraig Casey was a Farrier who worked in the employ of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, while his mother worked as a Caretaker in the Lord Mayors estate. Seán was apprenticed to his father and became quite adept at both riding and metalworking. In the run up to the 1916 Easter Rising, Seán was recruited by the Republicans, to aid them in securing the Lord Mayors estates. Seán was trained in the use of guns and was outfitted with a rifle by the organizers of the resistance, along with a signal flare that he was instructed to use, when the gateway was secured and the resistance troops could move in.
The plan never came to fruition however, as Seán had a sudden bout of conscience and refused to carry out his part in the scheme. The Lord Mayors estates were taken and Seán received a wound in the process, but his faith was sealed. He had sided with the rebels, even though he had not taken part in the plan, and had signed his name to the cause. Sean was taken into custody and was set to receive his punishment, before the timely intervention of the Lord Mayor Gallagher who, because of Mister Caseys loyalty to the city over the years, argued for a lighter sentence for the boy.
Sean was sentenced to conscription. Shipped off to England he was enlisted in the Corps of Royal Engineers where he was trained and eventually shipped off to the front. Sean spent the remaining years of the war, thigh deep in the mud and blood of the trenches, where he grew to understand the machines and tools of war, as he had the tools of his fathers trade, or would have, had he not received orders and a transfer to the Triple U. Sean is not sure why he got his transfer and really, fighting for the Brits or for the Triple U, it is all the same to him.
