Clip McElhaney

Clip (formally Roseclip) McElhaney was a member of the crew of Philomena, at the time of the Philomena Uprising.

Background
Born in Misericordiae, McElhaney’s mother passed away when he was only about seven years old. Escaping the grip of his alcoholic father, young McElhaney joined a crew of similar lost boys who roamed the streets of Misericordiae by day and made shelter in the old city’s many holes and corners at night. It was at this time that McElhaney first met Nolan Paschal, who became a friend for life. Like most of the other boys, McElhaney shined shoes, delivered packages, and did manual labor until he was of an age to join a ship’s crew, at which point he learned the trade of airmanship.

Appearance and Manner
McElhaney is small but wiry, with a bald head, a ready gap-toothed smile, and a quick wit. Quick to both love and anger, he’s a man known to begin fights and settle them. He also enjoys a good song and a good joke, the saltier the better. He is known to accompany himself on banjo.
