5. Biography:

   • A regular house, an ordinary family. A father figure who was always Sean's lighthouse and anchor. Kind, full of energy, one of the best damn detectives in the precinct. Sean thought of him as a real-life Superman and was unbelievably, incredibly proud of him.
   • Sean's old man dug up dirt on the wrong people-and knowing his unshakeable principles, he was just framed at work and kicked out in disgrace. Every newspaper in town was screaming about how the police force's golden boy turned out to be rotten. The beginning of his father's alcoholism and the family falling apart.
   • Sean refuses to give up on his dad. Refuses to accept that his father broke down and gave up. He'll do everything in his damn power to clear his dad's name, playing the vigilante hacker. That's what drives him every single day.

6. Psychological profile:

• Reaction to failure/defeat:
