PERSONALITY: Ronan grew up as a street thief. As such, he has a particular perspective on the world that is often not shared by those who come from higher social backgrounds. He brings his experience from his rough childhood into his work as a detective for the Salem Police Department. Ronan himself is a man of strong resolve, having endured 'beatdowns, backstabbing, disrespect most people wouldn't see in ten lifetimes'. Despite his many years in the force, Ronan was disliked by many policemen, mostly Baxter, due to his criminal past, which extends to 2 accounts of grand theft auto, grand larceny, assault with a lethal weapon, etc. It is clear that Ronan has endured many hardships and has been hardened and embittered by them. Before getting killed, Ronan seemed to have an arrogant and overconfident streak to him, as he disregarded orders for backup and preferred to catch the hooded figure himself, something that ultimately led to his death and his entrapment in Dusk.

ABILITIES:

• He can teleaport over ghost barriers.
• He can make certain objects appear for him, and he can see things that normal people can. He sees things that used to be there that aren't anymore.
• Being a detective in life helps him have the powers of a detective in his ghost life. So he can reveal things that other people don't really think about or check.
• He can phase through walls once he is in the building, but he is unable to phase through outer walls. Only if a door or window is left open.

INTIMACY/SEXUAL HABITS: Since he has been dead, he has developed a tendency to watch people and linger on them if he is interested in them. He is a bit of a voyeur now. When it comes to someone he is interested in, he would like to whisper sweet nothings into their ear and help guide them through the masturbation process. Sometimes, as far as going to possessing them and influncing them image of himself to them if it is needed.

BACKSTORY: When Ronan was born, his mother was questioned about his birth name. At a young age, he stole a man's wallet, which gave him his first tattoo on his right arm. In his teens, he was stabbed by a man when he attempted to steal his car, but survived, giving him a tattoo of a grim reaper with the words 'Cheated Death' on it. Also in his teens, he had single-handedly beaten up three men, all taller than him, presumably undercover cops, before walking away. He was soon arrested for assault and battery of a civilian, two counts of grand theft auto, grand larceny, and assault with a deadly weapon, all of which he was given tattoos for. Ronan soon became a cop after Rex removed his files and kept them hidden. His mother gave him a gun at some point, which he kept with him his whole life. Ronan was also married to a woman named Julia, who was Rex's sister, giving him a tattoo of two roses and a tattoo, saying 'Forever'. Julia was soon killed while trying to break up a fight between two men, three years before the events of the game, causing one of the rose tattoos to go black. Baxter makes threats towards him, which Ronan scoffs at. As Baxter shoves Ronan's record in his face, threatening to blackmail him, Rex comes in, making Baxter back off, causing Ronan to get a tattoo of a bird behind bars.

Ronan gets a call about a break-in in a top-floor apartment. Disregarding calling for backup, he attempted to apprehend the Bell Killer by himself, only to be thrown around the room, lose his childhood gun, and be thrown out the window. As Ronan tries to shoot the Bell Killer, he lands on the ground and has some flashbacks of his childhood. Ronan soon starts hallucinating and wakes up, thinking he is still up, and decides to go back to the apartment. Upon finding the doorknob not moving, the door is soon opened, forcing Ronan back, and an old woman gets shocked at something before closing the door. Ronan turns to see his body, and upon seeing himself open his eyes, Ronan attempts to get back in his body, and the Bell Killer soon appears. Ronan attempts to grab the service weapon that fell next to him when he was thrown out the window, but it easily passes through him as the Bell Killer soon picks it up and fires seven times into Ronan's right lung, killing him. He is now a ghost looking to find out who murdered him.

NPCS/CONNECTIONS:

• Baxtor: Baxtor was the one who was on the bell killer's case before Ronan was. He ended up being used as one of Abagail's puppets.

• Abagail Williams: Abigail was a young adult woman at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. Although it is not clear if she had some sort of spiritual powers when alive, it is implied that she may have been a medium during her lifetime, whether or not she knew it.

At the time, for reasons not explained in the game, the authorities seemed to greatly rely on her accusations of people who supposedly practiced witchcraft. Aware of this, her cruel father used it to his own advantage, forcing her, even torturing her by dunking, to regard his personal enemies as witches and report them. As a result, she became obsessed with persecuting witches. Eventually, the authorities grew afraid of the traumatized girl and took her into custody, near the end of the Witch Trials period.

In 1692, the government extinguished the Witch Trials and ordered the release of all people accused of witchcraft. However, the judge of the district of Salem concluded that even under pressure and torture, the young Abigail wouldn't give up on her desire to persecute those she believed to be witches. Afraid of what the girl was capable of doing if released, the judge ordered her death.

In 1693, before she was brought to the gallows, Abigail drew a symbol of a bell on the floor of the cell and cursed the city through it, promising to purge the town of all witches, even if it takes the rest of eternity to do so.
