Colin Mahoney

Colin Mahoney, born Cóilín Ó Mathúna, is the amaurotic father of Paige Mahoney. Previously a forensic pathologist, he currently works for SciSORS. He has two degrees, one of which is in clinical biochemistry.

History
Colin was once a forensic pathologist that did a lot of work for the Gardaí, Ireland's police force before Scion took over Ireland. He was conscripted by SciSORS when Paige was eight and the two were forced to move to the Scion Citadel of London. He was asked to find a scientific explanation for why people become clairvoyant and why spirits linger after death. Paige notes bitterly that he believes clairvoyance to be an illness that can be cured. He currently lives in a government-appointed apartment in the Barbican, which is part of I-5. As far as Paige knows, he is unaware of her clairvoyance.

The Pale Dreamer
When Paige left school, she told her father that she was living with a friend and looking for a job in the service industry. He is disappointed that she has decided against applying to the university. However, Paige knows he would be even more disappointed if he knew the truth, that she has joined the clairvoyant syndicate and is a member of the Seven Seals.

The Song Rising
In order to trap Paige, Hildred Vance executes Colin on television. Paige is heartbroken over his death. She blames herself and feels guilty, especially because Colin had no idea who Paige really is and yet died because of who she is.

Physical Description
Colin has red hair that is flecked with gray and is described as resembling Paige's cousin Finn McCarthy. Paige remarks that she looks nothing like him. He has faint lines cupping his mouth.

Personality
Colin is a man of habit. For example, he always likes to have a coffee after his shift at work, and almost always at Bobbin's Coffee. He is a very distant and hands-off parent. As long as Paige had her phone, he'd been content to let her wander the streets of London, even at a young age.
