Sean Robins

A rougishly good-looking young man in his 30’s.  If the Character group is short-handed, Sean could join them, but keep in mind, his own safety and his agenda (getting the locket) are paramount.  He will cut and run from the group if the situation gets too dangerous.  Sean may also be putting in an appearance later in the adventure in a more adversarial role.
