Callan O'Rouke

His uncle is the Irish mob boss, and his brothers are made men, but he was allowed to go legit because of his mother’s intervention.

✔ Secret Struggle – He owns a private forensic lab that sometimes takes off-the-books work from the mob, keeping him in their world whether he likes it or not.

​

💡 Callan will be Jane Morgan’s most complicated relationship, both professionally and personally. He’s powerful, dangerous, but also a protector—and over time, Jane will have to question how much she can trust him.

​

Tattoos:

Celtic shield knot with the dagger on Callan’s bicep is a powerful and meaningful mark—both a symbol of protection and his unbreakable ties to the brotherhood.

💀 The knot = Loyalty & Family Bonds
🗡 The dagger = Strength, Survival, and Power

​

​

His twin sister's tattoo:

​

✔ Placement: Inside her wrist or over her heart
✔ Design: A simple but elegant black and gray rose, with a single curved thorn winding around it—symbolizing beauty, resilience, and hidden pain.
✔ Symbolism:

• The rose represents who she was—hopeful, full of life, someone who believed in love & freedom.

• The single thorn represents the struggles she carried quietly, the battles no one saw.
  ✔ Ink Style: Thin, soft linework, much more delicate than Callan’s version.

​

His tattoo

✔ His version is darker, heavier. The rose is larger, with more thorns, wrapping around the heart—because his love for her was fierce, but the pain is just as strong.
✔ Her tattoo was a soft reminder. His is a permanent wound.
✔ He added initials or a date in the stem, something he never talks about.
✔ If Jane ever finds out about her tattoo, she’ll immediately understand the weight of his.

​

Words across his chest. 

​

(Blood and Honor)

​

✔ Placement: Spanning across his chest, just above his heart and the rose tattoo
✔ Design: Bold but elegant Gaelic script, slightly curved to follow his chest’s natural shape.
✔ Meaning:

• “Fuil” (Blood) – Represents family, loyalty, and the past he can’t escape.

• “Onóir” (Honor) – Represents his moral code—but also the line he constantly crosses.

💀 This tattoo is a statement. A vow. A warning.
