The Kinsmen were organized to be "Ireland's answer to the Avengers." On their first
(and apparently only) mission, they were dispatched to bring in Sean Cassidy, aka the Banshee, for
a long overdue debriefing. Arriving at Cassidy Keep, the Kinsmen were greeting by Cassidy's daughter
Theresa, aka Siryn. The were handily defeated by Siryn, who followed up the act by destroying their
high-tech, multi-million dollar transport helicopter. They haven't been seen since.
Using The Kinsmen in Your Campaign: An Irish character could be opposed (or perhaps recruited?)
by the Kinsmen, as their sense of national heroics is a bit...skewed.
