Keller Brogdin
Age: approaching fifty
Gender: Male
Occupation: Musician/Philanthropist
Family: Two sons (Welsh and Quinn), Brother (Jude)
Nationality: Northern Irish
I'm having character problems and I need some outside opinions. I'm currently writing a novel, the title I'm going to keep to myself for copyright reasons.
One of my characters is supposed to be a really good man. Keller's a Philanthropist rock star with a penchant for charitable causes and a tendency to have a high opinion of himself. At least that's how the world sees him. The real Keller Brogdin is a shell of the man he's been, and even then he was never the man that the world believed him to be. Keller's actually self-destructive, and consumed by guilt from his past. Keller's recently lost his wife and three of his youngest children in a violent crime. He feels guilty because of the fact that he wasn't there to protect them. Later in the novel the reader will find out that Keller has ties to the IRA. My question is, do you think this novel can have a happy ending? Can a former terrorist live happily ever after, even after mending his ways?
Ah, yes the moral conundrum. I want to thank all of you who answer, Axle.
