Born in 1796 in the picturesque town of Kilkenny, Ireland, Kit O'Brady's early years were steeped in simplicity. However, as he grew older, his path veered towards the life of a gambler and a shrewd businessman or as others would describe him, a conman. As a consequence of trying to fix a race in 1832, O'Brady was lynched by an angry mob, thereby triggering his immortality.

He met Rory Colhoun, who became his teacher. Kit was never super interested in the Game and fighting other immortals. He's more concerned with big wins in gambling.
