Conor O’Malley grew up on the wrong side of the tracks – dirt poor in the ethnic Irish area of South Boston.  He always displayed a fantastic ability with math and numbers, but his economic circumstances did not allow for the Ivy League education he wanted.  He got his education at community colleges and state universities.  While a student, he would participate in competitions centered around math, finance and stock training and routinely crush competition from elite prep schools and Ivy League colleges.  He is jealous that he has proved himself so much smarter than they, yet is held back by the economic circumstances of his birth.  He has a grudge as only an Irish-American Southie can, but he is smart enough to keep this under wraps.  It motivates him, but never comes out as anger.<br/><br/>He was hired by Sayid to keep the books after Sayid noticed his financial acumen.  Conor works evenings at the club while attending graduate school, getting an MBA in finance.  He has begun to notice that some of the regulars, and many of the men visiting from out of town, are high rollers in the corporate world – men with information that moves stocks and makes them rich.<br/><br/>Given Name:<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Verdana;">Conor O’Malley                                                        </span><br/>Nickname(s):Conor<br/>Gender: male<br/>Age:  28<br/>Height: 6 foot<br/>Weight: 225<br/>Hair color/style: redish brown<br/>Eye color:green<br/>Clothing style: The best  suits<br/>Hopes/desires: To make his first million by 30<br/>Fears/phobias: Nuns and priests;  The Securities and Exchange commission<br/>Dirty Secrets: loves to be teased.  Loves lace, hi heels and stockings.  Loves aggressive women<br/>Introvert or extrovert?: introvert, in many ways a classic nerd<br/>More thinking or feeling?:Thinking<br/>Tends to be self centered?
