Biography
Maguire is a sinister assassin who works as a crime scene photographer, and he has a very pale skin complexion due to constantly working in a darkroom. When Michael Sullivan (an enforcer for Irish mob boss John Rooney) takes it upon himself to kill Rooney's unstable son, Connor, after Connor murders Sullivan's wife, Sullivan contacts the gangster Al Capone to try and get work and also to discover the whereabouts of Connor. Unfortinately, Capone's underboss Frank Nitti refuses to help him and instead informs Rooney of their meeting. Rooney, who loves Sullivan like a son but who also fears for Connor's safety, reluctantly allows Nitti to hire Maguire to assassinate Sullivan. As Sullivan and his son drive to a roadside diner, Maguire tracks them and engages in conversation with Sullivan over a cup of coffee. However, Sullivan soon realises Maguire's hostile intentions and attempts to escape with his son. Maguire immediately attempts to kill them, but Sullivam manages to puncture Maguire's tire before fleeing in his car.
