Early Life
He was often beaten up by his stepfather before he ran away. He met Daniel Sullivan sometime later when he almost pick pocketed him. The two became best friends and looked out for each other.

Titanic 1: Unsinkable
He and Daniel got into a fight after meeting Andrew S., the ingenior of the Titanic. Daniel wanted to show him his sketches, but unfortunately he couldn't by time; some hours before the Titanic left from Belfast & before Daniel could have show his stuff, Paddy stole a wallet from whom he thought was the Prince of Wales. Unfortunately, it turned out to be from Kevin Gilhooley, the younger brother of the notorious gangster James Gilhooley. Paddy found that out when he tried to spend one of the banknotes, even though Daniel told him not to. Paddy gave chase and ran to Daniel. The two tried to get away,but the Gilhooleys killed Daniel and Paddy barely escaped.

He decided to hide in sort of roll of cotton who was put on Titanic. He became so a stowaway on it,& since Daniel got killed, he didn't have any reason to not left Belfast so he decided to stay in it. He was on it before even the entire crew was there, so he tried to become a false steward by signing up a official paper which was used to take the attendance of each member of the crew. But, before he could do that, he met Alfie Huggins, a steward.

After a kind of confrontation, they decided to become allies. Alfie would nourrish him&help him to hide till the end of journey & Paddy would just be discrete. Unfortunately it didn't work, some officer of the Titanic noticed his presence & try to search him. We also notice after that that the Gilhooleys were on board of the boat, & they will do every thing to kill Paddy.

He also met Julianna Glamm & Sophie Bronson, two rich girls that Alfie takes care of, by accident after that this one (Alfie) takes them to the lodges, where Paddy's hiding place was. After an altercation between them, Alfie confesses to the girls that he is hiding Paddy. Although dissatisfied with this news (especially Juliana because Sophie has more pity than anything else towards Paddy), they agree to keep Paddy's existence as a secret. Thus their relationship with four then begins quite tense.

At the end of the story, Daniel was working as a slave for James Gilhooley and his gang.
