An accomplished cat burglar with a hoverboard of mysterious source (but definitely stolen). He specializes in art ransom, especially from Alex Bannon, who both has the money and patience to pay the requested ransom on time.

It's a formula to destroy any trace evidence that also doesn't damage the art. Ellie is still annoyed he beat her at the theft of the golden cube.
Orhan, Kellinore, Alandrea, and Sharinia Sinclair are a close knit family of unknown origin. Orhan is the eldest. Kellinore and Alandrea are twins. Shari is Alandrea's daughter.

They are pale skinned with blue eyes, straight black hair, and expensive tastes.
Kellinore runs the day to day business of the Sirens' Dream with Alandrea helping when she can. Orhan handles the shadier side of the business.
They have a large pool of loyal people in the organization and Orhan has implied that they acquire these people at their lowest points, and build them up over time.
