Proinsias Cassidy

Cassidy, whose full name is Proinsias Cassidy, is a vampire. Cassidy joins the Irish Volunteers and takes part in the Easter Rising in 1916, though his brother William (Billy) also joins to keep watch over him. Billy eventually forces Cassidy to desert the army because of its impending failure, and Cassidy is soon bitten by a "hag", who seemingly leaves fatal injuries. His body falls into the water, and he soon learns that he is not succumbing to the injuries and that the sun burns his skin. He begins to wear sunglasses to hide his eyes, which are now blood red as part of his transformation into a vampire. He decides to travel to the United States so his family and other soldiers will believe that he is dead. He lives in the United States, picking up alcohol and drug problems and even going as far as to prostitute himself for drugs.

In the AMC Preacher TV series, Cassidy is portrayed by Joseph Gilgun. Unlike the comics, he usually appears without his trademark sunglasses.
