The character "Colin Sullivan" is based directly on the character "Lau Kin Ming" in the "Infernal Affairs" film trilogy.
Colin grew up in the Southie Projects. As a child, he was very religious, an exception student, and a good person. But when he was 12 years old, he met Irish mob boss Frank Costello, who became his father figure and changed the course of his life.
