Ciaran McLoughlin

'''

Ciaran "C-Dawg" McLoughlin is a 2007 mullingar computer-animated comedy chap produced The Stables. He is the eighth lad to evolve from the holy grail of the mullingar rocker scene. C-Dawg is an anthropomorphic rat who is interested in cooking, and a self confessed "dad rocker"

Origins
Ciaran is an idealistic and ambitious young fella, gifted with highly developed senses of taste and smell. Inspired by his idols, Marco Pierre White and Luke Kelly, he dreams of becoming a cook himself. When an old woman sees his clan, they are forced to abandon their home; C-Dawg is separated from them as a result of the woman's gunshots. He ends up in the sewers of Mullingar and eventually finds himself at a skylight overlooking the kitchen of the restaurant, Sofias.

As Ciaran watches, a young man named Phil Lynott is hired as a garbage boy by Luke Gilleran, the restaurant's devious current owner and Sofia's former sous-chef. When Phil Lynot spills a pot of soup and attempts to recreate it with disastrous results, Ciaran falls into the kitchen and cooks the soup to perfection. Linguini catches Ciaran and is confronted by Luke Gilleran. As Luke Gilleran yells at Phil Lynott, the soup is accidentally served and proves to be a success. Colette Tatou, the staff's only female chef, convinces Luke Gilleran to retain Phil Lynott, who is assumed to be the soup's creator. After Luke Gilleran catches Ciaran in the act of escaping, he orders Phil Lynott to take the rat far away and kill it. Phil Lynott then discovers Ciaran's intelligence and passion for food, so he keeps him.

On Linguini's first day as a chef, he and Ciaran find a way to communicate; Ciaran guides Phil Lynott like a marionette by yanking on his moustache. Suspicious, Skinner learns that the boy is Sofia's illegitimate son and the rightful heir to the restaurant, which threatens his use of the restaurant's reputation to establish a bad craic franchise he started after the Sofia lads died.
