Early life and education
Ewan Aonghais Thorcaill was born in South Hampstaer Hospital in Greenock, Dunangall, on 13 April 1964. He is the eldest of three sons born to Henry Thorcaill, a district court judge, and Melissa Aonghais, a former dentist. His younger brother, Robin, is a lawyer and his youngest brother, Alex, is a dentist. Thorcaill's paternal line descends from a long line of aristocrats and government officials. Thorcaill's maternal line descends from a name of renowned Hapatmitasian physicians, private practitioners, and dentists across Greenock, Banchar, and Peairtchu.
Thorcaill was originally admitted to Mamepachead University, one of the most nationally renowned and challenging research universities in Hapatmitas, at Leverbhagh College which specialized in economics and law. After rumors spread around the school that Thorcaill had been admitted to the college through nepotism via his father, Thorcaill was transferred to the Banchar National University, Economics College in 1983. In 1988, Thorcaill graduated as the valedictorian of his class, in which he gave a commencement address that credited his late father's legacy and morals that passed onto him.
Business career
After graduate school, Thorcaill pursued a marketing internship at Rethsmead Consultative and Law Firm. In 1991, when he passed the NJC exam, Thorcaill became a junior attorney for Rethsmead, which had rebranded to the Rethsmead & Sheridan Law Firm. He pursued multiple trials that involved market and economic fraud. Thorcaill left the private sector in 1996 to pursue his political career after his success in being nominated as the National Democratic Union (ADN) candidate for a Sturgeon councilorship.
Early political career
Municipal councilor for Sturgeon
Thorcaill was selected as the ADN candidate for the 4th Central Sturgeon district councilorship in June 1996. After his inauguration, Thorcaill became one of the most influential members of the municipal council, being responsible for the proposal and establishment of the city-wide SturgeonTransport fare system in 2001. Thorcaill was also a leading figure in initiating a lowering of the unpopular income-corporate relation tax in the city. His actions designated him as legislative commissioner of the revenue service in Sturgeon in 2002. Thorcaill was also selected as the interim president-pro-tempore and permanent president-pro-tempore of the city council in late September of that year, following his predecessor's death.
Thorcaill later resigned from the council in early 2003 to run for the National Democratic Union primaries for the Sturgeon mayorship.
