History: Elder Murdock's past is more enigmatic and guarded than the dirty secrets of the Bureaucrats of the Merchant's Guild. There are hundreds of stories surrounding him and his past. Most of them speak of his mask and his Zealot like attitude towards crime. Many are flights of fancy, but others could be true. He is a hard man to pin down, even if you dig through his military records. It's almost as if one day, he just.....appeared. Like a Phantom

Elder Murdock appeared 5 years ago on the banks of a port town called Hartula, but was more commonly referred to by its occupants as "Thieves Den". He had set the entire town on fire was found simply standing on the beach, staring at the fire with a small satisfied grin on his face. He seems o have been with Scarlett ever since.

A lot of people speculate why he wears the half-mask. Some believe that he was horribly burned by criminals, and burns others as retribution. Others claim it was blown off by cannon fire from a pirate vessel and survived through sheer willpower at the thought of killing pirates. Some of the more superstitious believe that it hides the mark of the Devil, who he made a contract with to deliver wicked souls for him to feast upon. Some more educated people say he wears in order for rumors to circulate about him, thus adding to the already frightening reputation that surrounds him. All we know is that he will not say nor talk about his mask or even register that he even wears one.

In more recent history, up until recently, Elder has been the second in-command, or the Ace of Scarlett behind command of the old Leader. A vile and lecherous man named Able Sutler. Twas he who offered Jane Spuckler amnesty if she became his concubine. The offer disturbed and repulsed Elder to every fiber of his being, but not for obvious reasons. After Jane's escape, Able shouted for the Scarlett's to go after her, but Elder belayed the order. Seeing as it was Elder who led every real field mission and it was Elder who continued to train and test the men each day and it was Elder who had dined and drank with them, it was Elder who they listened to. Able was just around to take the credit. A Nobleman playing at Soldier. Sure he was world champion sword fighter, but in tournaments, not combat. Elder Raised his gun to Able's head, stated that he just committed a very serious crime of bribery, aiding in the escape of a wanted fugitive, but more importantly, Treason. For defying and spitting upon the Scarlett name. Elder executed him.

Though in truth, the reason Elder killed Able was because HE loved Jane. She was nothing more than a beautiful woman to Able, but to Elder, she was so much more. It seems odd seeing as Jane and Elder had never truly had much of a conversation that would instill such feelings in the man. It is a mystery, and only one member of Scarlett knows his secrets, the new second in command. For this fact, he has decided to purify her. For if he took her as his own, he would betray what he lived and killed for. But, can he really go through with it? Or will he fall from grace?

Personality:
Elder is a man of many faces, well many for a man with half a face. Elder's demeanor depends on who he is speaking to and why. When speaking to a fellow Scarlett, he is often soft spoken with a slight smile on his face. He speaks calmly and respectfully, yet still in a sort of threatening manner. As if this stuffed shirt gentleman hides a true demon underneath. Ever polite, but always reminding you who is in charge.

When speaking to a criminal or a populace, he plays the zealot. Ever speaking about how the Law is his divine guidance and that the Criminals are his Heretics. He speaks some what dramatically with grand gestures and a loud voice he commands his audiences and sways them with fear and his very presence. Speaking of his presence, there is something odd about it. When he is near, you can always tell. All the hairs on your neck stand up straight and the air seems to thin. As if getting colder and harder to breathe. As if you had just climbed to the top of a shear cliff-face.

When in combat, usually towards the end, you see the Demon. His smile is wide and mad, his eyes even madder. The blood, the death, the flames, it is all what he is and what he loves. He burns the wicked, and he loves every screaming moment of it. You know he takes pleasure in the death of his targets, his victims, his heretics.

Though, there is a side no one has seen long. A weak side, a humble side. Few have seen it and lived. But, more on that later...

Other:

He is so skilled with it, that he will use it to parry swordsmans blades with it and has even been known to kill people with it by simply clubbing them to death.

STATUS REPORT:
* Jane has been missing for 5 days. At the moment, no one knows where she is, some say she's dead, others say she boarded another pirate's ship, or she has washed ashore on a beach. It is a cold morning, there is a chance of snow, but it isn't likely. It is about dawn. *

Jane's eyes snapped open. She started to gasp for breath, where was she? Wasn't she on a pirate ship? She felt the ground around her...It felt grainy, like, like...sand. She opened her eyes, and looked around. Suddenly, the scene flashed right in front of her.
Jane stood up, this was so confusing. She rubbed her head, it took her a minute or two to figure out what had just happened...Suddenly it clicked. Once she had gone overboard, she must have washed up on this beach...And now she was soaked.
Jane looked around, and felt for her gun...Her eyes widened. She looked down at the sand, and was soon on her knees, scanning for her beloved weapon. This was not good. That gun was her only weapon. if she lost it, she was pretty much defenseless. Not only was she horrible at close combat, but what idiot would give her a weapon? There were probably wanted posters everywhere by now!
Jane let out a cry of disbelief. She needed help, she needed help, fast. Not only were there other people who wanted her dead, but there were probably Scarletts on every block by now! How long had it been, anyway? Oh, God, this was really bad. The only sane thing she could do right now was run, but she needed food, and water. She was so busy panicking she didn't realize how parched, and famished she was.
She held her breath. She was going to have to make a run through Kaylee's village, maybe a rob a few people, and run for Fern's forest...Sounds like a plan.
Jane thought, standing back up. She started to run for the village.
