CHARACTER
The Mortician
M-02
----------
Archtype: *Ghoul* Fixer

Description:
"When your desparate, and in the darkest, meanest sections of the
Payullup, and you wish you were dead, there is one person who can
help.... The Mortician!"
The Mortician is always dressed in the finest black funeral parlor
style suits. His horrendous odor is often covered by a heavy dose of the
most expensive mens colognes with a faint after scent of embalming fluid.
His complexion is that of a corpse. He often wears the finest wigs to cover
his balding head and his nails are manicured to razor sharpness. His eyes
are an eerie black background with red pupils. They are in fact cyber eyes
he had installled to compensate the the near blind attribute of his race.

Biography:
The Mortician was in fact a registered mortician before "the change"
hit him. Once afflicted, business fell through the floor. Now, his business
is funded by many "shady" characters who would like the use of a fully
licensed mortician who can provide legal death certificates and also
"properly" dispose of the bodies. Business as a mortician and fixer is so
good that he can honestly say he has never had to "scrap some off the top"
to survive.
Yes, the Mortician is insane. But his brilliance as a business man
and "shadow figure" outweighs this slight impairment. Unknown to many of
his clients, he has fed them human flesh prepared in ways that would fool
even the best chefs. He has recorded these instances- he refuses to do
business with those who will not eat dinner with him. These recordings are
his insurance policy against backstabbers.
