Marduk

"There's a beauty in violence and a beauty in death but I've yet to find the beauty in life."

Background
Marduk is a name whispered in the darkest depths and whose utterance brings a shudder to even the hardest of killers. It's a word used only by those so desperate that they will give up everything they own for a moment of his time. It's a name that harkens back to an older age, an age where Daemons walked amongst men and those they met did not return.

And the legends of Marduk murmur those very things. Perhaps he is a Daemon. Regardless of his nature however, Marduk is one thing and one thing only. A superlative killer with no compare. His targets make an almost endless list that count the names of both the high and the low. Rumour has it that even the High Lords of Terra keep any eye on the shadows for him and some even dare say that they have acquired his services on numerous occasions.

Contacting Marduk is surprisngly easy considering his secrecy. Merely mention his name in the right place and, if you interest him, he'll find you. No one is certain if they have ever met the real Marduk for each description of him varies wildly from the next. All know though that once he has agreed then the target is as good as dead. None have yet escaped his touch and none ever will, or so people believe.

Strangely, Marduk appears to have made a friendship with a lunatic. A lunatic with skills much similar to his. This loyalty seems stonger than steel and for reasons unknown, Marduk is willing to sacrifice all to keep The Beggar alive and to ensure his safety against those who wish him harm.
