Athair wasn't always a serial killer. Once, Long ago he was just another regular at the local pub named Liam. "let's take a trip to Malton" they said. "they have pubs by the hundreds" they said. Then came the quarantine. It only took 2 days for all of his friends to die. Watching the zombies tear apart his mates was just too much for Liam. His first order of business was fighting to get out of this newly created hell. But when he reached the edge of Malton he was greeted by automatic gunfire and military barricades. Unarmed and disheveled, Liam ran back into the ravaged streets. Taking shelter at the local zoo, he began to gather supplies. Thinking that it would end soon, Liam helped the survivors defend Malton Zoo for 2 months, dropping zombies like a bad habit. Then came the betrayal. One of the survivors that Liam was risking his life for, decided to put some buckshot in his back. A few days later, when he awoke in the Bear enclosure, he was alone, and something inside him had changed. No longer was he Liam, who had come to this city on a pub crawl. He adopted the name Athair Bas, "violent death" in his native language.
At first, killing was difficult. Athair hunted the peaple who had turned on him, and put them all into shallow graves. But it didnt stop there. Athair blamed the citizens of the city for taking away his life. Never again would he see his wife and children. His existence was now confined to the borders of malton, and someone had to pay for that...The body count rose quickly. The screams of "NEX" rang through the air regularly, but Athair still felt alone. He joined up with a local gang that seemed to be able to protect and assist him, but again was betrayed and walked away from them. Walking alone, his hatred and anger grew. His blood lust became unquenchable and his soul was touched.
"I can make the loneliness go away" the voice called to him "All you have to do is embrace me"...
"I dont know who you are, I dont understand" Athair said as the Darkness swirled around him inside and out.
"We are why you came here Athair"
Never having heard anyone refer to him by his newly assumed identity, Athair opened himself to the voices, and felt the touch of the Darkness.
"There are others here, and they will help you" it said "All you have to do is what you were born to do...What you lust to do"
With a firm grip on a salvaged shotgun, Athair began to pump the bullets he could find, into these supposed "Protectors" of Malton. The police, the fire fighters, the military. They would all pay for what he had become. The Darkness would see to that.....Malton would feel the same pain, the same loss...
Malton would feel NEX
