Monk McGurk

Real Name: Monkton Aloysius McGurk
Background: In a series of experiments, the Nova Institute enhanced the intelligence of several test animals to human levels and beyond. When these experiments became public knowledge, the enhanced animals, who were educated and articulate, were ruled sentient by a court, and were released into society.
One result of these experiments was Monk McGurk. In captivity, he had demonstrated a keen aptitude for deductive reasoning. After his release "from stir", using knowledge he gained through voracious reading, he started his own detective agency.
Mitzi Moreau, a part-time model, wannabe actress, and nursing student, is the best damn secretary Monk could hire for minimum wage.
Monk sometimes employs his old cellmate, Zydeco Jones, as hired muscle.
Soon after his release, Monk had to battle the menace of the malevolent guinea pig, Mr. Whiskers. The rodent has returned time and again, becoming an archenemy of the detective.
Status: Active
Skills: Monk is a skilled investigator with a genius-level IQ, who learned nearly everything he knows from reading detective novels.
Technology: Monk favors his Colt Police Special and a knuckle sandwich.
