## Appearance

In his humanoid form, Meurtrier posseses fair colored skin, short dark musky locks and beard, a scar running down much of his face, and blood read eyes said to petrify anyone who looks at them. He also wears a dark brown Captain's hat and boots, a Captain's coat with half of the left sleeve torn off, and black leggings.

In his Mosasaur-like form, Meurtrier has dark scaly skin, reminiscent of a blue tree monitor, although, he keeps the blood red eyes.

## Personality

Meurtrier is a cruel, sadistic, egotistical "pirate" who takes pride in stealing Higher-class Orian treasures. He has also taken a disturbing amount of joy though cannibalism, often threatening his crew by saying he'll eat them as well. In fact, he's cannibalized long before becoming a pirate, which has resulted in his banishment from the Empire of Oris.

Meurtrier plans to get revenge by killing Korgahs, the Empire's current ruler, and farm the Orians for the blood, much to the discomfort of his crew.

## Abilities and Traits

Meurtrier is the most powerful member of his crew. He possesses immense strength he can use to overpower any of his victims. Because of his strength, he is able to not only take on the Orian army, but to face all seven of the Orian Titans and bring them down.

Meurtrier is immune to most forms of venom and other toxins, allowing him to eat various deadly creatures without being harmed.

He is able to transform into a Mosasaurus-like being to quickly traverse though water. In this form, he possesses traits of a real Mosasaurus, such as a forked tongue, enhanced sight and smell, and countershading. Meurtier keeps several of these traits in his humanoid form.

In his humanoid form, Meurtrier is an experienced swordsman, being able to outmatch even his first mate, Sabre.

In both forms, he is able to swim efficiently and breathe both air and water.

## Victims

* General Akamai

## Trivia

* Meurtrier, when translated from french to english, is the masculine meaning for "murderer." This references his cold-hearted actions toward the Orians.
* Meurtrier is one of the few characters that has been created in a serialized form first.
* The specific type of mosasaur Meurtier's aquatic form is based of off is Mosasaurus *hoffmanni*. His coloration on the other hand, was inspired by the Blue Tree Monitor lizard.
	+ Several other mosasaurs have been considered for this form, like Tylosaurus and Prognathodon, but both of these were scrapped in favor of M. *hoffmanni*.
		- However, Prognathodon was later chosen to become the form Meurtrier's rival, Broyer, assumes.
* Like the rest of his crew, Meurtrier is also considered a High Class Orian. However, his kind are far more ancient than those of Korghas and the rest of the current High Class Orians.
