## **Bomb Master, The Mask of Mayhem**

His true name is only known to Dr Keter who never shared it to anyone. Bomb master is short skinny man with short brown hair. He always wears green mask hiding his face when when he's in a place where he could be seen. He's very resourceful and way smarter than his brutish nature makes him look like, as he managed to outsmart entire Rohoim Guard for many months and always had an escape plan, not matter where he was. If he did know about Har's existence he would never approach Dayini and very likely escape from the crypt.

Bomb Master is a self-centered psychopath who believes that everyone deserves happiness, not matter how they achieve it, even if it's at the cost of others. He works as a grave digger in Rohoim and often kills innocent people just to satisfy himself. He kills without remorse in very brutal ways, most often with bombs that tear his victims to pieces.

## **Story**

Every living things seeks happiness. Be it fame, fortune or power, everyone has their goals. Following your dreams isn't usually seen as wrong or evil... unless your goal is to satisfy your morbid lust for scorched corpse.

Years ago he needed much less disturbing things to achieve happiness. Warm embrace of his lover and a praise of his mentor were enough, for a time being, yet it couldn’t last forever. Everyone meets their end one day, and the girlfriend of a Satran engineer died young, leaving him only with his bitter anger and… lust. She was the only one who could satisfy his needs, even after death. Soon after, his worried mentor, Dr. Keter noticed that his apprentice’s interest shifted even further towards the incendiary weapons. And that he got weirdly interested in the bodies donated for his research on human augmentation.

One rainy night Dr. Keter’s apprentice suddenly vanished. If asked, Dr. Keter just told everyone that he “moved back south”, but what really happened under the dark clouds would forever remain between the two of them. With a giant scar on the face of one, and deep guilt and disgust for the other as an eternal reminder.

The man did in fact moved south. He settled in Rohoim, where he found a job as a gravedigger. The pay wasn’t even the half of what he got in New Satra, but it was still enough to get some Aranite wires, basic tools and a sad green mask he would wear on his nightly strolls around the city and nearby villages. He started slowly and humbly, yet still caught the attention of the Guard much quicker than he expected. His first victims were children and homeless, caught in his explosive traps. He experimented with his methods, adjusting the bomb placements and explosion power, managing to always be a step ahead from those going after him. Every time he put on his mask to go out and kill he had an escape route ready, infested with bombs, and all who ever came close to getting to him ended up in pieces. Civilians, cocky adventurers, even the comically incompetent Rohoim Guard officers died to sate his morbid lust, allowing him to get his hands on a E.B.W. in the process.

For few months the city of Rohoim trembled in fear before the “Bomb Master”, a nameless bringer of death and destruction who seemed to kill for the sake of killing. While Bomb Master himself hated the nickname he received, he savored the mayhem he caused. To turn the people’s rage and fear away from himself, he dropped a copy of his mask and some remains of his previous victims in a basement of an apartment he picked randomly, and almost choked out of laughter when the very next day an innocent girl was arrested, and would presumably be executed for his crimes. Fallen Satran engineer who became one of the worst serial killers in history became so proud of himself. Too proud.

During his killing spree he killed some people whose friends would dedicate everything to hunt him down, and his grim fame reached back to the New Satra, where his former teacher decided to take an action. What has ultimately led to his downfall was when he began taking his victims alive to a crypt on the graveyard where he worked instead killing them on the spot. Someone saw him.

When multiple people he wronged in the past showed in his crypt that evening he still thought he could get out of this, but this time he had no escape route prepared. And he ran out of bombs faster than he would like to.
