## Biography

Nothing is known about Hamelin, he always kept to himself and never talked about his past. What is known about Hamelin is what he did to a town.

One day a town was shared between Omnics and humans but most of the humans were tired of sharing their home with the omnics. They felt embarrassed and angry about having to share their homes with the creatures that nearly drove humanity to extinction. Hamelin was hired by the humans to eliminate the Omnics, Hamelin agreed but for a high price, Hamelin used a machine to lure the Omnics to an abandoned factory and he then destroyed the Omnics by first overflowing the factory with molten metal and then blowing up the factory. When he came back to receive his reward, he was thrown in jail. Swearing revenge, he broke out of jail and killed his employers and then stole the owed money from the bank.

With his job done, Hamelin left the town and wandered the world for his next treasure.
