**Murphy** is one of the main characters and a possible Love Interest in Rage of the Titans.

## About Murphy

Murphy and Andrea attend the same university. They used to be friends but drifted apart lately.

At night, he helps Adrian Newman and his family at the Underworld club. His responsibilities include keeping an eye on the club, going to business meetings and running errands. During the day he studies at the university and plays in the football team.

In episode 9 of the first season, Murphy is revealed to be Cerberus, the multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. Hades granted him the ability to turn into a human - he's able to access his mythological form by turning back either halfway (human form with dark skin and fire cracks) or full. Murphy describes himself as "Hades' minion" and a "monster". He has several brothers and sisters, but many of them died in battle.

Murphy’s usually self-assured and bold, but deep down he fears rejection and builds up walls to protect himself. After falling in love with a human once he got rejected because of his true identity; that's why he's convinced no one is ready to love him with all his faults.
