Lord Muck

Lord Muck is the secondary antagonist of the game Nightshade Part 1: The Claws of Sutekh. He is the leader of the Dapper Gents, partner of Sutekh, and one of the two leaders of the Crime Lords who controlled Metro City after Vortex's death.

## Appearance

Lord Muck is a tall, barrel-chested British man wearing a blue bowler hat, with a blue cane, and a blue moustache, as well as an all blue suit, with a white button-up shirt. He looks similar to the Dapper Gents, however, there are a few key differences. His moustache is larger, his coat is longer, and instead of his hat covering his face, he simply has very bushy eyebrows. Although he is quite tall, he is not as tall as Nightshade or Sutekh, who are both much taller than him. He is the only Dapper Gent with a cane.

## Personality

Lord Muck is seen as a very professional and dapper man, which fits his role as leader of the Dapper Gents. He seems to care quite a bit for his rug, and asks Nightshade not to mess it up during their fight. He takes this rug care to such an extreme extent that he will atomize things that touch it. He does not use this on Nightshade, however.

## Biography

### Before Nightshade

Nothing is known of Lord Muck's past. However, he teamed up with Sutekh and the Crime Lords after the death of Vortex, and took over the city. It is assumed that he has the most control over the city as opposed to any other criminal, due to the Dapper Gents being practically everywhere.

### During Nightshade

Lord Muck is the penultimate boss of the game. However, he can be fought at any point, as can any boss except for Sutekh. However, it is heavily advised to beat the Crime Lords before taking on Lord Muck, since he is much tougher than the other bosses. In order to reach Lord Muck, you must buy enough of the hot nuts from the food stall vendor, and he will give you special access to the club that Lord Muck is in. Once there, you must fight two Dapper Gents, and then activate a secret lever that is disguised as a moose antler. Then, you may fight Lord Muck, and take his scarab, which is usually the last one needed.

## Powers & Abilities

### Telekinesis

Lord Muck has shown the ability to command pieces of the ceiling to fall down onto Nightshade, as well as being able to seemingly glide off of the ground to move more quickly.

### Atomization

Lord Muck is capable of instantly atomizing any object at will, an ability that he uses to keep his rug clean. It is unknown why he does not simply atomize Nightshade on sight, though he does use this ability to atomize the ceiling pieces he tosses at Nightshade to stop them from ruining his rug mid-fight.

### Restoration

Lord Muck is capable of regenerating any object other than himself to a previous state it its history. He uses this ability to keep his ceiling in tact after launching pieces of it at Nightshade and atomizing them to keep his rug clean.

### Jumping

Lord Muck can jump higher than Nightshade, who can jump several times his height, which is impressive since Nightshade is about 9-13 feet tall.

### Durability

Lord Muck is shown to be the most durable of the game's bosses (and is likely the most durable character in the game) by far. He is the only boss who, when defeated, is completely unharmed by Nightshade, and simply gives up out of frustration.
