**Murp** is a minor character in ***The Undead Shadow Chronicles***. He was an HECU marine Private who became a member of Acid Moth during the Combine's takeover of Earth.

## Background

Murp was born in the United States. In his school years, he had good grades and lots of friends. After graduating, he and his friends joined the marines and became part of the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit. When the Lambda Incident happened, he was ordered to retake control of the facility and hunt down UndeadShadow64. Upon arriving at the Black Mesa Research Facility, he and his squad were ambushed by aliens. He was the only survivor of his squad, forcing him to regroup with another squad. On the second day of the incident, he fought on the surface of the Black Mesa desert. It was then soon after that the HECU were losing the fight and ordered all units to evacuate and call in airstrikes. He was able to escape thanks to the V-22 Ospreys. What happened to him and the marines that escaped is unknown. On May 19th, portal storms were spreading across Earth. The continuing dimensional fluctuations brought the attention of the Combine. A massive war broke out between the United Nations and the Combine that lasted only seven hours. When Earth surrendered, he went underground and joined the Acid Moth rebellion.

## Lore

5 years after the Combine's invasion of Earth, he resided in Ravenholm along with his girlfriend. Upon hearing of UndeadShadow64's return, he was happy to hear that his friend had returned. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to see him, as the Combine found out about Ravenholm, and launched Headcrab shells across the mining town. He and his girlfriend were the only survivors who managed to successfully escape the infested town. A week later, they joined UndeadShadow64's campaign on stopping Hakuyo. Sadly, they lost their lives during a Civil Protection raid.

## Personality
