 * An incredible detective with great intuition.
* In his youth he was one of the best police detectives in the county, however his cases became more and more strange, keeping him from giving his superiors explanations for how they were solved, or what occurred. Eventually he left the department and started his own Paranormal Detective Agency.
	+ He isn't highly regarded by many of the law-enforcement officers in the Riverside area, and has a reputation for being superstitious and paranoid, despite being neither of those things.
	+ During his time on the police force his partner was Officer Myra Bishop and became close friends and were nearly married, however due to the paranormal nature of Murdoc's work and subsequent leaving of the police force, they split up. Bishop still sends "strange" cases his way.
* Smokes a lot of cigars. A *lot*.
* During the four years Odie worked for him, Murdoc began to think of him as a son and protege.
	+ When Odie graduated from the Police Academy, Murdoc gifted the future officer his Black Pontiac Firebird and a .357 Colt New Service revolver.
* Has a nose for trouble and incredible intuition.
* Murdoc carries a custom 10-Gauge double barreled shotgun. It has been fashioned from silver-steel and Mountain Ash wood, then heavily modified through strange mechanical means to fire bullets of various kinds.
* In the years since Natalya's grip on Riverside strengthened, he has lost a great deal of business, as Natalya have effectively shut down most supernatural occurrences entirely. He plans to move east to Nevada or Arizona, possibly to retire.

* When he was younger he used to operate as part of a secret sect within the church that scouted out and dealt with **Demonic** activity, this group was similar to La Poloma.
	+ He met Margaret while working within this group. Because Margaret is able to work outside the confines of strict Vatican law, and tell who is actually affected by **Demonic** or supernatural activity and not just a lunatic, he sends people her way if they come to him with such a problem.
* He married Clara and Vincent Vera at their wedding and has baptized each of their children. All of their children also made their first communion at St. Peter's as well.
* Lucas thinks he's one of the most genuinely good-hearted people in the world and enjoys going to mass when he is preaching the weekly gospel.

 * A officer for the Riverside Police Department. As a detective, she worked on several of the cases that were related to the supernatural events that occurred in Wildomar.

* Murdoc believes that, despite he having seen some strange things and participated in cases with no earthly explanation, she mentally refuses to believe in the paranormal, and as such she has remained "untouched".
* After the storm caused by the Dark Paradise she was promoted from Detective to field Lieutenant, and she runs a no-nonsense group of police officers.
