## **HISTORY:**

A fighting champion who was known for his streak as the undefeated and
unbeatable ‘brawler’. After he was told to lose a fight he would do the exact
opposite. One night they would come for him to end his life after disobeying
their orders. The Brawler would return home and fend them off after getting his
daughter out of the home safely and beating down the trespassers he would go
into hiding. Training himself  and
eventually his daughter. The Brawler would become a masked vigilante. Taking
down the mob and other criminals. The Brawler however would have to deal with
the guilt on the night of the attack from the death of his wife. His daughter
would grow to become his sidekick and then would strike out on her own continuing her father’s mission. From the very beginning nothing was more thrilling than the thrill of a
fight. Cain Murdoch would being training early on in his life as a child. After
a while Murdoch would lose his mother to cancer Cain would land a normal job
after dropping out of high school to survive. Murdoch would hop around from job
to job until he would be told about an underground fighting arena where he
could make money to fight. After almost losing his first fight in the Arena
Cain would begin training harder than ever before learning more fighting
techniques from watching the other fights and adapting their techniques
perfecting them and eventually utilizing them to help him adapt and become a
better fighter. Cain Murdoch was a natural brawler becoming virtually
unbeatable. After the police shut down the underground fighting arena; there
was rumors that they were going to bring that same concept alive but with
guidelines and restrictions against people under the age of 18 fighting. Cain
would train himself learning restraint and control over his body and knowledge
of how to utilize his surroundings and make them benefit him during a fight.
Cain would be undefeated for years. After saving a girl coming home from work
at the age of 20 in Hell Haven, Murdoch would use his skills to take on
criminals. He would fight in the world of MMA eventually taking the underworld
by storm and making his name as Cain 'The Brawler' Murdoch. Fighting as a
vigilante behind the scenes, and becoming a big time MMA fighter, things would
change forever after one night. Murdoch nearly killed a man for the first time
and would be shaken forever from that experience. Stopping his MMA Underground
Career he would become a vigilante fulltime for a few years and settle down
with his wife, having two children, Ariella and Cain Murdock Jr. After the
death of his wife due to an attack from the mob he would grow eager to get
vengeance beating the men who were responsible nearly to death. Cain would use
his money to purchase a gym and use it as his base of operations. After
beginning training his son and his daughter to learn how to fight they would
soon discover his identity as the Brawler. Eventually becoming vigilantes as
well Ariella would follow in her father's footsteps not only learning from him
but joining the now televised world of UFC along with her father at the same
time dominating the competition.

Cain Murdoch would have his UFC career on and off. After he left and went
back to his gym to meet a young boy that he would train named **Ian Akers**.
Ian begins training with Cain Murdoch already deducing his secret identity as
The Brawler. After a while asks him to train him the way he once did and
teaches him what he knows. When Ian makes it clear that he knows he is the
Brawler. Ian asks him to truly train him rigorously as he once did. A reluctant
Cain Murdoch would finally agree to train Ian Akers for a little over a year
until Ian Akers would fake his death. After faking his death he would hint to
his mentor he was still alive and show gratitude by updating and upgrading his
vigilante attire and gear. With the note in the box stating "Thank you,
P.S. In case you change your mind." After a while The Brawler would return
back after the death of his son and apprentice the second Brawler. Avenging his
son's death and once more carrying the mantel of the Brawler.

Cain Murdoch has been known to have mentored and taught some of the best
fighters alive. Cain Murdoch was the original person who said "Hell Haven
has a tendency to make demons." A line that would make Ian Akers into the
Night's Demon. In most cases Cain uses low grade suits that are mildly
protective and heavily relies on his skills and not his gear. As a result he is
covered in scars. Cain is a natural born fighter one that doesn't stay down
easily and never quits. Cain adapts and learns how to use his opponent's power and
skills against themselves. Cain doesn't really care to use technology as much
in his vigilante agenda and has a hard time just using his cell phone. As his
main means of transportation Cain uses a motorcycle he built from scratch that
he started when he was younger. For a period of time Cain wore a ring spelled
by a witch. This relic would fall into his possession and grant him the ability
of advanced self healing and even to resurrect himself saving his life multiple
times. After the ring would be destroyed he would lose the abilities the ring
granted him having to rely purely on skill, determination, and will power.

Cain has speed and strength that is above average and goes up against
people bigger and more powerful than him all the time using strategy and wits
to overcome the odds. Driven to be the best and conquering all and any
challenges in his path. Cain Murdoch has also used the gym to help guide people
in the right direction. Cain Murdoch has a strict no kill code and is shaken by
the idea that he almost did but does not shy from beating certain people at
times to the brink of death. Cain has a very complex romantic relationship with
a woman that works with him in his gym years after the murder of his wife, a former
nurse: **Selia Harrison**. Cain however has a few romantic relationships. Cain
at times can be very snarky, and driven that drive though has at times led to
him pushing people away. He is very protective of the people that he trains and
that also come to his gym and selflessly risks his life to protect his
apprentices at times even if they can protect themselves.
