## Plot overview

In the Murderer's most recent past life, he was a murderer named "The Murderer." Two years before his first on-screen appearance, he was "seriously killed" via burning. At some point in one of his lives, he commissioned the building of the Fisheries Research Center. He was then employed by some unknown person who wanted to reduce his abilities and assigned him to taking care of their dogs.

While stationed at the Center, he and his husband Bari Helicopter sensed the presence of intruders. Shortly after this, he encountered Edward Lake and introduced himself as "a law that removes any criminal conflicts." Not wanting to be removed, Lake claimed to be the Murderer's partner in crime, "Ass Boy"; the Murderer refused to be tricked and attacked Lake with his "sword-cutting guitar." A bit into the fight, Lake stated that he recognized the Murderer's voice, and the Murderer asked if Lake knew him, but Lake responded that he was just giving an opinion. The Murderer then went into a lengthy explanation of his backstory (Safe Cleaning).

The fight resumed, the Murderer showcasing several special attacks, including being Swedish. Edward Lake evaded the brunt of them, but became distracted by his own pants, which reminded the Murderer of "the war." Lake asked what he was talking about, and the Murderer responded evasively that "it would be nice to have one life." He then made the mistake of mentioning his husband. Lake, sensing a psychological weak point, asked if their relationship was strong, and the Murderer stated with some hesitation that it was healthy and okay, but not strong on his end. Lake, laughing, declared that it shouldn't bother the Murderer for much longer, as the marriage was doomed in the long term.

Following further combat, the Murderer began to suspect the Lake brothers of time travel. Edward masterfully deflected these accusations by once again claiming it as an "opinion"; he then caused a distraction and struck while the Murderer wasn't looking, separating his head from his body, which then transformed into a car. Lake attempted to interrogate the Murderer, but coming out to Lake had given him skills, and his car body attacked Lake. As it turned out, the Murderer was actually a hivemind composed of fish, and though he was bleeding, he put up an admirable offensive until Lake hit him with a special attack, divorcing the Murderer from his husband in a single strike.

Utterly defeated, the Murderer lamented his fate, cursing Lake for his actions and insulting him for his performance in school, though as Lake was actually at least one grade ahead for his age group, this did not have much effect. While the precocious child monologued about his misandrist worldview, the Murderer recalled their earlier conversation. He began to tell Lake more about his backstory, involving himself and his brother Milton summoning a demon in the hopes of breaking their curse of immortality. He offered to let Lake listen to rock music and bury him, in exchange for an explanation of what the hell was going on. The sinister aquatic goings-on at the Fisheries Research Center apparently did not end with the fish collective that was the Murderer, as he revealed the existence of an entity known as the "Salmon Pope" before being stabbed in the eye with wheat by his sister Passion (Types of Divorce).

The remaining fish comprising the Murderer pleaded with his siblings that he was still in the middle of a fight and that he'd unlocked new features, of which he was about to showcase 'Type A' before being stabbed again by Waste. Mocking the Murderer's immortality, Waste quipped that hell was full, and went on to berate him for being unemployed and not following them until they were alerted by Passion that he had died for the 49th time while they were talking (All Over the Body).

## Trivia

* His weapon of choice is a guitar that can cut swords.
* He is Swedish.
* He is fish.
* From these last two points we can extrapolate that he is probably sweet and chewy.
* His husband, Bari Helicopter, has killed him at least once; he apparently does not consider this behavior unhealthy, or even notable.
* His body is a car, and he can change it. This cements his place as the fourth canonical Transformer in the series, after Plague, Bear Bear, and his husband.
