<div style="text-indent:40px;"> Sam Hudson was born on July 9, 1899 in Augilla, Mississipi to a family of poor dirt farmers. Despite his family's minimal wealth he found enough to keep him occupied and happy. He busied himself with shooting cans in the fields during the days and reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe in the evening. At a young age he became fascinated with the idea of a supernatural world beyond the one he was accustomed to. This lead him on numerous voyages into the surrounding wilderness in search of clues to the existence of such a world, however nothing was ever found. Three weeks after his thirteenth birthday, his mother succumbed to a brief battle with pneumonia and passed away. Several weeks later his father, stricken with grief, hung himself in their barn leaving Sam an orphan.

<div style="text-indent:40px;"> After a short legal procession, Sam was placed in an orphanage in Jackson, Mississippi. He spent less than a month in the institution before he escaped one day and stowed away in a boxcar on a train bound for New Orleans. There he took to the streets and make his way by picking pockets or pilfering small items from market stalls. He marveled at the mysterious nature of the city as his old curiosity for the dark corners of the Earth began to rise once again. Shortly after his fifteenth birthday, however, war broke out across Europe and Sam enlisted illegally with the US Army and was shipped off to war thereafter. From 1914 to 1918, Sam fought beside his brothers in arms and watched many of them die all the same. His desire to have a supernatural experience waned with each of his friends that passed away on the battlefield. When the war was over, Sam Hudson went home a man, and a nearly different person altogether. He had trouble keeping a job upon returning home, as nothing could compare to his life as a soldier and he craved the excitement and fear that war had addicted him to. When Prohibition was enacted and the bootleggers began their crusade, Sam left for the hotbed of organized crime and joined the Chicago Police Department. He rose quickly to detective and distinguished himself as he helped combat organized crime through the end of Prohibition and into the Great Depression. As his life began to settle into a routine, he soon took a wife and had a child. He was nearing his forties when the case that changed his life came across his desk.

<div style="text-indent:40px;"> When Sam Hudson picked up the case file, he never knew that it would be the turning point in his life. He was assigned lead to a team of investigators tasked with undermining a minor crime syndicate in Chicago. As his team neared completion of this feat, he returned home one evening to find his wife and son slain in his home. Crippled with anguish, he never noticed that the gunman was still in the house. He never felt the slug that penetrated his skull and killed him instantly. Death was not Sam Hudson's final destination however. For all the lives he'd taken during the war in Europe and the war on crime, he was sent to Hell to pay penance. Whether it was sheer force of will, or something else altogether, Sam Hudson gathered his strength and broke the shackles that held him fast to the brimstone within the pit of fire. The chains that once held him now clung to his body as if sensing a glimmer of hope for escape and as one Sam Hudson and the Infernal Chains tore through demonic bodies. He dragged his burnt and mangled corpse of a body toward the very gates of Hell and flung them open, looking back at the defeated denizens defiantly with his smoldering eyes that now glowed with green Hellfire.

<div style="text-indent:40px;"> As Sam found his way back to the mortal plane, he saw things like never before. He could sense the lost spirits that roamed the Earth and he was keen to the rituals and summonings that occurred within the shadows. For two years he roamed the country as a vagabond, struggling to maintain coherence. Like the siren's song war called out to him once again as the US entered World War II in 1941. He was recruited into a special task force of the OSS designed to combat Hitler's own occult bureau. It was in France that Sam first encountered Heinrich Färber, otherwise known as Wolfangel. During a raid into an abandoned chateau in search of the spear that had supposedly pierced the side of Christ, Sam's team met face to face with Wolfangel's own. A bloody battle ensued as Sam and Wolfsangel unleashed their own dark powers against each other. Wolfsangel managed to escape with the spear and Sam began his pursuit that spanned several decades. He let Sam die in those stone corridors along with the rest of his team, referring to himself only as THE INSPECTRE!

−
'''Skill 2 -''' These skills can be as mundane as painting, to more fantastical things such as enchanting items.

'''Keenly Observant -''' The many years spent studying and solving crimes both mundane and supernatural have honed The Inspectre's skills finely, letting him pick up on minute details that may not seem important and correlate them to larger evidence in a case.

'''Attribute 1 -''' Attributes are physical or mental traits, separate from powers in most cases, though possibly enhanced by them.

−
'''Attribute 2 -''' Attributes can be things such as flexibility, or being naturally acrobatic, or good eye-hand coordination perhaps.

Background and Origin

Pre-Death

Sam Hudson was born on July 9, 1899 in Augilla, Mississipi to a family of poor dirt farmers. Despite his family's minimal wealth he found enough to keep him occupied and happy. He busied himself with shooting cans in the fields during the days and reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe in the evening. At a young age he became fascinated with the idea of a supernatural world beyond the one he was accustomed to. This lead him on numerous voyages into the surrounding wilderness in search of clues to the existence of such a world, however nothing was ever found. Three weeks after his thirteenth birthday, his mother succumbed to a brief battle with pneumonia and passed away. Several weeks later his father, stricken with grief, hung himself in their barn leaving Sam an orphan.

After a short legal procession, Sam was placed in an orphanage in Jackson, Mississippi. He spent less than a month in the institution before he escaped one day and stowed away in a boxcar on a train bound for New Orleans. There he took to the streets and make his way by picking pockets or pilfering small items from market stalls. He marveled at the mysterious nature of the city as his old curiosity for the dark corners of the Earth began to rise once again. Shortly after his fifteenth birthday, however, war broke out across Europe and Sam enlisted illegally with the US Army and was shipped off to war thereafter. From 1914 to 1918, Sam fought beside his brothers in arms and watched many of them die all the same. His desire to have a supernatural experience waned with each of his friends that passed away on the battlefield. When the war was over, Sam Hudson went home a man, and a nearly different person altogether. He had trouble keeping a job upon returning home, as nothing could compare to his life as a soldier and he craved the excitement and fear that war had addicted him to. When Prohibition was enacted and the bootleggers began their crusade, Sam left for the hotbed of organized crime and joined the Chicago Police Department. He rose quickly to detective and distinguished himself as he helped combat organized crime through the end of Prohibition and into the Great Depression. As his life began to settle into a routine, he soon took a wife and had a child. He was nearing his forties when the case that changed his life came across his desk.

To Hell and Back

When Sam Hudson picked up the case file, he never knew that it would be the turning point in his life. He was assigned lead to a team of investigators tasked with undermining a minor crime syndicate in Chicago. As his team neared completion of this feat, he returned home one evening to find his wife and son slain in his home. Crippled with anguish, he never noticed that the gunman was still in the house. He never felt the slug that penetrated his skull and killed him instantly. Death was not Sam Hudson's final destination however. For all the lives he'd taken during the war in Europe and the war on crime, he was sent to Hell to pay penance. Whether it was sheer force of will, or something else altogether, Sam Hudson gathered his strength and broke the shackles that held him fast to the brimstone within the pit of fire. The chains that once held him now clung to his body as if sensing a glimmer of hope for escape and as one Sam Hudson and the Infernal Chains tore through demonic bodies. He dragged his burnt and mangled corpse of a body toward the very gates of Hell and flung them open, looking back at the defeated denizens defiantly with his smoldering eyes that now glowed with green Hellfire.

As Sam found his way back to the mortal plane, he saw things like never before. He could sense the lost spirits that roamed the Earth and he was keen to the rituals and summonings that occurred within the shadows. For two years he roamed the country as a vagabond, struggling to maintain coherence. Like the siren's song war called out to him once again as the US entered World War II in 1941. He was recruited into a special task force of the OSS designed to combat Hitler's own occult bureau. It was in France that Sam first encountered Heinrich Färber, otherwise known as Wolfangel. During a raid into an abandoned chateau in search of the spear that had supposedly pierced the side of Christ, Sam's team met face to face with Wolfangel's own. A bloody battle ensued as Sam and Wolfsangel unleashed their own dark powers against each other. Wolfsangel managed to escape with the spear and Sam began his pursuit that spanned several decades. He let Sam die in those stone corridors along with the rest of his team, referring to himself only as THE INSPECTRE!
