<div style="text-indent:40px;"> I was a just a gumshoe private detective making my money catching rich husbands in bed with their mistresses. That's when I met my "loving" wife.  I  always knew she was after more than my heart, but truth be told, that's exactly what she was after.  She seduced my young foolish heart into loving her and then on our wedding night she cut it right out of my chest ... with a dagger.

</div>
</div><br>
+
</div>
<div style="text-indent:40px;"> It turned out she was a voodoo witch doctor and member of a cult looking for immortality and to get it she had to cut out the heart of one who willingly loved her.  She still has it, sitting in a magical jar still beating and sustaining her life.  The process turned me into a zombie, unable to die while my heart still beat.  My soulless husk becoming her favorite target of humiliation and scorn.
+
</div><br>
+
  
<div style="text-indent:40px;"> Although normal and mundane before that night, my true spirit was deeply bonded with strong magic, the reason she was drawn to me in the first place.  It took some time, how many years I'm not sure, but eventually my consciousness returned and I awoke from the dead, only this time I wasn't ordinary anymore, I was infused with magic.

I'm more than a zombie, but so much less than a human.  I do not feel pain, although I am aware of it's presence.  I do not feel sadness or love or happiness.  But I do feel anger, rage and hatred toward those that would hurt the innocent.  Toward those who would murder and kill in the name of greed and selfishness.  Toward the one who made me like this.

I used to be alive.  I had a job and even a wife, but that life was not to be.  Love is a bittersweet madness that leads to suffering and pain.  My love betrayed and used me.  I gave my wife my love and devotion and she cut my heart out with a dagger.  She sacrificed my life to make hers everlasting.  She cut out all my joy with that blade.  All my sympathy, my humanity and most especially my forgiveness.

 +
I am reminded of it every day in the scars on my face, by the hole in my chest were my beating heart once was and by the fury that burns in my soul.  My beating heart lies in a phylactery hidden away by her.  It grants us both immortality, although her existence is full of life while mine is one of undeath.  She kept me enslaved for decades but eventually my will reasserted itself and I took back command of my corpseI learned to control my thoughts and my body once again and thanks to her extensive libraries, I learned dark sorcery.
 +
 
 +
Through my will and dark sorcery I finally freed myself from her slavery and now it keeps me ever moving forward toward the goal of ending her life and ending my miserable undead existence.  I will find that phylactery and I will destroy it and finally put an end to this charade of a life I live. Along the way I will be sure to put down anyone that attempt to do to others what she has done to me.

 +
I show no mercy on the wicked, for no mercy is shown to me.  I reach out the hand of justice and punish those who would spread their evil unto the world.  I do not sleep.  I do not eat.  I do not dream or need the trappings of a modern life.  I only need revenge.''</i>

Background and Origin

I used to be a zombie, but I got better ...

From the journal of MidKnight Serpent

I don't feel any more. I'm not even alive. I'm dead. I walk the Earth by the power of dark sorcery alone and it is by dark sorcery that I exact justice.

I'm more than a zombie, but so much less than a human. I do not feel pain, although I am aware of it's presence. I do not feel sadness or love or happiness. But I do feel anger, rage and hatred toward those that would hurt the innocent. Toward those who would murder and kill in the name of greed and selfishness. Toward the one who made me like this.

I used to be alive. I had a job and even a wife, but that life was not to be. Love is a bittersweet madness that leads to suffering and pain. My love betrayed and used me. I gave my wife my love and devotion and she cut my heart out with a dagger. She sacrificed my life to make hers everlasting. She cut out all my joy with that blade. All my sympathy, my humanity and most especially my forgiveness.

I am reminded of it every day in the scars on my face, by the hole in my chest were my beating heart once was and by the fury that burns in my soul. My beating heart lies in a phylactery hidden away by her. It grants us both immortality, although her existence is full of life while mine is one of undeath. She kept me enslaved for decades but eventually my will reasserted itself and I took back command of my corpse. I learned to control my thoughts and my body once again and thanks to her extensive libraries, I learned dark sorcery.

Through my will and dark sorcery I finally freed myself from her slavery and now it keeps me ever moving forward toward the goal of ending her life and ending my miserable undead existence. I will find that phylactery and I will destroy it and finally put an end to this charade of a life I live. Along the way I will be sure to put down anyone that attempt to do to others what she has done to me.

I show no mercy on the wicked, for no mercy is shown to me. I reach out the hand of justice and punish those who would spread their evil unto the world. I do not sleep. I do not eat. I do not dream or need the trappings of a modern life. I only need revenge.
