Biography
Senile, old, and filthy, Murdoc was nonetheless called upon by Lond to provide poisons, spell components, and herbal concoctions. Murdoc was not entirely reliable in his service of Lond, as Murdoc on at least one occasion caused the death of a former lover of Lond by giving him a lethal poison instead of the aphrodisiac that Lond had called for.[2]
