Murgan



Murgan is a villain and playable character from Pray for Death.

Story
Murgan was once a brigand who operated in Sardinia. He became very rich by swindling various clergymen, and once that became too easy for him he began swindling landlords and members of the aristocracy.

One day Murgan pulled one of his tricks onto a very wealthy aristocrat, robbing him of all his riches and swiftly escaped. As it turned out, however, this aristocrat turned out to be none other than Satan himself, who used this disguise to lure greedy people into Hell. None too happy about being swindled, Satan sent his minions after Murgan, and two days later they returned with him on tow. After torturing the man as a punishment, Satan offers Murgan the choice to become Hell's gatekeeper or to spend all eternity burning in the hellfire. Murgan of course choose the former.

Due to his natural ability to trick others, Murgan became just too good on his job, often offering freedom to Hell's inhabitants if they could beat him in a game, something very few were ever able to win. Murgan eventually grew to enjoy Hell and Satan. One day however he was tricked himself by the fallen angel Uriel, who seeking to win God's favor pretended to be a fallen priest and entered Hell, where she preached to the dead and ended freeing millions of souls. Satan expelled Murgan, who pursued Uriel and confronted her at the River Styx, ending with both of them dying.

With his soul now residing on Limbo, Murgan receives an invitation to Death's tournament and eccepts the offer, seeking to get revenge on Uriel and to regain Satan's trust.
