Patrick Mullard / Mul the Mad / Lum the Repentant

Patrick Mullard is the last known surviving member of the Mullard Family. As a child he was very creative and dreamed up many crazy inventions that he kept in a series of scrap books. These scrap books remained forgotten in the library of the family farmstead near Orton, long after he abandoned them and moved onto adult persuits

He went slightly insane with grief when his only living relative, his mother, died and set himself on a self destructive path of extreme alchohol consumption. Recovering from this only to become obsessed with his childhood inventions.

After making his inventions a reality he was mocked for the silly machines he had made when he took them into town to show them to the people, what use was a device to convert steam into motion, or the ability to create lighning and chanel it down wires.

Returning home after being laughed out of town Patrick Mullard was attacked by a walking corpse that he managed to kill again with the first heavy object he could find, a lighning machine, this was the first time he had ever seen the dead walk and wanted to study how it was possable, somehow in the process gaining control over the zombie.

Patrick's new obsession was Zombies, he wanted to find a use for them in defending the town of Orton, that had recently been attacked by orcs and proved incapable of defending itself, prefering to pay the Orcs to go away than fight them off.

This lead Patrick down a path of actions that varied on a scale somewhere between morally dubious and pure evil, along the way meeting a nercomancer called Mipp, who taught him some things about how Zombies were made. Together the performed experiments on the dead to meet their own goals.

Eventally things went very wrong and Patrick Mullard lost control of his zombie army, instead of protecting Orton they attacked it causing much bloodshed and terror, the aftermath of this attack is the point where the players first became aware of him.
