Dr. Douglas McMourning

Morgue Master McMourning serves as the Guild’s coroner. He is a new breed of scientist, born in this era. Forensic science is a new concept in this time, and there is no better place to practice this trade than in 0. To be Organised/Malifaux, where death and murder are a daily occurrence.

McMourning’s gruesome curiosity into the mechanism of death would ultimately lead to his study of Old 0. To be Organised/Malifaux’s final days and the legacy of magic it left behind. Exposure to the energies conjured in necromancy has a dramatic effect on a person’s sanity. In experimenting with these ancient methods, McMourning’s genius has been twisted, becoming maddened and cruel.

He is unsatisfied with merely reproducing the feats of 0. To be Organised/Malifaux’s past, desiring to innovate, to build on those techniques and create new brands of sorcery. The bodies that arrive on his dissection table become the raw materials for new creations, monsters that have never been imagined before. With these unnatural minions, he will harvest even darker secrets from the ruins of this ancient city.

In recent months, Guild officials have become suspicious of his activities, and McMourning has been forced to conduct his experiments in a more secure location. Utilizing 0. To be Organised/Malifaux’s expansive sewers, McMourning has journeyed into the Quarantine Zone where he has established a more remote base of operations.

This fortress laboratory is every bit the definition of mad science described in the popular pulp novels of the time, composed as it is with sparking apparatus and towering banks of electrical switches. If it weren’t for the gruesome product of this lab, his madness would almost be comical.
