Peter Larkin was a Wraith who lived in the 19th century United States.
Biography[]
Larkin was the darkest one of the posses, his pursuit of justice more from a desire for power and control over others than due to any altruistic leanings. He was a successful gunfighter for a number of years, but was clever enough to see which way the wind was blowing. Larkin joined the side of law and order, taking the role of bounty hunter and tracking down the outlaws he used to ride with. Larkin never feared death in life, and now that he's dead he realizes just how right he was.
Profile[]
- Image: A slender man with a pockmarked face, Larkin wears an unassuming gray suit and a wide-brimmed hat pulled low over his features. He has a weak mustache that always looks disheveled no matter how frequently he combs it. Despite being buried under a rock fall, the cold winter and dry mountain air kept decomposition to a minimum. As a result, Larkin's body is in decent shape. He can pass for living without too much trouble, although his cold smile and occasionally flaring green eye tend to disturb people more than a shambling corpse would.
- Roleplaying Hints: You don't look like much and you like it that way. You were deadly with a gun in life, and you're pleased to note that death hasn't slowed you down any. You returned most recently of all the posse members, due mainly to the time you spent training in the Intimation Arcanos. Now that you have a fresh perspective on things, you're nowhere near as enamored of Gideon as you once were. In fact, your Shadow might have a point when it says that perhaps his time is over....
- Destiny: The powerful Shadow contained in Larkin's straight razor certainly plans on causing as much havoc as possible before succumbing to Oblivion. After Gideon's control erodes, Larkin moves on, led by his Shadow, to become one of the first "serial killers" in American history.
