Description
TM is a retired serial killer who once struck fear into the hearts of underworld dwellers across America. I mean, just look at him. Is it really hard to understand why?
TM was once a talented surgeon, working in the critical care ward of the Massachusetts General Hospital. In-house political squabbling was costing the lives of his patients, and after failing to save a patient he had bonded with, the Zoroark couldn't take it any longer. He murdered the hospital's chairman and then started hunting down all those who behaved like him, people who put their own wealth and power above people's lives. He made a show of killing his targets, exsanguinating them and then stitching them back up, trying to show the public that these butchers were happy to bleed their patients dry while providing only the appearance of care. The media, however, misinterpreted this statement because the stitch-work made the corpses look like dolls, and they gave him the title "Toymaker."
Disillusioned with the corruption he found wherever he went, TM racked up an impressive body count, while using both his illusions and his medical knowledge to prevent himself from getting caught. His anger couldn't be sated, and he eventually found himself going after small-time Dark Strays just because they were in the neighborhood. A chance encounter with Bae, however, changed his life for the better. Bae listened to his story and wasn't afraid of him, and didn't even blame him for what he'd done. Instead, Bae suggested he find a healthier outlet for his anger on top of serial killing. Bae introduced him to BDSM, and the Zoroark the nickname 'TM', because, in his own words, "You ain't scary like Toymaker and you ain't stuffy like Tiberius Masters. You're just you, an' that's what counts." TM accepted the nickname, and the pair became life-long friends.
TM joined Bae on his trip across America, and helped him form the Caramel Carnivale, taking a position as its night manager. Along the way, TM continued killing any Dark Strays that threatened them in Marksville, eventually scaring the gang off. TM then met, mentored and briefly dated the young killer Karma, before they drifted apart and ended their relationship on good terms. The biggest change in TM's life was learning that he had an adult son, Tyrion, from a one-night stand decades in the past. Tyrion was more than happy to connect with his father, and the pair have been spending time together ever since.
TM occasionally visits Cafe Plaisir, where he maintains a cordial friendship with Ravage. His more level-headed personality makes him a good contrast to Bae, and the pair usually work together when they're at the Carnivale or dealing with any kind of conflict. Though he's mellowed out considerably from his serial-killing days, TM is happy to prove he's still got it, and he fights mercilessly to protect his newfound family and friends.
