Psyche: Murphy McTavish was the guy you called if you needed someone killed and nothing else worked. A kind of Taboo in the Assassination business, if he was called in it was bad, for both sides. It's not that he was a particularly unsavory individual, he was a rather gentle and polite man, unless your the one he's been sent to deal with. Hero,Villain or bystander if he was called, the devil himself would look twice at the shadows that danced in his domain. He would be the most ruthless,mean and unforgiving person you knew. But he quit, just Vanished off the face of the earth. But now he has a new contract. And every single villain or crime lord better start watching their shadows.
History: Murphy McTavish was a regular old Private of the united states military working on he reserves. He was doing some usual training runs when the strange milk colored rain fell from the sky. That day changed it all, after a while he began to control his own blood, able to harden it and move it in the air, soon more people like him showed up in the same reserve he was stationed and they were shipped off to train and be studied.
They were to be named the Killjoy Initiative. And were sent on many secret operations until one of there higher ups thought they were getting too powerful. He had them killed. Or so they thought Murphy survived and had to make a living somehow, after getting his revenge on a certain Bureaucrat that ruined his life.
And so BloodTide was born. Working for anyone with money from Drug lords to super villains who needed some superheroes removed. He wouldn't use the word 'Villain' to describe himself he would use the term "professional". That all changed after things got a little Too real. He was on a routine job when he came across a rouge element the super hero named "Emotion" tortured him for one year. With feelings of sadness and regret, so much so that when Bloodtide killed her he was changed aswell. he left, just kinda vanished with one word left at his last murder sight the word "maybe" left written on the wall in blood.
No one really knows what happened to him after that. Some say he died, some others say he got himself a wife and kid, living like a king in some undisclosed location. Regardless he seems to have returned again. And he has seemed to be targeting villains and anyone he has worked for in the past.
