>>43311910I might give the challenge a try. If I can't get to it by the time this thread's gone, I'll probably post it on the next one.
This weird little man is Murdoch Heigen, but when he's being directly controlled by a Malamar named Orzabal. There's an anomaly within his brain that makes power being channeled through him increase many times over, and it continues to become even stronger througout his team's time together. That actually comes to how his "team" came to be. Orzabal and his adoptive Elgyem son, Curtonix, sought out this power for their own purposes and kidnapped the guy. In a sense, this is a case where the Pokémon acquired him instead. The concept was originally born from subverting the whole idea of "Pokémon are good, it's the HUMANS that are evil!". It was also a silly concept on how a Pokémon would use a human for something bad, rather than a group of humans trying to use some legendary Pokémon's power.
>>43321471Murdoch and his team are very different from each other in this regard, but his alignment in his original story skirted a very fine line between Lawful Neutral and Lawful Evil. While he desired nothing but the best for mankind and it's prosperity, he was highly lacking in mercy, and had a general hatred for Pokémon. In one of his 3 possible story paths, he managed to break away from Orzabal and Curtonix's control to rejoin his father, where they enacted a plan to completely separate Pokémon from human society as a whole.
