It's a bird...it's a plane...no! It's just a mandrake. Like in any legendary and magical folklore, Mandrakes are usually some kind of witchy plant that when pulled out, the roots (in a demented humanoid form) are going to produce such a shrieking racket that could kill a human being.
It's was claimed that back in the medieval times, a donkey was tied to the Mandrake plant and whipped, to pull the Mandrake out, sacrificing the donkey but not the human who harvest them.
Enough of that chaps, we are now viewing the profile of AIC Chronicles first non-human character! Madcap Murdoch, the Mandrake! cute little bugger ain't it? Rose was tired with so many human character piled up that she suggested to us that "if there is anymore introduction for new characters in AIC Wars Chronicles, let it be un-human".
The original character concept for Madcap Murdoch was a Librarian just like Ain Khairi, but more on seniority...however after considering the much to ordinary appearance of new characters, we go for a less stereotype and non static alternative character form like...a mandrake!
Note that Madcap Murdoch "human form" was used to make Skoolkidz.
Unlike any other Mandrake that we saw in the media or books...Madcap Murdock is a highly educated bookworm. Spending time caged up inside the Utopian State Library Archives must've sparks Madcap interest in books, knowledge and education.
Such an interest earns Madcap the nickname "walking dictionary".
Madcap Murdoch small sizes was always being underestimated by the opposing enemy. Although Madcap possesses the Mandrake plant famous "scream of death" most of the time the skills is used to cover up retreats in oppose to offensive maneuvers. Madcap screams stuns the enemy for some period of time...which makes a good escape and avoiding skills.
Strangely, Madcap Murdoch was created by a Maritime Exploration and Ocean's Geography Librarian, Ain Khairi. She must've been studying Botanical and subjects about exotic plants...either way, Madcap Murdoch claimed that it embodies all the personality traits of it's creator, which is why they are always entangled up in an argument...(with Madcap won most of the time!)
