Maxwell Silver Hammer is an Unseelie Nocker with murderous disdain for his competitors.
Overview[]
The London newspapers dubbed him the "Camden Town Cudgeler." His victims, seven in total, all bludgeoned to death, were all scientists and antique- and toy-store owners. His calling card, a small silver hammer, was left at each murder scene and various valuable items would be stolen. After a spree that lasted from 1966-1969, the crimes came to a sudden end in the winter of 1969, to the relief of the public and the embarrassment of Scotland Yard.
With only a puzzling set of clues to work with, the detectives on the case were left frustrated. They were unaware that their quarry was an Unseelie Nocker who sought to eliminate his competitors; both fae and mortal. His murderous joy-ride ended with the return of the sidhe. The nobility captured the marauding nocker and "imprisoned him forever in a place of eternal darkness" as an example of their power.
Maxwell Silver Hammer's reign of terror was believed ended with his imprisonment, until very recently. In the spring of 1997, a sidhe noble was found bludgeoned to death in his palace freehold. His retainers found a small silver hammer next to his shattered skull.
