Molly Squidpiddge was once a successful reporter for the Malifaux Record. When Seamus took an unhealthy interest in her and her affininty for the strange gem known as the Gorgon's Tear her life took a decidedly macabre turn for the worse. Seamus murdered then resurrected Molly, intent on using he link with the Gorgon's Tear in an effort to bring forth the Grave Spirit and steal its power for himself. Although events conspired against Seamus he held onto Molly and the Gorgon's Tear. He knew both would be of use to him again.

Since that time Molly's use has been little more than a glorified porter. She carries the raving head of Philip Tombers, forming a bond borne out of their mutual hatred of Seamus. Molly is linked to Seamus through means she does not completely understand and is unable to escape his reach. Instead she welcomes each small freedom he grants her, exercising her growing control over undead oddities like herself. She wonders if the Gorgon's Tear she wears has something to do with her abilities and carries a shard of hope that someday she can break free of Seamus' hold and find peace at last.

Overview

Molly's tragic history in Malifaux comes to life in her stats. She can use the Gorgon's Tear to become Terrifying, leaks necrotic fluids whenever she suffers Wounds, and can even reveal Philip's head to scare away the living. Crews containing her can hire and boost Horrors, and she is able to summon not only Belle models but additional Horrors to fight alongside her during an Encounter. She can deflect injuries as long as her player has Fate Cards in his or her Hand, and when she has served her purpose she can be killed to eliminate an enemy model from play.
