CHARACTER PROFILE: MURDOC ALPHONSE NICCALS

PERSONALITY: Murdoc is the quietest of the four. He often hides behind Noodle and relies on her for protection. Being the youngest of the band, he’s prone to irrational fears and phobias. He doesn’t like socializing and can often be found in his room reading books or playing his bass. He’s very friendly to his fellow bandmates. Murdoc can’t keep a secret, though. He fears the wrath of Stuart and can often be found sneaking around Ape Studios late at night.

Likes - Anything horror, Satanism, peace and quiet, staying away from Stuart, playing his bass, flowers (don’t tell anybody.), rock and roll, playing with knives (to seem tough), having chats with Noodle, smoking and talking about his interests.

Dislikes - Classical music, arguments, balloon animals, Stuart, talking about his family, warm weather, football, enclosed spaces, sudden loud noises, feeling vulnerable and bright lights.

LIFE BEFORE GORILLAZ BELOW

Murdoc Alphonse Niccals (birth name unknown) was born in Stoke-On-Trent on the 6th of June 1989. He was born in The Three Legged Dog by the wheelie bins and it’s been rumored that his mother gave birth to him while still in residence at the Belphagor Sanatorium, which was a halfway house for "the sick, the needy and the incredibly bored". As a baby, he was dumped on the front steps of his father, Sebastian Jacob Niccal’s house one night and was discovered by him as he was returning home from the pub, who would verbally and physically abuse the younger boy and his older brother, Hannibal, as they grew up. Murdoc was often forced to preform at the local pub’s talent shows to win his father money. During his older years, Murdoc attended Sodsworth Comprehensive School. There, he gained a reputation for his awful behavior and even worse hygiene. During the years of which he was attending school, a group of girls would constantly harass the young child. Murdoc often tried to retalliate, to verying levels of success. While it’s unclear what exactly was said that day to insitigate it, Murdoc and one of the girls got into a fight. The girl being Isabella Chopper. Isabella would wind up breaking the poor child’s nose during the fight. Murdoc stopped showing up to school following an incident with a lady at a diner when he was 9. Murdoc dreamt about becoming a famous musician and leaving Stoke-On-Trent. After becoming a Satanist, he began making deals with the devil and eventually sold his soul to ensure his dream came true. When the deal was finalized, Murdoc was given Satan's bass guitar, the 'El Diablo', and was granted the knowledge of how to play it. Shortly after making this deal, while he was on a walk, he saw a flyer advertising auditions for a bass player. It was for a band called ‘Gorillaz’. Despite being just 9, Murdoc decided he would pack up all of his stuff right then and there and make the trek all the way to Essex where the auditions were being held. Once he finally made it, the auditions were over. Yet, despite his age and how late he was, Noodle convinced Stuart to give him a chance. He won over Russel, Noodle and Stuart (though he won’t admit it).
