[b]BRIEF Bio:[/b]
[i]"Of all the dumps in town he could have shown up in, the kid wound up in *mine*. An' ta top it all off little Abigail lit up for the first time in years. She musta taken a liking to the kid, but for the life of me I can't figure out why. Either way the cat's outta the bag and as long as she likes him the kid's a walking bullseye for our old enemies. I just hope I can show him the ropes before the kid ends up in a body bag... or worse."[/i]

[b]Potential Storylines:[/b]
GHOST IN THE GUN: Just what's the deal with Abigail anyway? Where'd she come from? And how can she even be a "she" in the first place? The origin of Nick's magical firearm is explored, revealing a tragic origin and an increasing desire for revenge when a certain someone emerges from obscurity for the first time in... centuries?

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY: A case from the past comes creeping back into the picture, forcing Nick's boss and mentor John Mercer to face his sins and perhaps even admit the real reason why he hung up his hat.

THE HAND THAT WIELDS IT: Nick must face the ultimate test when he finds himself cut off not only from Mercer's guidance and wisdom, but from even Abigail, whose power has been helping him survive his previous cases. It's do or die as Nick must find a way to resolve the case and prove once and for all that it's not just the gun, but the hand that wields it.

[b]Notes:[/b] John Mercer is a retired masked detective who previously wielded Abigail under the mantle of Noir. He solved many puzzling cases ranging from the mildly strange happenings to saving a city block's worth of innocents from being sacrificed in a sinister occult ritual. Abigail is actually a gun, a seemingly sentient one that appears to be a flintlock from the 17th century, though despite the era is more than capable firing arcane shots in rapid succession. Even Mercer isn't sure where the name Abigail came from or even who crafted her in the first place.
