The city's Demon

In Philadelphia there are many dark secrets and evil entities that lurk within the shadows... Sections of the town and places where people go missing and are never found... One of those sections is the sewers. It’s a dark and vile place, and for the unfortunate one that’s taken or the poor soul who makes the bad decision to go down into the dark tunnels beneath the city streets, they get the dreaded opportunity to meet “King Tusk”. Not much is known about Tusk and at a time many didn’t even believe he existed. Philadelphia hold’s many myths but Tusk is anything but, the city’s street gangs were the first to come in contact with Tusk before anyone knew to fear going in the sewers. It was the gangs that spread the word of “King Tusk” first. When members of the street gangs started to go missing across the city, the rival gangs began a war with the apposing sides that distracted them to the real threat, Tusk. Tossed away at a very young age, Tusk lived beneath the city for years exposed to toxins and chemicals that passed through in the city’s sewer water. It deformed his mind and body creating a hate filled brute that feeds on cats, garbage and enjoys killing whoever comes into his territory. It wasn’t till torn body parts from victims Tusk caught passing through the sewers he calls home began to pop up on the nightly news, and gangs members started to find chewed up fingers and ripped off limbs of there men near sewer openings, that the remaining members of each gang realized that neither sides may not have anything to do with the sudden loss of there men. Going out on a long shot the gangs put their differences aside in order to form a truce and decided to hunt down whoever was killing their men off. Their hunt started and ended at the sewers. Only a few made it out, those who did managed to get back to their hide outs and for months silently rebuilt off the backs of their fallen comrades. The others were beat to death, throats broken and as reported bodies torn apart. Now still living in the belly of the city, Tusk very much like an animal continues to roam the sewers attacking whoever comes into his territory with no motives or goals in life. He lives only to survive and destroy whoever and whatever threatens his land and way of life, a beast unlike anything that’s been brought into the city and a deadly force for anyone to tangle with, this is “Tusk.”
