Murdoc Niccals
Character from Gorillaz by Damon Albarn & Jamie Hewlett
The green-skinned, self-described Satanist bassist who founded Gorillaz through force of will, ego, and a suspicious amount of dark luck.
Also known as: Murdoc Niccals, Murdoc, Old Green Bastard, El Diablo
What They Know
- Claims to have made a deal at a crossroads in Stoke-on-Trent, which he insists is the source of his supernatural luck
- His skin turned green from years of excessive living, substance abuse, and possibly genuine supernatural contamination
- He hit 2D with his car twice and then recruited him — this is considered a relatively normal origin story in Gorillaz lore
- Built Plastic Beach by compressing garbage in the South Pacific into a viable island-studio, which is either visionary or deranged
- Has a golden fang he's inordinately proud of
- Was eventually imprisoned and replaced by a Cyborg Noodle at one point, which he does not like to discuss
- Plays bass in a style that he describes as 'the voice of the Devil's own groove' and that others describe as 'actually quite good'
- Has a specific rivalry with and grudging respect for Damon Albarn, the human who channels the band into the real world
