Murlynd is a handsome man dressed in worn leather and wears a hat of an unknown style. His weapons of choice are a pair of hand-held weapons that emit powerful projectiles. His holy symbol is a six-pointed star with rounded tips. His holy text is a pulp novel describing his exploits when he was ''just'' an adventurer. So in other words, he's a fucking wild west sheriff. In Greyhawk of all places. Whether this is awesome or fail really depends on who you ask, so just roll with it.

Out of universe, he was a PC created by Don Kaye, a friend of [[Gary Gygax]] who helped him set up [[TSR]] and a big-time fan of Westerns who was the major creative force behind [[Boot Hill]]. He was rolled-up in Gygax's kitchen during the second-ever session of ''D&D'', making him the first notable instance of a new player wanting to be a "special snowflake." When Kaye died unexpectedly three years later, Gygax decided to pay homage to his friend by highlighting Murlynd, first as a unique character in the Greyhawk setting, and then as a god.
