Murdock
Overview
Murdock is a Fire Mage, an Alchemist and possible party member in both The Legend of Queen Opala and The Legend of Queen Opala 2. In The Legend of Queen Opala, he is a hired mercenary, and can be recruited in assisting the Hero of Egypt in his adventures; however, he offers little in storyline. In The Legend of Queen Opala 2, however, it is revealed that he is actually from Namaria instead of Egypt or Greece, and was transported between the two worlds during his research into the Shadow Spike phenomenon on Mount Dreadclaw.
Legend of Queen Opala
In The Legend of Queen Opala, Murdock can be recruited as easily as any other mercenary.

Legend of Queen Opala 2
Murdock is found by the Hero in Baltera Village near the start of LOQO2. If he joins the party, Murdock will start at level 6 as the party's Mage. As of The Legend of Queen Opala 2, Episode 1, his presence is incompatible with Iliona; if you accept his offer of aid and let him join your party, Iliona will not offer to join your party. Milana is also against his joining the party, resulting in a decrease in relationship points if he joins.
Allowing Murdock to join the party will also unlock the achievement "Cheesy Beard."
