Rick Young (Earth-UU0004)

Rick is the brother of Mary Young, are a prisoner of the Widmark State Penitentiary on account of first degree murder. He cares for his sister whom he dines as the gifted child of the family while he was always the black sheep who everyone scorned, but had made peace with this station in life even while being incarcerated having found a new family within his fellow inmates while in lockup. When his sister asked him why it was that Rick ended up killing the man in the first place, he only replied 'It needed to be done. During the event when Ernest Fairchild was executed and revived as his old time moniker Evil Ernie. Rick along with many of the other residents of Widmark Prison had been killed, incinerated when a nuclear bomb was dropped on the area. As a result it was then where he'd been sent to hell for his crimes in life facing eternal torment, he was eventually found and resurrected by Mistress Hel as her undead agent back on earth. He came to love and worship her like no other being a fond lover of death in and of itself, but was rejected by the goddess in favor of the one who got him killed in the first place due to Ernest being more than just a man; while also promising to make rick into a deity himself, The Dead King, if he were to act as a deterrent for a band of misfit monsters with his own little crew of radioactive zombies. After a run in with the chosen of Morgan Gallows, their newest member, whom was secretly a Norse Aseir of the night; Vex cast a sort of sleeping spell which sent them back to the grave for a time.

After a while Rick would again be reanimated and empowered by Lady Hel in favor of stalking and killing those affiliated with death and murder in order to bolster her ranks, in preparation of an army that would usurp power from the other Lords of the afterlife.

Now rechristened as Deathlore by his lady, He is one among five new lovers of the goddess of death who butcher and slaughter everyone and everything affiliated with her domain. Everytime he or anyone of them murders another murderer or death seeker he comes in closer contact with Mistress Hel.

After Evil Ernie had dispatched two out of four lovers of Hel, Rick finally decided to make his entrance after killing his other two rivals who'ed been hounding the duo of his most hated nemesis and an unexpected ally who was affiliated with both of them. After Ernie had dropped off Mary Young back at an old vacation resort she and her family used to come to every now and then, Deathlore was found waiting for her inside as she cut on the light. She asked if he was there for Evil whom had already left a while ago, he corrected her in that it was Mary herself he really came to see. Wondering who he was Rick went into a prolonged diatribe about his many identities but stating only Ms. Young ever called him brother, alluding to his true identity.

He went on to say Hell made him into what his is today after the mini nuke went off over the jailhouse at Widmark when Mary asked what'd become of him, and admitted he was hurt worse when he realized the only other person he loved as much as his mistress had come to collaborate with the guy he hated more than anyone for being Hel's favorite, even after Ernie had rejected her. When Mary told Deathlore that Ernie reminded her of the brother she loved and lost, this truthful sentiment only served to inflame Rick's ire even more. Opting to kill his sister due to being unable to stomach anymore betrayals until Evil Ernie himself came onto the scene. Looking to resume their old rivalries the two revenants commenced slaughtering one another where Evil found out the hard way that Mistress Hel had greatly empowered Deathlore. Enticing Rick to boast that his lady had given him all kinds of upgrades like an unbreakable body frame, bolstered strength and enhancing his ability to reanimate the dead which he showed by sicking a bunch of zombie pets on his enemy. Ernie then let loose with a blast of his green energies to which Rick found he was vulnerable too. The latter whom also coined this aspect to his powers and pressed his advantage nearly killing Rick again until his sister Mary intervened.

Promising that he'd never rest until he finished Ernest for good, his adversary contradicted him as he ran an Arcane Energy charged coal poker through his chest seemingly killing him instantly. When Mary went to pack her bags and came upon an old Photo of the two during their youth, a wounded Homicide spoke final words of farewell before disappearing leaving behind his Deathlore mask and the poker Ernie impaled him with, startling his sister. Meanwhile at a nearby bar the wounded Homicide comes across some bikers within asking who'ed be kind enough to loan him a ride
