Biography
Gunther was one of many human beings in the futuristic city of Haddyn whose body was mutated by the Sun's radiation. His mutation took the form of fish-like physiology which required him to live underwater in a giant tank. However, this didn't stop him from running a criminal operation that involved stealing artifacts of value or importance and selling them on for the right price. Gunther's best runner was a young thief named Melaka Fray, whose older sister Erin was a member of the law and had a special interest in Gunther's activites.
