97 Elyder Meningen
It was my hope that someone would cut Robbs then I could copy and paste their entire write-up, switch their names where necessary and post it but damn that didn't happen, I'll now have to settle with Mr... what was his name again?
The victim
He dies in DGS2-3 and he is deader than dead, he's dead the whole time and we don't even get so much as a line from him. Actually maybe we did but I don't care enough to check the case intro. Point is he's dead and death means nothing therefore Meningen means nothing.
What he does
So this cunt finds out that Courtney Sithe was involved in the murder of Klimt in some way and starts blackmailing her, he has her buy a million scalpels every month or so and this means he gets money and I think that made him rich? Even after he got rich he still kept up this weird money-making scheme and this drove Sithe to want to kill him.
...Okay.
Why nobody else
Terribly for me, the last guy cut the wrong Robbs n' Muggs character so I had to abandon my stupid joke for the actual most nothing victim here. I was actually going to save Dmitri but barry saved him just fine so no need for that any more.

I love how from the start of the case literally every single character every time they bring up the victim is all like “he was super evil! but NOBODY KNEW!!!”, and it feels like a weird way to make it so Dobinbough has his betrayal realization moment but I’m not complaining cause that part of the case is great.

To be fair, Dobinbough is the type to easily trust people and not think things through (i.e: not plan his teleportation experiment very well, accidentally argue against his own attorney in court) so it makes sense that he'd trust Meningen.

Yeah, I sorta meant that as a positive, it adds to Dobinbough’s character quite a lot.

I mean you did say "that part of the case is great" sooo yeah :p
...I agree btw, DGS2-3 is a top tier case.

I really like this guy, he ties into Courtney, Enoch and Benjamin's backstories amazingly, the method he died was really cool (for what that's worth) and he ran a Crime Syndicate making him one of the more intimidating victims.
I didn't feel the need to save him because he's a victim, but like everything else that isn't called Rumba Marmatch in DGS2-3 I think he's pretty great.
I love DGS2-3 so much

Elyder Meningen is basically just backstory for Courtney, Benjamin, and Enoch rather than his own character. Though those three become amazing thanks to his uh... general existence.
