“
Haah... I was once... the master of this manor. Not like you lowlife hooligans who crawled in here, looking to reave what does not belong to you.
Hindley is a sturdily built man with a reddish face and dirty blond hair and a short, ill-managed, stubbly beard. He carries a simple black cane in his right hand and a timepiece in his left coat pocket, as is customary for all T Corp. residents. Throughout the events of Canto VI: The Heartbreaking, Hindley wears a dirty threadbare brown striped coat, and grey pants, light grey vest and white shirt inside the vest in similar conditions. He wears a black glove on his right hand, though it lacks its index finger.
As a Distortion (Hindley, the Reaved Lamenter), Hindley takes the form of a large, bipedal wolf with matted yellow fur stained with blood. His former attire is still present, though the change in size that came with the Distortion did not happen with his clothes, and the changes have caused his attire to become a completely ruined series of ripped fabric.
Personality
Hindley is a spiteful man known to carry grudges, despising Heathcliff to the very present day for many events that transpired as the two were children. He is quick to temper and is deeply depressed, falling into terrible debt after his failure to maintain Wuthering Heights and coping through the use of alcohol abuse. Despite his attempt to paint himself as a respectable noble, he frequently has childish outbursts over minor things.
Background
Hindley was present when Mr. Earnshaw arrived home carrying Heathcliff after finding him orphaned in the Backstreets. Hindley, having expected a violin he requested of his father, would grow immediately angry with Heathcliff, something that would snowball continuously over the years as Hindley would pettily argue with and contribute to the abuse of Heathcliff. He would come to view this moment as the crux for his life falling apart in his adulthood, remembering the violin as a reason for it all.
At some point, he would be augmented with prosthetics that allowed for him to fight better, as well as being sent to a school that allowed for him to learn combat.
Later, he would inherit Wuthering Heights due to his father's death. However, during a gamble, the manor would be put up for purchase due to Hindley's loss, being bought by Catherine immediately. This would exponentially worsen Hindley's depression and debt, as well as add to his list of reasons to spite Heathcliff.
Story
Returning to Wuthering Heights for his sister's will reading, he would hire the Dead RabbitsSyndicate as means of protection.
During the introduction to the will reading, while Heathcliff and the Sinners are present, Hindley would begin to argue with his former adopted sibling, attempting to regain his pride. Having enough, he'd send the Dead Rabbits against the Sinners, before they're called off by the Dead Rabbits Boss returning. Being placated by those around him, he would soon be readied for the reading of the will, and hopefully await his sister's gifts to him. When met with the realization all she left for him was a WARP Train ticket to a rehab facility in M Corp., he would return to his depressed and angry state, upset at the "betrayal" of his sister, pushed further in the belief that she and Linton conspired and stole the manor away from him. With the first strike of lightning, the parties present would be spread across the manor.
Hindley would be found nearby the Sinners, with his life threatened by the Wuthering Heights Butlers. Dante would quickly assume Heathcliff planned to allow him to be killed by Josephine and her subordinates when met with a memory of the abuse of Heathcliff, though Heathcliff would stand Hindley's ground for him, believing it as something Catherine would have wanted. Following Josephine's retreat, Hindley would lambaste Heathcliff over not knowing Dead Rabbits Boss's name as Matt, something Heathcliff insists his real name as Matthew. From here, he would thanklessly depart in search of his hired subordinates.
Later, when the Sinners defeat the "Öufi Association" members in the basement of the manor, Hindley would arrive with Matthew and a slew of Dead Rabbits, before being pushed by the Syndicate boss to fight the Sinners, with support from the augmentations he received in his younger years. After a failed battle against the Sinners, Hindley would begin to panic, terrified over the prospect of having failed at the apex of his redemption- his last attempt to save face and return to the life he loved, one without the ruin he now faces. Breaking down over the state of the manor and seeing it as a place of rot, he would be delivered a final push by Matthew in way of being told to "beware the obsidian grass". Agreeing with Carmen's voice over his wants being no more than a violin, ruined by Heathcliff's presence, he would inevitably Distort, attacking the Sinners while confronted with memories of antagonism and his beliefs of deceit. At the finale of the fight, he would be killed, causing Matthew to reveal his true identity while thankfully viewing the death of the his loathed client.
