Rupert Snow

Rupert Snow was the killer of the Russian community leader Nikolai Kamarov in Under the Skin (Case #73, or Case #17 of Pacific Bay).

Role in Case(s)
Rupert was found guilty after he was incriminated to be Nikolai's killer.

Rupert was the illegitimate son of Nikolai and Sue but was abandoned by the two community leaders when he was an infant because both were too weak to stand up to societal pressure from their respective communities, so to show his power, he hired Mark to gather organs from various Inner City citizens for him. Frank can't believe Rupert's reasons for the murder, but Rupert was more than willing to reveal his sick plans before Judge Dante.

In court, Rupert had to rely on countless foster families wondering who his parents were since he was a toddler. Rupert had to make his fortune as a businessman before embarking on his sick quest to find Nikolai and Sue but felt betrayed when he discovered that he was the son of the leaders of two rival communities as the Russo-Chinese feud didn't fly out of Rupert's fingers. Money was the only motive the community leaders had for the Russo-Chinese feud and as such, believed he was the chosen one to end the Russo-Chinese feud and admitted he hired Mark to collect the heart of Ling (full of life and hope), the lungs of Radovan (to breathe the cleansed air of Inner City), and the spine of Angus (the backbone of society) to unite all races together in a bloodbath. Rupert decided thus he needed to skin Nikolai and Sue to death to remind Inner City the embodiment of peace between ethnicities, and although Rupert succeeded in skinning Nikolai to death, he blamed the player for his failure to skin Sue to death. This sickened Judge Dante like never before and the court decided a lifetime jail sentence for Nikolai's murder, his involvement of the organ-stealing scheme, and the attempted murder of Sue Xiong was appropriate for Rupert. Frank admitted that the case was somewhat too much for him as he believed the case was crazed to no end.
