David Maravillas Clyburne, known in prison as “He Who Shall Murder,” is a Floridian gas station employee who was falsely convicted of the murder of Mung Brigham on May 11th, 2021.
Upbringing
He Who Shall Murder was born on August 9th, 1979 in Jacksonville, Florida. His father was a kindergarten teacher and his mother a homeless shelter manager. During his childhood, he regularly donated his allowance to various charities and spent every Sunday working at Habitat For Humanity from the age of 7.
In high school, he graduated as the Salutatorian of his class in high school, winning the school yearbook’s vote for “Most Likely To Win a Nobel Peace Prize” unanimously. He went to the University of Arizona to study Criminal Justice and Child Psychology. During his studies, he rescued several endangered species and built homes for the homeless on the weekends.
In 1999, he was invited to an event to be commended for his public service by US President Bill Clinton. While there, he shook hands with the president, who unknowingly enacted a Mandelbrot Transfer on him, imbuing him with about 40% of Clinton’s total Fertility.
Early Career and Journey to The Gambia
Not much changed for He Who Shall Murder for several years. He continued his charitable works after graduating at the top of his class and giving the commencement speech at his graduation. He moved back to Florida after graduating and began working for UNICEF, providing humanitarian aid and logistical support to communities in developing countries, particularly Mali, Mauritania, Western Sahara, and Senegal. He quickly moved through the ranks and was eventually selected to run a field office in Dakar, Senegal.
On January 5th 2005, President George W Bush announced that he would appoint David as the United States Ambassador to The Gambia. David protested this appointment, as his expertise was found in the Francophone nations of Western Africa. Bush invited him to dinner shortly after his inauguration, where Bush cryptically told him “Listen, son. Some opportunities only come once in a lifetime - and I’ve been told that a Gambian Holiday is something not to pass up.”
Misinterpreting this statement to be just one of the odd mannerisms of Bush’s speech behavior, David accepted the position. He was appointed without a hitch, and began his work in Banjul a few weeks later. It was then when he was sought out by Gambian President, Yahya Jammeh.
David was none the wiser, but Jammeh was well aware that Bill Clinton’s fertility was contained within the young ambassador’s body. In the guise of “cultural immersion,” Jammeh offered to occasionally meet with David to guide him along the path of Fertile Apotheosis to see if he was worthy.
Alpha Dog and the Omegalo Maniac
Jammeh knew that Clinton’s ability, “Alpha Dog,” allowed the user to gain political power in exchange for losing public reputation. Jammeh wanted to see if David carried Clinton’s original ability or if the Mandelbrot Transfer had taken place wholesale. Jammeh wanted the ability of Alpha Dog for himself if possible, as he knew that with the power of The Gambia in his control he could create his own reputation through adding titles to his name, which was already nearly thirty words long. When David accepted Yahya’ offer to learn about the Gambia’s culture, Yahya couldn’t help but smirk. To him, Clinton was a fool with no restraint, allowing his vast fertility to slip away from a single handshake. David and Yahya shook hands, and Yahya subtley attempted to pull an Inverse Mandelbrot Transfer, but the fertility did not budge. Briefly in the Imaginary Plane, Yahya swore he could nearly taste the essence of Bill Clinton on him. This would be some work, for sure.
For the next several years, David was shown the full Gambian experience by Yahya Jammeh. Over time, David became more and more engrossed in the lifestyle, and was a picture-perfect representative for foreign relations between the United States and the Gambia. In fact, he became the model for ambassadors across the world. He won the “Ambassador of the Year” award every year from 2008 through 2016, and even gave the opening speech for the African Union’s 2015 conference on Human Rights. Talk around Washington, DC was that David might be a good All the while, Jammeh showed him the steps on the process toward Fertile Apotheosis. He had him experiment with coffees of various potencies and implored him to stay in The Gambia forever. Convinced that this would indeed be his path in life, David fell in love with Jammeh’s second cousin, Iris Jammeh and married her in 2013.
Several steps along the path to Fertile Apotheosis were complete, and Yahya Jammeh could tell that David still had no idea that the power of Alpha Dog was hidden within him. He became genuinely convinced that he could straight-up take Bill Clinton’s fertility for himself by showing David how to perform a Mandelbrot Transfer on his own and manually give him his fertility without him even knowing what it meant.
In late 2016, Yahya would do just this. After convincing David that they were performing a special “Gambian Yoga” technique, they both transcended to the Imaginary Plane and David felt the “spiritual energy” required to perform the Mandelbrot Transfer. Yahya opened himself and allowed the Fertility to add to his body. He was ready for unlimited power, for a reputation in the gutter. He did wonder, though, why David’s reputation had only been getting better for years on end.
This must be attributed to his overall good and wholesome character - surely he wasn’t even using Alpha Dog, David was just a good guy - surely this was the case, Yahya thought.
The Spirit of Bill Clinton (and Exile)
After a feeling of extreme energy transfer, David and Yahya returned to the Mortal Plane. David had no idea what had happened - to him, it was just an intensely spiritual event. Yahya, on the other hand, began cackling, giddy with joy. He figured that he had the power to stop that pesky Adama Barrow from stealing power from him. The Gambia was his.
But fate had other plans. On November 30th, 2016, a Russian boy named Dmitriy Gurevich executed a convoluted terrorist attack that would come to be known as The Caffeinated Death of 2016. The nation’s coffee supply was contaminated with anthrax leading to several deaths and the destruction of several coffee depots throughout the nation. Yahya Jammeh, who led on a staunchly pro-coffee campaign, suddenly had his chances of victory ruined, on the eve of the election. Within a day, Yahya Jammeh had lost the election and been stripped and burned at the stake. A powerful extrafertile, he would wake up a Super Ghost in the Realm of the Dead, where he would remain for several years. His rival, and arch-nemesis, Adama Barrow, won the election. Barrow instantly fulfilled his primary campaign promise (and accordingly Dmitriy Gurevich’s quest) to ban all coffee from the Gambia and begin a crackdown on COFFEE HAUS and the Mages associated with it.
Coffee was banned, and as a well-known coffee drinker, David was exiled from The Gambia. While he and his wife Iris were emotionally distraught from what had happened to the Gambia, David figured he could continue his career and help people by working directly for the United Nations. He returned to Florida in December 2016 and failed to get a job. After the Crimson Bean (in the skin of Donald Trump) became president in January 2017, David was passed up for a position as US Ambassador to the United Nations. David was confused by this, as he had long been considered one of the most worthy candidates. He had no idea the complex motivations of the Crimson Bean and the extrafertile business that was going on around him.
Alone in Miami
Saddened, he moved to Miami and ran an unsuccessful campaign for Mayor of the city. He got a job at the Mayor’s office, as a receptionist. The mayor of Miami at the time, Francis Suarez, was floundering in support amidst the results of the 2020 United States Presidential Election, as he refused to join the We Love America Yay Party in a district that voted overwhelmingly for Jeffrey Meena. David, who was simply happy for there to be a change in the two-party system, decided that he, too, loved America, Yay, and thus ran for Mayor again in the 2021 Mayoral election, unofficially as a WLAY candidate. It was looking like David was headed for an easy victory against Suarez. Around May of 2021, things started to feel weird in Miami. A murder took place next-door to his apartment, a Mormon teen named Mung Brigham. This was upsetting to David, but he had to continue with his campaign, and was still on track for an easy victory.
Unfortunately, on August 15th, 2021 much of southern Florida was devastated by Tropical Hellfire Armando. At the time of the disaster, David was cleaning litter on Miami Beach. The Hellfire approached, consuming thousands, including Senator Marco Rubio, who was sunbathing about 100 feet away. David surrendered to his fate and was surrounded by the fire. By some twist of fate, he was left unharmed, with hundreds of severely burned individuals around him. He was credited with helping bring over seventy individuals to medical care, including Marco Rubio himself. The media filmed part of this, and the public deemed it as a PR stunt. It was at the same time that the public of Florida, especially in Miami, was beginning to favor the Flahamas Movement. David dropped out of the mayoral election as the Flahamas candidate ascended to take the lead in the polls.
Finally, on December 13th, 2021, he was arrested in his home. A warrant for his arrest had been issued in connection with the death of Mung Brigham. The case had very little tangible evidence, except for an eery photo print of George W Bush found at the scene of the crime. The police knew that David had a personal connection to George Bush, and figured that that was the best evidence they had at the moment, ignoring several other steps in the warrant acquisition process for the sake of “closing the case.” David had never talked to Mung Brigham before, and only had occasional, friendly interactions with his parents. But, shell-shocked from the horrors he witnessed during the Hellfire, he accepted his arrest and was sent to Miami-Dade county jail.
After an odd, quiet trial, David and his pro-bono state-appointed lawyer could not convince the jury. On June 7th, 2022, David was sentenced to 21 years in the FCI Miami federal prison, with no possibility of parole. Within his first six months in prison, eight of David’s roommates died. As a result he gained a reputation in prison. Nobody knew how he was doing it, but somehow he HAD to be killing these guys. The first six times, David swore that he had nothing to do with it, and that the strange accidents leading to their deaths were coincidences. But, after the seventh time, he stopped denying it. He never killed anybody, but somehow, being around him caused them to die. He was sat down and given a full body of tattoos by fellow inmates - sleeves of flames reminiscent of the Hellfire that, to the prisoners, he may as well have caused too - and many other symbolic works upon his face, back, and chest. Suddenly he was worshipped in the prison. He received tribute from the prison gangs. The guards were pressured to give him more luxuries in his cell. And most of all, becoming David’s roommate became the punishment for the lowest grunt in the institution. He was no longer David Maravillas Clyburne - he was thereby donned “He Who Shall Murder” by the inmates.
He Who Shall Murder had no clue of Yahya Jammeh’s plot to take Bill Clinton’s “Alpha Dog”, and Jammeh figured himself successful. What it would take him years in the Realm of the Dead to realize was that he hadn’t taken all of Clinton’s essence. It was simply a Clinton-flavored early mixture of what was brewing within the *mind* of He Who Shall Murder.
This new ability, more a curse, “Alone In Miami,” was at its most base level, a law. Those who remain in proximity to the bearer, will die. Those who the bearer has a neutral or positive opinion of will die faster, and the more an individual is liked by the bearer, the quicker that death will occur. It is, perhaps, an inverse of Bill Clinton’s Alpha Dog, in a spiritual sense. Only those that he hates are safe. Why his wife, Iris Jammeh, was unaffected by this law of nature is unknown. He Who Shall Murder didn’t know he had this ability, nor did he truly understand what extrafertility was. But He knew that He hated the prisoners who worshipped Him, the guards who feared Him, and maybe, maybe He even hated America.
He Shall Murder
Perhaps it was for this reason that He was surprised to have a visitor one humid day in August 2024 - the president of the United States, Jeffrey Meena.
"Happy birthday, you're pardoned," Meena said upon entering the room, sliding a signed document of manumission under the door.
He Who Shall Murder was quite confused. Another President wanted something from Him.
"What do you want?" He replied, making a deep, dark eye contact at Meena.
Meena didn't hide his ambitions. He could sense the potent fertility in He Who Shall Murder, and knew that whatever ability he had led to an untraceable death. He was set up with a part-time job at a gas station just outside of Miami, and was given a simple mission: Become friends with the proprietors of Gucci Bean Haus.
