A GloryHound who cares nothing for the truth of Decker's murders, Eigerman later leads his forces into the city of Midian with intent to slaughter the Tribes of the Moon. Initiating a brutal purge of even the Nightbreed [[WouldHitAGirl women]] and [[WouldHurtAChild children]], Eigerman uses explosive charges, flamethrowers, and guns on Nightbreed civilians, gleeful about the chance to butcher as many as he possibly can before demanding the transformed Reverend Ashberry follow him in murdering the survivors.
