Derwin

Derwin is a character from Strife. He is one of Governor Mourel's lackeys in the warehouse, who arouses Mourel's ire by selling children on the black market without cutting the governor into the deal. At one of the important plot junctions in the game, the player can choose to accept Mourel's commission to assassinate Derwin (the "bloody" task), bringing back his ear in exchange for a prison pass from Mourel. (The other task, the "messy" one, involves destroying a power coupling which actually controls The Front's shield generators.) If the player chooses the messy task rather than killing Derwin, he still appears in the warehouse later in the game, but is basically useless to the progression of the plot.
