Some quick notes. (I attribute things I know for a fact and ??? when ever its something in the aritcle that personally I do not recall)


 * According to S2e1: Murphy he had two loving parents. His father died trying to get medicine for him, and his mother succumbed to alcoholism and died blaming him.
 * According to pilot: Murphy father begged Jaha for mercy before they spaced him. ??? Murphy found his mother dead in a pool of vomit.
 * Either this chain of events took place during his teenager years, or Jaha was very long in office before Diana.
 * Watching your father bed for mercy while spaced (think Charlotte) for something he did for you, then watching your mother fade away, and die blaming you can't be good for his psyche.


 * Murphy seem to have a reputation of being a troublemaker and career criminal, one of the few members to actually have committed actual felons and not petty misdemeanors.
 * ??? Murphy was sent for juvy for setting fire, not sure if its his only crime or what he was caught for.
 * In the pilot he is the first to start a gang of dangerous-looking guys, make a shiv and almost used it too poke Wells (before Bellamy stop distract him and recruit them as his henchmen enforcers)


 * Murphy ABCs are: Pain, Hate and Envy.


 * Murphy has shown violent tendencies from the start and later as Bellamy's henchmen he abuses his power, playing the ruthless overlord who sees the rest as tools. His sadistic tendencies were shown after Bellamy helps a struggling little girl and order water for a kid that needed water, while Murphy annoyed at being ordered around piss on kid to validate himself, he smiles and say you wanted a water break and sends him to work without water.

In the pilot he promise to kill.
 * Murphy has tendency for vengeance.
 * ??? he set fire to his father's arresting officer's quarters.
 * In the pilot he attempt to kill the son of who see responsible for his father death.
 * Trivia: After Murphy interrupted assault on Wells, he leaves him message that foreshadow his death, but misspelled. Wells eventually dies by Murphy knife. Calrke assumed the knife was Murphy's bases on the JM initials. Murphy share the same initials with another delinquent.
 * He later seek out and kills those who feels wronged him in the lynch.


 * Murphy was contracted for S1 as the "bad guy", in S2 we see the first seeds of self-awareness and remorse.
