Arthur Rory

Arthur Rory was born July 22 1953 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His childhood has been kept private by his friends and family, but it is certain that he moved to Portland in the summer of 1969, after running away from home at the age of 16.

There he met Amber Cardinal, a 15 year old flower child who Arthur had fell in love with. They got married in the spring of 1972. That year they had a child, a boy named Andrew. In 1985, during the birth of their second child, Amber suffered from cardiac arrest and it was fatal. The child managed to survive, and Arthur had named her Amber, after her mother.

Life was relatively quiet for The Rory's until November 1994 when Arthur and Amber were out for a walk by the creek. By Arthur's account the sun had set in a matter of minutes, which was confused considering it was only noon. Before Arthur could assess the situation, a "crazed masked man with an axe" began chasing him and his daughter through the forest. Arthur attempted to attack the man when he was met with a blow to the head, rendering him unconscious.

When he awoke he found Amber gone and looming above him was The Argalyle. Arthur attempted to flee, eventually making his way out of the forest. He immediately ran home and called authorities, claiming his daughter had been certainly kidnapped. Her body was never found.

Arthur was a main suspect in the case of Amber's disappearance, for example as to why they had left for the woods for two weeks, and supposedly Amber went missing an hour after getting lost. Arthur couldn't explain these inconsistencies, and was eventually found guilty for the murder of his only daughter.

Arthur pleaded innocence until the day he died, June 12, 1995. He had bit his wrists open and bled out over the night. Teeth marks were embedded in his pillow, implying he bit down the pillow afterwards to muffle his cries of pain.

The final remaining member of the Rory family, Andrew Rory, has shown disbelief in his fathers innocence. "He was a crazy man. He was getting crazy, anyways. I wouldn't have put it past him, the sick fuck."

Arthur's gravestone was removed from the Portland cemetery on May 6 2010 due to repeated acts of vandalism done to the stone.
