Story

Early in Eddie's journey, he must reach the top of this mountain so that the Kill Master can heal Ophelia, who is severely wounded. To get there, the player will have to survive stampedes of Raptor Elks and Lionwhyte's minions. Unfortunately, Ophelia's wounds are so grave that even the Kill Master's heaviest strings aren't enough to heal her, and Eddie must journey into the lair of the Metal Queen to get bass strings heavy enough to save her. He has a personal hatred of General Lionwhyte, doing anything to "piss him off". After being given the offer, the Kill Master joined the ranks of Ironheade, along with his Thunderhogs.

Trivia
- His name is merely to keep out intruders, the Kill Master himself having taken an oath to not harm others.
- After the campaign is completed, the Kill Master can be found on his mountain, where he was originally found.
- The Kill Master appears as the first Thunderhog hired by the player.
- The Kill Master is modelled after Lemmy Kilmister as well, right down to the two warts on his left cheek. The name "Kill Master" is a reference to Lemmy's surname Kilmister.
- The Kill Master's bass is modeled to resemble the iconic Rickenbacker bass used by Lemmy of Motorhead
- Kill Master does all his own solos.
- During Regret's Infinite Mire, if Rima's Metal Beast is hurt and the Killmaster is close enough to heal it, the following dialogue is heard: Rima: "What...what's that sound? I feel so alive!", Eddie: "Oh, that's our bassist.", Killmaster: "Just doing my job, ma'am", Rima: "(moans pleased)", Eddie: "Man, what is it with bass players?". This may be based on the real-life oppinion that bass players are very popular with women.
