Sherm Mendolsen

Shermite "Sherm" Mendolsen was an Edgyverse hitman and Termite Mafia underboss from Insect Projects, The Mound. Through his mother, he was the great grandson of original Termite Mafia boss Buz Chipper.

Early Life
Sherm Mendolsen was born in EY1973 to Termite Mafia enforcer Dug Mendolsen and Renn Chipper; the daughter of acting TM boss Herm Chipper. At age 5 his father was arrested for the sale of Shrimp Dust and sentenced to 15 years in the Edgymax Penitentiary.

Sherm's uncle Ned Chipper introduced him to the family business at age 14, having Sherm act as a lookout and run Shrimp Dust orders to street dealers. Due to his large size he was favoured by the TM leadership and he became a made-man in EY1992 at age 19.

Criminal Career
Sherm committed his first mob killing in EY1994 at age 21. He killed an Eastside Stovetop Crip member who had entered their territory from Bad Neighbourhood and robbed a TM street dealer. Sherm waited until the gang member left his house and crashed into his vehicle in a rented RV. Security footage at the rental office linked Sherm to the crime and he was arrested and charged with murder in EY2001.

Sherm is suspected of perpetrating an additional 13 gangland slayings around the Insect Projects. He was awaiting trial at the time of his death.

Death
Mendolsen was found dead in his cell in the Edgymax Penitentiary while awaiting trial for the deaths of 13 members of the Mantis Mob biker gang. An autopsy showed his cause of death as undiagnosed Exoskeleton Cancer. He was buried in Cemetary Land.
