How reeve creates shrike

               In mortal engines we see shrike as a ruthless killing machine but we then met shrike as a different character the other side of him.We see his different side when when shrike is sent by Valentine and the major of London to kill Hester Shaw and Tom Natsworthy when they escape Hester tells Tom about before the traction era he wasn’t a stalker but normal but then he got turned into one and they erased his memory at the same time making him pursue his only goal to eliminate Tom and Hester.This is demonstrated when he tries to attack them on the floating city but we can also notice that he might have let them get away this shows that he not all of his memory was erased one of the thrashes that he says to Hester is that “Hester Shaw!”screeched a voice like  a saw cutting metal.This tells us that something must have happened causing him to have such anger and evil in him also his appearance tells that when he was turned into a stalker he had lots of damage to his body causing him to have new parts added to his body such as the glass eyes the long dreadlocks and sharp claws this makes him look like a much scarier character in the book which affects lots of the characters during the book.I think that the most impact is on Hester Shaw because she has known him for a long time so she doesn’t recognise him a lot due to the transformation,but we still don’t know why Shrike decided to work for Valentine because we already know that he killed HESTER’s parents when he tried to get the MEDUSA of them.In my opinion when I think about Shrike and his appearance he looks like a mix of a skelton with some wolverine claws.We also know that Shrike has a friend who is Hester before he was turned into a stalker,also when he says Hester name it affects them because they feel unsafe and scared of his voice it causes a lot of impact making them unsure whether to act on him.
