Morn (individual)

Morn was the name used by an apparition of an important individual - apparently a Tiste Andii. Morn had appeared at the 'Spawns', which were the scattered remains of Moon's Spawn which had crashed into the Rivan Sea south of Hurly. Morn was described by Antsy as "obviously Tiste Andii with his night-black skin" but different in some ways from the other Andii that Antsy was familiar with. Morn's eyes were almond-shaped but were somewhat lifeless-looking, being black on black. His hair was dark, long and worn braided and hanging forward over a shoulder. Antsy observed that Morn "was also rather heavier-set than most Andii Antsy had met".Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 11, US TPB p.336
==In Orb Sceptre Throne==
Morn introduced himself to Antsy, Corien Lim, and Orchid in the Spawns. Morn had been attracted to the party by Orchid's use of the ancient Tiste Andii language. In the process of attempting to convince Orchid to remain at Moon's Spawn, Morn helped the three to navigate the floating remnants to The Gap - the only exit from the Spawns.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 11, US TPB p.336-343Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 15, US TPB p.421-423
Mother Dark later asked Antsy about what he knew of Morn. She indicated that Morn had been gone for a long time and she blessed Antsy for the information about Morn that he was able to give her. Morn eventually helped Orchid, Antsy, and Corien, as well as a number of others, to escape from the Spawns - via the Throne of Night - into Kurald Galain.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 16, US TPB p.462-467 At Kurald Galain, Morn's shade - having accomplished what he had set out for it to do - faded away and Morn returned to his body in some distant land.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 18, US TPB p.504 
==Speculations==
It has been postulated that Morn was actually the shade of Draconus. Morn - while "meditating" in the ruins of Moon's Spawn - approached Orchid because of her use of the old language of Darkness. Morn stated muliple times that he had been away for a long time,Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 11, US TPB p.336/340 perhaps signifying his time in Dragnipur if Morn was, in fact, Draconus. Morn also stated that he was just a shade of his true-self,Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 16, US TPB p.463 which was located elsewhere.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 18, US TPB p.504 This comment suggests Morn might be Draconus because during The Crippled God Draconus was physically located on the Continent of Lether, travelling with Ublala Pung.The Crippled God, Chapter 2, US HC p.32-36 It was also known that Draconus could create shades of himself. Late in Orb Sceptre Throne, Envy fainted when confronted with a figure - matching somewhat the description of Morn - who she called "Father" - i.e., Draconus.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 20, US TPB p.556 Antsy's description of Morn was also similar to that of Draconus.
