Morticia

Morticia was the main antagonist from Houses. She was a human sorceress from Xenoz, known for her insistence on the gifts magic could bring.
== Personality ==
Morticia was insane, hellbent on delivering what she sees as magic "gifts" to show the true powers of magic as a tool and as a weapon, while also harboring intense hatred for Xenoz as a whole.
== History ==
=== Defection from Xenoz ===
At some point in the past, Morticia was exposed to magical relics while Xenoz was at war with another nation, and this drove her off the deep end. Insisting many times that Xenoz should lighten up about their hatred of magic and instead embrace the magical world around them, she was repeatedly shut down. Frustrated with Xenoz, she cast herself into exile, becoming known as the Exiled One.
=== Houses Campaign ===
Morticia had happened upon a fallen Titan, and before the Reaper could take it away using the Titan's Grave, cast a spell tying it in place. Using this Titan's magical blood as a tool for mass destruction, Morticia was responsible for all of the instances of magical corruption throughout Ikarion, including but not limited to:
* The sentient, killer crystals and crystal guardian in Nox
* The corrupted whitefolk and firbolg in Yrven, as well as corrupting the ritual structure there
* The corrupted tiefling in Pteven
* The corrupted fish men and the corrupted leviathan in Ridgewater
* The sentient tank and construct army in Xenoz, as well as the mind-control helmets
When the party had made it to Xenoz, she finally made her grand appearance, personally taunting the party before leaving them with her gift for the Xenozian military.
In the meantime between her visit to Xenoz and the party's arrival in the Titan's Grave, Morticia prepared a ritual, one to gain godlike power to become the world's twisted gift-giver. Upon being confronted by Grey Everwyn, she left after they fought, returning shortly after with her black box. Alone and with no one to back him up, Morticia made short work of Grey, corrupting her into his minion. She left once again, leaving him to be fought by the party and Garth, before she returned to sap what remained of Grey's life force. She used the crystallized mineral deposits from the Titan's blood, alongside many of her constructs and Everwyn's corpse, to perform her ritual in Mt. Poussi's caldera, converting herself into a massive colossus. She fought the party as the only thing standing in her way, with the fight being ended by a critical throw of Zulnut's cock by the hands of Grog.
== Relationships ==
=== Xenoz ===
Morticia detests what Xenoz stands for, thinking that their faith in human capability without magic is ignorant and regressive.
== Notable Moments ==
* Corrupting at least one thing in 6 of the 9 major kingdoms in Ikarion
* Locking the Titan's Grave, preventing it from phasing
* Performing a ritual to become an actual goddess
== Trivia ==
* Morticia was originally male, being named Mortimer, before Fenn made a design he liked better during the concept phase that happened to be female.
