Mors (Origins of Olympus)

Mors is a main character in Origins of Olympus. He is the adoptive son of Thanatos and a member of the Greek pantheon. 
== Bio==
Mors makes his first appearance in Origins of Olympus in Season 3. It is revealed that he is the adoptive son of Thanatos, the god of death, and the last remaining child of the demon goddess of death, Keres. Mors's violent personality has given him trouble throughout his entire life, which the audience finds that Thanatos banished Mors to a secluded prison due to unknown circumstances. Season 3 is a time period that Mors seeks to avenge Thanatos's death, grieving in his violent ways. 
==Appearance==
Mors is taller than most campers at Camp Oasis. Mors has dark brown skin with black hair that covers one of his eyes, which are azure blue with an Egyptian blue sclera. He has a small amount of black facial hair on his chin. His wings are a raven black; Mors wears a navy-blue robe with gold linings along the bottom that cross around his thighs. Around his shoulders, he wears a space blue shoulder cape, connected by another blue gem rimmed in gold. Around his neck, Mors wears a necklace with three skulls in the place of where jewels would be; he also wears a golden bangle bracelet around each wrist, and dark brown sandals. The symbol Theta (θ) sits on both hands. Airing in the first episode, Mors wears a skull helmet with ram horns that decorate the upper sides of the skull.
Mors has a "true form" that he takes after his mother, Keres. [See Skills, Abilities, and Weapons]
==Personality==
Mors is someone who has conflicting personalities. On one end, he's a silent and brooding person who only talks when needed, and the other end, he is a brutal man if you get on his bad side. He nearly choked Nefeli to death when they made a mistake and he almost beat Ciaran to death because he brought back the Seductive Rose, the one who killed his adoptive father, Thanatos. Even though he has these qualities, he has a merciful side, like when he gives those he hates deadlines and uses a rational side to prevent things from becoming too ugly.
==Plot==
At the beginning of Season 3, Mors is introduced through The Invisible Davis's point of view. The audience finds Mors to be imprisoned in a highly secure underground prison created by Thanatos, Mors's father. Korina goes to tell Mors of Thanatos's passing, as it has been ten years since the last time Mors had seen Thanatos. With this grief-stricken news, Mors flies into a rage, breaks free of his prison, and goes back to Thanatos's palace with Korina. 
From then on, Mors is determined to find Thanatos's killer. With some help from some outside sources (Nefeli, Luchnos, and allies), Mors narrows down his father's killer to be the Seductive Rose, who was set free from his crystals by Ciaran. Mors goes to find Ciaran to interrogate him on how to defeat the Seductive Rose—and potentially kill Ciaran out of vengeance. Mors attempts to go fight the Rose on his own, but he does not succeed. 
With help of new, reluctant allies (Bryan, Inpu, their children), Mors goes to defeat the Seductive Rose, which turns out to be successful—but Xiphos is not killed due to Mors's change of heart over his father's death. Mors goes back to Thanatos's palace and peacefully remembers and properly grieves over Thanatos's grave, no longer seeking vengeance. 
Side-Plot: A romantic connection forms between Mors and Korina, a childhood best friend that has been a servant at Thanatos's palace for years. With some bumps along the way, Mors and Korina end up as a couple at the end of Season 3.
==Skills, Abilities, & Weapons==
*Wings: Mors black wings give him the ability to fly to great heights, such as the Seductive Rose's hideout and around Thanatos's palace. He also uses them to his advantage when facing battles.
* Unnamed Telekinetic Powers: [ Subject to Change] Mors uses unnamed telekinetic powers when found useful in tense situations, as well as using them for his personal gain when angered. An indigo-blue shines from these powers when used, matching Mors's eyes. The telekinetic powers can specifically be found when fighting the Seductive Roses and choking Nefeli. Mors pairs his powers with his wings when battling other characters.
*Thanatos's Scythe: When escaping prison, Mors is informed by Korina that, when Thanatos had perished, Thanatos's Scythe was left in Hell due to how Korina could only carry Thanatos back to the palace. Mors goes to retrieve his father's scythe, but once brought back, he refuses to use it until he avenges his father's death. The scythe has a long, black hilt that leads to a blade with a bone-white cutting edge paired with the top of the scythe's blade to be a faded royal purple. Within the purple is a singular, large blue eye with a similar color to Mors's eyes, as well as a large, black protruding swoop that appears similar to an eyebrow. Two portions—one on the top and one on the side—within the purple is two mouths with jagged teeth.
* True Form: Mors's true form is revealed towards the end of Season 3, when he goes to meet his mother Keres, the goddess of violent death. His "true form" is genetically passed down from his mother. Mors's black hair turns to a silver-gray color, and the rest of his body—except for the ventral side of his torso—is an ashy-gray color that turns into fur. On his sternum, there is the symbol Theta (θ) in white. Mors has a silver-gray beard to match with his hair. Gray ram horns sit on either side of his head, and his two blue eyes turn into four. His clothes stay the same, except for his torso covering to be ripped off. 
==Relationships & Family==
Korina (played by Queen Kat): Korina is a servant in Thanatos's palace. Korina and Mors have been best friends since their childhood (Korina(7 years of age) and Mors(9 years of age)), though grew apart in their teenage years due to Mors becoming a rebellious teenager and Korina taking on more household tasks. Throughout Season 3, the two's childhood friendship grows into something more. At the end of the season, they are a couple. Korina and Mors balance each other's personalities as Korina keeps Mors levelheaded when she can, and Mors takes risks for the both of them when a decision is agreed upon. 
Luchnos (Nos) (played by Damien Candle): Luchnos (or known as "Nos" throughout Season 3) is a secretary-like servant to Thanatos. Nos is kept in a bottle that resembles something close to a genie-like lamp. Nos is kept in the bottle until Mors comes back from prison, which Mors throws the bottle at the wall and Nos is released. Due to Thanatos's demise, Nos is now of aid to Mors as Mors has taken his father's place as the King of Purgatory. Nos is known as the messenger for Thanatos, as Nos can listen through candles and gather information. He plays an important role in gathering information for Mors to defeat the Seductive Rose at the end of the season. 
Nefeli (played by Kainabunny): Nefeli is a traveler-messenger for their father, Hermes. Nefeli is brought to Thanatos's palace at the beginning of Season 3 and is forcefully recruited by Mors to dig for information on Thanatos's death. No friendship arises, only a business relationship. Mors threatens Nefeli many a-times and chokes and kills them towards the climax of the story. 
Thanatos (played by The Invisible Davis): Thanatos is the adoptive father of Mors. Towards the beginning of Season 3, Thanatos is believed to be Mors's genetic father, but the middle of the season, it is revealed he is not. Rather, he had adopted Mors from Keres when Mors was an infant, scared that Keres would kill Mors like she has done with her other offspring. Thanatos raised Mors, and even took on the task of raising Korina when she was brought to him at a young age. Though, due to the good of Mors, Thanatos imprisons Mors in attempts to shield his violent powers away due to an unexplained event. Mors still thinks of Thanatos as a father throughout the entirety of the season, despite discovering Thanatos to be his adoptive father and locked Mors away for ten years. 
Keres (played by Queen Kat): Keres is the goddess of violent death. Her presence appears towards the end of Season 3, when Mors discovers his mother to be Keres. Keres is a violent individual, which Mors takes after genetic-wise. Mors visits the goddess but discovers his "true form" and sees how arrogant and deceiving she is, so he does not associate himself with Keres in a public environment. Mors rather thinks of Thanatos as his true parent. 
==Trivia ==
*Mors's name happens to be Latin for 'death', much like how his father's name, Thanatos, means 'death' in Greek.
*The Greek symbol Theta (θ) appears on both of Mors's hands and his "true form's" sternum. It can be a symbol relating to Thanatos and death. It was also known in Ancient Greece to be a branding of someone with the death penalty.
*The child appearance of Mors shows up in both the main series and the spin-off series "Korina's Origin" in the perspective of Queen Kat as child Korina.
*The only person Mors is truly kind to is Korina.
*Mors is bisexual.
*As a god, Mors is stuck at age 25 physically, but he is actually 32 years old.
