Mortimer Folcheart

Mortimer 'Mo' Folcheart is the deuteragonist of Cornelia Funke's famous Inkheart trilogy, translated from the Germany. He is the father of Meggie and the arch-nemesis of the greedy tyrant and criminal mastermind Capricorn, Capricorn's trusted follower Basta and others, like Adderhead and Flatnose. He is the best friend of Dustfinger, the tritagonist of the franchise, and the nephew of Elinor Loredan, a major character.
==Personality==
In the first book, Mo is a goofy and loving dad, if sad underneath, and while he may be physically imposing, he's a thoroughly nerdy person. He starts to undergo some alarming changes in book 2, and by book 3 he is a hardcore warrior, and sometimes just an jerk. He finally does find a happy medium, though, going back to his old life as much as he can. Despite the fact that he is usually a very nice, goofy and nerdy guy with a kind heart, Mo has a ruthless streak that only grows more noticeable in Inkdeath.
== Abilities ==
Mo is a skilled bookbinder and single father. In the incident where he read Dustfinger and his new enemies out of Inkheart, Mo also read his wife, Resa, into the Inkworld. Ever since, Mo's raised Meggie by himself, and he's determined to keep her safe.
