Morpheus (Morrigan3's Lair)

== History ==
=== The Triplet's Arrival ===
When the Nocturnes came, at the height of midwinter, Ramona
 and Lucien were too busy establishing their lair and caring for the hatchlings to pay any mind. Until, on an resource gathering expedition, Lucien found an egg, just beginning to hatch. When Kazul emerged from her shell, he knew that, prepared or not, their clan had a new hatchling. During the next week he found 2 more of the strange eggs, all beginning to hatch and all apparently abandoned.
The three, hatched close together and raised together, developed strong sibling bonds. They took mates and reared a set of young together upon reaching adulthood, but those relationships were transient and their closest connections remained with each other. To date, only Kazul has taken a permanent mate, another Nocturne named Roxim who understands and accepts her bonds with her brothers.
== Personality ==
When Lucien finds new members for the clan, Morpheus knows how best to make them feel at home, and has facilitated a number of close friendships between clanmates. He was instrumental in Kazul's romancing of Roxim (and the other's subsequent change of clans), and is insistent that he can find the perfect match for Hypnos (to his brother's mild amusement), though he has no desire for a mate of his own, or more hatchlings. 
Recently, however, he has developed a fascination with the clan's newest permanent member, the strange Mirror, singer, and storyteller Artemis (to his sibling's endless amusement). 
== Appearance ==
Much of Morpheus' garb is modeled upon his adoptive father, Lucien, from the Wizard's hat to the sturdy vest. He adds his own flair with a brightly colored scarf, and is frequently followed about by a tame dove he rescued from predators during an exploratory mission.
== Abilities ==
Morpheus is a fairly talented mage, and has a great love of learning only rivaled by his capacity to memorize and interpret information. He acts as Lucien's aid on his exploratory missions, and has a talent for knowing which people will fit together well.
== Recent Events ==
Though he has yet to tell anyone (even his sibs), ever since the clan completed it's tunneling project and opened access to the Observatory, Morpheus has been having strange dreams. So far, there have been only 2 recurring themes:
# vast libraries inhabited by figures he can't quite remember upon waking, and
# listening to ballads sung by Artemis, the odd Mirror who joined their clan just after the Brightshine Jubilee
== Trivia ==
* Morpheus is one of 2 (known) Asexual dragons in the Sanctuarium, and is also Aromantic.
