**Ben "Morton" Hammorton Jr.**, usually referred to as just "Morton" is a major character in The Koopaling Show. He is one of the seven powerful Star Children that were "adopted" by King Bowser Von-Koopa II of the Koopa Kingdom. He has been living in the Koopa Castle since 2010, but he still keeps close contact with his biological family. Morton has a low pitched voice and typically speaks in a calm manner.

### Appearance

Morton is a medium-large sized Dragon Koopa with grey-brown skin, a light grey underbelly, a pale yellow snout, and a white head. He has three black strands of hair on top of his head as well as for his eyebrows. He wears a grey-brown color spiked shell, and like all the other Koopalings (excluding Wendy); he wears spiky cuffs on each of his wrists. He has a large grey star-shaped mark on the left side of his head, which is a result of Morton having vitiligo.

### Personality

Morton typically is the most calm and mature Koopaling, most likely because he is the oldest of the group and that he has asperger's syndrome. He loves cars, eating/cooking, writing, woodworking, and he is much better at dealing with young children than with teenagers. He typically speaks politely to people but sometimes gives attitude or says rude comments to people he's more familiar with.

### Backstory

#### Childhood

Morton was born in the Luncheon Kingdom to Benjamin and Delilah Hammorton. He was born as "Benjamin Junior", and was the third (and last) child of the couple, having an older sister Kim and an older brother Luke.

He was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 6, and was sometimes bullied because of his disorder. Morton did have some friends however, and he got along with his Siblings, Parents and extended Family very well.

Things took a sudden turn for Morton's life when his Father got fired. The reason being that he made a controversial/political post on Facebloop, while being unaware he was logged onto the company account.

After being fired right before getting promoted to his dream position; Morton's Father started heavily drinking, which quickly turned him into an alcoholic. He was always in a bad mood, he would lash out at his family, and in some cases would even get aggressive.
