Mortimer Thule

**Mortimer Thule** is a mage who was once part of the Thule family.

## Story

### Break from Chains

Mortimer was born from Friedrich Thule, however, he was born without magical powers due to his weakening bloodline. This caused Friedrich to forcibly experiment on him, causing Mortimer a childhood of pain while Friedrich educated him with the values of the Thule. Then, Mortimer was forced to summon a Divine Servant to assist his father.

Mortimer thus summoned Pyrrha Nikos, and was quite harsh with her, physically abusing her and treating her as a tool, but after Pyrrha remained devoted to him and saved his life several times, even refusing to betray him, Mortimer came to realize the depths of her devotion and kindness and showed attachment to her, eventually respecting her, and together breaking free from Friedrich's influence, Mortimer ordering his death.

Allying with servant Dakini, Mortimer helped Pyrrha with winning the war, defeating Paul Seckendoff. As he was allowed a wish, he wished to discover happiness and be allowed to live freely alongside Pyrrha, which he did, eventually going to the Cheshire Isle alongside Dakini and Tomoe Yamainu, a woman Pyrrha closely befriended.

### A Master's Determination

Mortimer saw Pyrrha called to assist in stopping Tragoedia Roxanne, then saw Roxanne as she returned to their home at the Cheshire Isle. Eventually, seeking to prove himself, Mortimer decided to participate in another servant war and show his worth to those around him, arming himself with the Summoning Key of Esperin thanks to Merlin's help.

Mortimer thus made a reluctant alliance with Leila Seckendoff and helped her group with confronting several enemies, up to and including Larsimenus and the Atlantean Sanenaid. When Larsimenus severed the connection between ally Gwenael Hamilton and Leila, Esperin offered her horn to save them, showing her use and power, before leaving alongside Mortimer, returning to the Cheshire.

### Intervention in Twin Realm

Mortimer allowed Pyrrha to venture into Rokugan to protect Tomoe in a new, diverging Timeline, but when Pyrrha succumbed to the corruption of a Tragoedia seed, Mortimer rushed to Rokugan to protect her, using his powers to slow down Pyrrha's corruption and eventually taking the brunt of a Tainted assault to save her. Saved in turn by Tohkatsu Nomizaki, Mortimer joined Pyrrha during the last moments of the battle for Rokugan.

## Appearance

Mortimer is a blue-haired young man with bright blue eyes and a smug expression, dressed in semi-casual clothes.

## Personality

Mortimer was at first bitter, hateful and mocking, not hesitating to berate those around him, due to the education he was given. However, with Pyrrha's help, Mortimer managed to slowly grow into a better young man, although still slightly lacking maturity due to his literally tortured childhood. Passionate and seeking to become the center of attention through worth instead of power, Mortimer is now caring and strongly clings to the women around him.
