## Biography

### History

Morgan was set to be betrothed to Lady Alyrra Loneleaf, but Torrhen rejected the proposal. Morgan held some form of disdain for Torrhen since then and some for his father who he believed did not try hard enough.

### War of The Five Kings

When hearing about the death of his Brother, Uncle and Cousins; Duncan, Berec and Edwyle, Morgan became extremely reclusive, isolating himself away with his own thoughts.

Once hearing of his Fathers illness, Morgan took matters into his own hands and made himself acting Lord of Snowburn Keep, at some point murdering his father. He thereafter visited Blackpool, offering his hand to Lord Elric Slate's daughter Sansa. He was refused, and remained as a guest until ready to leave. That night, Morgan and the small host that came to Blackpool with him began plotting. Elric Slate would leave the following day with his army to support Stannis Baratheon, he did not return. Morgan soon after styled himself as Lord of Blackpool with his new 'wife' Sansa.

He personally renounced his vassalage under House Tallhart and sent a raven, declaring his oath under House Bolton while he held Blackpool, the seat of House Slate.

Morgan managed to get oaths of loyalty from Houses under Slate, such as; House Caulfield and House Hollow. Houses: Orland and Loneleaf however swore no such oaths.

Morgan would issue strikes to Leaf Bastion in waves over the course of a week, intimidating his 'rightful' vassals. His men managed to kidnap Lord Torrhen's daughter Alyrra during their raids.

As Rodrik Loneleaf planned his assault in retaliation. Morgan's sister, Meghan would arrive at Blackpool demanding his brother cease his foolishness and return Lady Alyrra and free Lord Slate's remaining family. Upon the arrival of the Loneleaf host at the Snowburn camp near Blackpool, Rodrik and Morgan discussed terms, Meghan was present. Rodrik promised Morgan's death next day, to which Morgan replied one of them will indeed fall.

Lord Morgan's host would just narrowly be defeated after the host of House Elliver joined the Loneleaf's, Orland's and Halham's. Morgan would seclude himself within Blackpool, not being able to send a raven to the remainder of his army at Snowburn Keep he was urged by his lieutenants to surrender. They were all killed. Morgan's madness had taken over his mind and he planned to execute his hostages, until Meghan stepped in, to which he would execute her himself in a rage.

Morgan was struck by shock, grief and regret at killing his sister, and as the Loneleaf host arrived at the castle, he knew if was over, but challenged them to a siege. Morgan was stabbed in the throat by Arylla Loneleaf on the castle walls, his men did nothing except open the gates and surrender.
