## Basic Information

Mortimer Derek Deathsson III, also known as Morthis in hell, is a 35-years old shadow Sinner demon. He is a supporting deuteragonist of the series and a inhabitant of the hotel.

## Appearance

Morthis is a lanky, small boy. Even though he is 35, he has the physical appearance of a 12-years old.

He has black eyes, a purple skin, water buffalo horns with one broken off and an eyepatch with an x on it.

In his full demon form, Morthis is huge, ink-black, ink is leaking all over him, has giand horns and sharp teeth.

After The explosion in the final episode, and the reveal that he was alive in season 2 episode 4, Morthis has recieved a few small tweaks in his design, like a few rips in his suit, while also having a small device near his heart that pumps ink in his body 24/7, claiming that "he can't live without it".

### Clothing

**"Dude, it's trivia night. I might have been a total bitch to everyone i knew when I was alive, i still have the right to wear a tophat."**

*-Morthis to Husk, after the latter mentions his attire.*

1. Mercenary suit: he wears a red suit, a black shirt and a red tie. He also wears this suit with a purple tophat on trivia nights and talent shows.
2. Earth clothes: Because Morthis doesn't want to be recognised, Morthis wears a fedora and trenchcoat on earth. These attributes are also used in his Monochrome suit.

## Personality

**"Damn you, vending machine! I will blow you up!"**

*-Morthis after his Nacho's get stuck in the vending machine*

In stark contrast to other overlords, Mothis is quite child-like and simple-minded. He is irritated by seemingly random things and his feelings can be hurt quite easily, although it is just as easy for his feelings to recover. He is also somewhat fascinated with blowing up things and constantly uses it as a threat, althought only actually doing it 3 times in season 1: Once in episode 5 (Throwing a grenade to a garbage truck), once i episode 9 (accidentally blowing up a couch after drinking gasoline and snapping with his fingers), and once in episode 13 (to neutralize Kathy Killjoy in the basement, more on that later).

From Season 2 and on, Morthis has a small temper and actually blows up a lot of objects and places.

## History

### Life

Born in 1987, Mortimer was raised by his single mother and elder sister, Lydia, and they had a great life together. Even thought kids at school laughed at his weird last name, Morthis could never actually give a f\*ck. He loved his life, his NES, and his family. Althought sometimes being a little basterd towards his sister, they got along very well.

### Death

**"Deer!!!"**

*-Morthis' last words*

On a late night, Mortimer and Lydia were in the car. lydia, now 21, was driving, while the 12-years old Mortimer was sitting next to her in the passenger seat. They were talking about how their day went. When suddenly, a deer walked on the road, so he warned his sister and she turned the car. What she didn't know, was that her car was heading towards a cliff, and the car crashed, killing both of them instantly.

Even thought he expected to go to hell, Mortimer, now a sinner demon in the Pride ring, has come to know that his sister wasn't in heaven. Apparently, God didn't expect such a quick death, and decided to send her to purgatory. Enraged, Mortimer changed his name to Morthis and decided that it was time for him to become a freelance mercenary, to eventually become powerful enough to justify his sister's cruel fate.

### Helluva Boss

Morthis is shown fighting Blitzo in a flashback. This probably takes place before the events of Hazbin hotel, since Morthis is a retired mercenary in Hazbin and Blitzo doesn't have his white mark.

### Hazbin Hotel

#### Season 1

Morthis has fought and trained a lot over the years being a mercenary, and became powerful enough to be considered as an overlord, while also having a short friendship with Vox and Valentino. After witnessing some "Weird, kinky stuff" that the latter was famous for, Morthis decided that the friendship isn't particularly healthy, and decides to leave both of them, while also having a particular hate for Valentino.

After over 15 years of extermination, Morthis decided that he "doesn't enjoy killing anymore" and retires as a mercenary.

Morthis was teased in the second episode of season 1. He is seen in a blank room sitting on a folding chair, with grenades and pens hanging on the wall. There, he watches the "Happy Hotel" live advertisement, First laughing it off, but then thinking that maybe it isn't a bad idea, and the next day he calls Alastor if there is place there and if someone could pick him up.

When Vaggie and Angel Dust come to pick him up in a car, Morthis insist on walking there, but Angel grabs him with all his arms and shoves him in the back. Vaggie sees him having severe PTSD. When Vaggie asks why he is scared, Morthis doesn't say a word. When arrived, Morthis just goes to his room and lies in his bed.

Two whole episodes later, Charlie decided that it should be a good idea to take all hotel patients to the carnival, including Morthis. Charlie witnesses Morthis "Pulling off a Dark Knight reference" to a clown. Morthis asks the clown if he wants to know how he got his scars,telling the clown his backstory, before ripping the latter's eye out. Most of the demons are in shock to witness Morthis' "dark side", but Charlie says that it is a good way for him to express himself. Morthis, being ashamed of his actions, promises that it will never happen again, and from that instance, Morthis wears the asylum jumpsuit when going to group therapy.

Morthis is for most of the season seen hanging out with Ian Mercer, talking about things he hates, like going to the barbershop and people who tell you to "calm down" and his desire to blow them up. Eventually, he and Ian help Angel Dust to get the latter out of Valentino's claws.

In the season finale, during the raid on the Hotel, Morthis and Angel Dust were having a long lasting fight with Katie Killjoy. The latter eventually stabbed Morthis in the heart with a knife, thinking that would kill him, but instead of dying, Morthis laughed. He then went on to reveal his full demon form, broke some gas pipes, and proceeded to attack Kathie, now more violently. He then yelled at Angel Dust to run upstairs as fast as posibble, and shot a magic missile against a metal surface, causing the basement to explode and collapse.

#### Happy Hotel Renovation comic

In this comic, which is set between seasons 1 and 2, Charlie is trying to renovate the hotel after the raid, and turned Morthis' room into a memorial. However, it is revealed that Morthis survived the collapse of the basement, as he is shown watching the live interview about the happy hotel renovation in a collapsed room, presumably the basement, as he is working on a device.

#### Season 2-4

In the 4th episode, when the gang was talking about what they should do with the basement, Morthis comes up the basement stairs, saying that "A wine storage would be awesome." When asked about how he managed to survive the explosion, he states that he "got very lucky" and that he made a ink pump out of a stopwatch, a few plastic tubes and 5 milk cartons.

For the rest of the series, Morthis is seen having therapy sessions, talking to Ian, being a hired gun, being annoyed at seemingly random things, and hanging out with Alastor.

In Season 3 episode 8, however, Morthis goes to earth to buy all of the stocks of a rich tech company called Business Johnsson Industries, only so he can destroy the economy and threaten the public with a bomb he made. After talking to Ian and Vaggie, Morthis eventually realises that what he is doing isn't worth it, and he gives the CEO, Business Johnsson, all of the stocks back. this was a trick however, because when Johnsson steps in the building and Morthis goes out with Ian and Vaggie, Morthis snaps with his fingers and Business Johnsson Industries explodes, presumably because of the bomb he planted.

In the 12th episode of season 3, in Vox' room, we can see that Morthis is on the "In Debt" list. It is likely that Vox is planning to murder Morthis.

After being absent for one entire season, there is a post-credit scene where Morthis and Sir Pentious walking down the hall of the hotel, with a package in their hands. They enter Morthis' room wich says: "PDDG".

## Trivia

* The spikes that Morthis' hair has were inspired by the voice actor's sketches of himself.
* Morthis' personality, alongside his heart monitor-ink pump, are inspired by Bane from DC, especially the Harley Quinn-version.
	+ However, his ability to manipulate ink is a nod to the Bendy-series, and his temper in Season 2 based on Blight from Batman Beyond.
* Morthis speaks with a Nevadan accent, but in the teaser at the end of episode 2, he speaks with a Welsh accent.
	+ Another Bane Reference. This references the 2012 movie The Dark Knight Rises.
* Morthis stated in an interview that he never had spoken to an Ars Goetia since 2013, because "They speak a weird dialect that I cant understand. They keep asking my if i want "biscuits" when talking about someone's divorce with a kinky husband."
	+ Morthis is referring to the British accent that the Ars Goetia speak.
	+ "Kinky husband" is a nod to Stolas.
* Morthis has 4 fingers. a typical trait shared towards cartoon characters.
* Morthis' scars perfectly align with the glass shards that his corpse has in his eyes.
* Since season two, Morthis' theme has the sound of a mechanical pump in the background.

	+ The document he's writing in "The Mort of Wall Street" being the Navy Seals copypasta.
	+ His master plan in "Mort of Wall Street" being shooting a massive laser beam to shoot at the moon so that he could change the tides and be cartoonishly evil. This is a nod to Eggman's plan in Sonic Adventure 2.

	+ The flying spaghetti monster being visible in his "Multiverse Theory" collage.
