**Mordret** is the voice that Sunny heard from the darkness of the Sky Below. He is also the creator of the murderous Reflection Sunny had encountered on the Reckoning Island.

## Appearance

* Awakened
* Ascended

* Voice
* Reflection
* Soul Form
* Second Nightmare

### Awakened - Voice

His voice sounded pleasant and calm and seemed to have come from the darkness of the Sky Below itself.

### Awakened - Reflection

He first appeared somewhere as a reflection of a young man sitting on the stone floor in the center of the room with his hand chained behind his back.

### Awakened - Soul Form

He was dressed in a simple tunic, its fabric long devoid of any color. He wore no armor and didn't seem to bear any weapon. But he was radiating immense pressure from his slender figure. His face seemed familiar, he looked exactly like a slightly older, male version of Morgan of Valor. The resemblance was so striking that it could only be shared by siblings. Based on Sunny, all around the Prince of Nothing, he could see a pale golden glow — the light of divinity.

### Awakened - Second Nightmare

He first appeared as the fiend of the fog that lures people with its pleasant voice and people who listened disappeared without a trace. He was far more cunning and devious than any Nightmare Creature.

He then appeared wearing the body of the priestess who had been first sent to find him. Destroying his body was useless because he could just take another.

He showed up again as a reflection on the surface of the lake. A tall and slender young man, with pale skin and raven-black hair. His face was sharp and thin not exactly handsome, but at the same time charming and strangely beautiful.

His striking eyes didn't seem to possess a color of their own and instead reflected the world back on itself like two pools of liquid silver.

* Waking World

### Ascended - Waking World

A slender young man, dressed in dark armor, had pale skin and raven-black hair. His face was sharp and thin not exactly handsome but charming and beautiful. His eyes, which did not seem to possess a color of ther own reflected the world like two pools of liquid silver.

During the fight with Morgan, he lost one of his eyes and one of his hand.

He seemed very friendly due to the fact that he gave Sunny information about himself, and the Sky Below and also gave suggestions to survive the divine flame. He did not blame Sunny for what happened to him and his creature when the later said he killed it. He was also concerned about Sunny poisoning himself when he was eating the raw meat of a Nightmare Creature.

During the events inside the Night Temple, he had shown deep malice and uncanniness. Witnessing his handiwork, it seemed that he had a sadistic streak about him.

  ― Mordret to Sunny,Chapter 589 Dark Mirror

He had shown himself to be extremely cunning and meticulous, and even an ingenious deceiver like Sunny fell into his trap. However, his sadistic way of killing and morbid displays of demented butchery were utterly impractical and did not fit into his image of a cold and calculating strategist.

According to Sunny, Mordret is unpredictable and dangerous, and his goals are unknown.

Opposite of his sister Morgan who had everything, Mordret had nothing and everything he had tried to make his was either destroyed or taken away.

## Aspect, Abilities & Flaw

**Rank**: ~~Awakened~~ → Ascended.

**Class**: ~~Terror~~ → - → Titan.

He can sacrifice his strength and split his cores to create reflections similar to a lesser version of Mirror Beast. He could also absorb back the reflections to increase his soul cores.

**Soul Cores**: ~~[6/7]~~ → ~~[1/7]~~ → [7/7].

Show/Hide Aspect Abilities

As a Sleeper, Mordret had been able to see through reflections, as well as travel through them both mentally and physically.

He can also use the drops of rain as mirrors to reflect the happenings in his surroundings. These are all projected into his head.

He had also been gifted with the ability to create helpers by shattering his soul.

 Awakening*(Awakened)* | 577
When he possesses another body, he leaves his actual body lifeless.
Unlike how he appeared in the soul battle where his soul cores are not hidden when in possession of another body his own soul is perfectly hidden.

According to Mordret, his second Ability enables him to enter people's souls through their eyes, and destroy them, but he had to defeat the soul first. During a soul battle, Mordret could rely only on his own prowess and on reflecting the power of the soul he was invading. Defeat meant death.

To win a soul battle, Mordret had to gain a better understanding of the enemy's power than the enemy possessed, often in seconds. The corrupted souls of Nightmare Creatures were even more deadly. Mordret had to be better, smarter, have greater skill, possess a deeper understanding of combat, and break and manipulate his opponent. There was no trick to it. The best way to win a soul battle was to prepare by studying the enemy in advance, to learn the details and intricacies of their Aspect. It was better if he had managed to shake the enemy, making their soul weaker.Wearing an Awakened body was challenging as he was not free from being pulled into the Dream Realm every time he slept and it made him vulnerable because his own power as a Master was restrained and an Awakened power was not enough to protect him. Wearing a Master or Saint body would have been safer.

Previous VesselsList of Mordret's previous vessels:
* **✞**A Lost that possessed an Aspect that allowed him to create puppets out of dead bodies.
* **✞**A female sentinel that possessed a veil of invisibility.
* Welthe
* Old priest that tend to the Ivory Lord.
* Squire Warren, warrior of Valor Clan.
* A monstrous winged abomination

### Reflections

Second NightmareDuring the second nightmare:
* ~~2 Beasts~~ *(Absorbed)*
* ~~2 Monsters~~ *(Absorbed)*
* A Demon

**Note**: Notice that Mordret can only absorb back 6 cores which adds up to 7 cores *(aka Titan)*.Battle of the Black SkullDuring the Battle of the Black Skull he had six Transcendent Reflections. The mirror shards became the Reflections of:
* Whispering Blade *(Destroyed by the Transcendent Titan)*
* Summer Knight *(Destroyed by Saint)*
* Sky Tide *(Destroyed by the Transcendent Titan)*
* Beastmaster *(Destroyed by the Transcendent Titan)*
* Silent Stalker *(Destroyed by the creature from category four gate)*
* Dire Fang *(Destroyed by the Transcendent Titan)*

### Battle Ability

Mordret is a genius when it comes to combat. It was his skill and talent that truly makes him dangerous. The ability to mirror someone's Aspect sounds terrifying but he has to fight someone with their own Aspect seconds after coming in possession of it which is not an easy feat. Inside the Soul Sea, he can mirror the Aspect of his enemy and use the same Abilities by charging them with the power of multiple cores. Since he sacrificed his personal power to create five mirror monsters, that made the overall threat he represents far greater, but the danger to one's soul far lesser.

## Background

The ruins here are all but destroyed by the endless cycle of the Crushing, but if one knows where to look, there are still some answers left to find.* | ”

He created the Ascended Reflection, Mirror Beast when he was just a lonely kid and they were together for a long time before they weren't anymore. He had his First Nightmare when he was twelve.

He was raised in the Dream Realm and only returned to the waking world when he was around thirteen.

## Trivia

* He is not from the Sanctuary of Noctis. Instead, he was imprisoned inside the Night Temple.
* During his first conversation with Sunny, his voice can't be recorded by Ordinary Rock.
* They were able to talk due to the mirror shard that the Ascended Reflection in Reckoning Island had left behind, smeared with his blood.

* Based on the runes of Cruel Sight, he was supposed to be the young prince that the *Dreamspawn* had taken away as payment for the deal made by his father and later returned but was met with fear and suspicion.

[...Full of pride, the noble knight made a deal with the Dreamspawn. Years later, the knight had defeated all his enemies and became a mighty king. On the day that his son uttered the first word, the Dreamspawn came to the king and demanded his pay. He left the kingdom with the child and disappeared, never to be seen again. Much later, the young prince returned and stood beneath his father's throne. He expected to be met with joy and warmth, but was met with fear and suspicion instead.]

* When he was intrigued by Sunny due to his tattoo and his echo.
* He was looking for the Ebony Tower due to its connection to the original Ivory Tower. According to him, if one finds the connection, they might be able to reach past the Crushing and step foot on the heavenly isle.
* He seems to know a lot about the Prince of the Underworld and daemons.
* He thought Sunny was a legacy due to some things that suggest he has a certain background but then there are as many contradictions.
* He revealed that he was watching Sunny travel across the Dream Realm but chose not to speak. He fooled him to come to the Night Temple. Using the mirror shard he was able to break free from his prison at the Night Temple.
* He was a human at some point due to the knowledge of the waking world that he had shown. Only the Lost and human Echoes had been allowed to guard him.
* Pierce and Welthe are immune to his powers.

* The reason he had been imprisoned, why the Night Temple was closed off to strangers, and why only the Echoes and the Lost were allowed to guard him.

Echoes did not possess souls and couldn't be taken, while the Lost could not return to the waking world even if he somehow escaped and took them as a vessel and back in the waking world, catching him would be all but impossible.

* His hatred is aimed at clan Valor.
* He had the knife cut out of a single piece of a pristine white stone and somehow made it disappear without a trace.
* He was kept in an empty mausoleum inside the Night Temple for *six years* by the great, noble, and illustrious clan Valor.
* According to him, Sunny can't become real friends with him due to having the stench of a Dreamspawn. He thought Asterion was scheming something and that he was sent to Chained Isles by Asterion and hunt down his Beast.
* He knows that Sunny can't lie due to the Ascended Reflection, Mirror Beast had mirrored his Aspect and thus has glimpsed it. He also knows Sunny's true name.
* His reasons for making Sunny his vessel:
	+ Sunny's body even though just an Awakened suits his needs, an Aspect that gifted both stealth and teleportation abilities. It is perfect for escaping a Saint.
	+ Sunny possessed *Divine Aspect* just like him.
	+ He was curious about what allowed Sunny to make him blind back in *Ebony Tower*, a powerful anti-divination artifact. (Weaver's Mask)
* It was speculated that the Mirror Beast was a devil. It was either created as such or earned more cores in battles with powerful Nightmare Creatures. This can only mean that Mordret was more than a Terror once.
* He promised to kill two sovereigns: his father and Asterion.
* He allied himself with the Clan Song.
* He was revealed to have attended the Valor Clan ball due to Sunny's bluff while facing the bathroom mirror.
* He performed a painful ritual in Nether's tower that was supposed to shield him from Cassia's gaze.
* He communicated with Seishan through mirrors.
* Song of the Fallen is problematic for him due to her potent divination powers.
* Even though had tried to kill Sunny on several occasions, he somehow managed to survive. Nevertheless, he was strangely fond of the prickly Shadow. To him, Sunless is an interesting fellow and a Divine Aspect holder, the same as himself.
* In Chapter 1174, Mordret delivered Shtad's head to Morgan.
* In Chapter 1182, Mordret showed up with his actual body together with 6 reflections.
* Mordret and his sister, Morgan can be mistaken as twins due to the two of the looked so much alike.
* Despite being close to his goal, Mordret did not kill Morgan.Mordret failed to kill Morgan due to a gargantuan gate that opened in the sky
* He invited Sunny to challenge the Third Nightmare with him.
