Morzogo

* Post-Brandshock
* Pre-Brandshock

**Morzogo** (MORE-zuh-goh) is a cold Vani invading Earth. He is the Vani who controlled Mavra Kamenev and forced him to kill millions with his Amplifier, the **Tundra Lens**.

## History

### Pre-Brandshock

Morzogo was born an orphan, his parents unknown to him. When he was only a few cycles old, he was taken under the wings of an archaeological survey team, and would be raised into a member who helped determine what minerals his teammates may find in a specific area.

At the age of 115, Morzogo and his team went on an archaeological survey to a Kval-ladened forest within a Devarian district. While his supervisors went on to discuss business-related things among each other, he wandered off into the woods and hungry, stole some fruit from a nearby basket. This is when he met Xelzerin, who caught Morzogo trying to flee the scene. Fortunately for him, Xelzerin was forgiving and even gave him a free fruit basket. Grateful for the gift, Morzogo soon departed to meet up with his superiors, promising his new friend to visit again in the future.

As he got older, Morzogo eventually became the director of his own survey team.

Following the Brandshock, Morzogo could only initially remember receiving ridicule from his superiors for being physically weak. This perceived weakness of his made him hesitant to join the mercy mission, until he was given the Tundra Lens.

## Personality

Pre-Brandshock, Morzogo is a shy, socially awkward, and lonely Kraizen. While not intentionally rude, he sometimes get snappy or defensive, especially when focused, making befriending others even more difficult for him. Though lacking in social skills, he is incredibly scholarly. As he'd spend much of his time reading books, he has a vast amount of knowledge on subjects such as ancient Kraizen civilization and biology, proving him to be an invaluable member to his team.

Post-Brandshock, Morzogo is cold in both a literal and figurative sense. A stoic and professional being, he typically observes from a distance, carefully planning his next course of action. Any moments of happiness will lead to him denying those feelings, giving others the impression that he is never satisfied. His calculating nature also gives way to perfectionism. While he won't throw a tantrum if things don't go his way, he will make sure his feelings of unhappiness are known. After obtaining the Tundra Lens, he has become extremely egotistical, believing himself to be immortal.

## Relationships

### Mavra Kamenev

Morzogo's tether. He views Mavra as nothing more than a mean to carry out his role in the mercy mission, keeping his distance from the boy and keeping him brainwashed throughout his attack.

### Xelzerin

Initially, Morzogo was rather dismissive of Xelzerin. However, once Xelzerin gave him a basket of fruit for free, he began to warm up to the harvester, a friendship between them forming. He found himself able to relax around Xelzerin, finding his kindness to be endearing. As the cycles passed, they'd continue to be friends and also became trade partners; Morzogo would offer Xelzerin tools and protection in exchange for food.

### Insinera

Dislikes her. For unknown reasons, he doesn't trust Insinera around his camera.
