Lorenzo Morelli

**Lorenzo “Lore” Giuseppe Giulio Morelli** *(born May 31, 1991)* is an agent of **The Phoenix Foundation** and the twin brother of Letty Morelli. He works as an In-House specialist in Culture, Language and Linguistics.

## Early Life

Lore was born on May 31, 1991. According to Letty, his mother died from Eclampsia while giving birth to him and his sister, leaving him and his sister to be raised by his Italian grandmother, Chiara.

He went to college at the University of Cagliari in Italy and has two master degrees in Archeology and Languages and Literatures as well as a bachelor’s in Cultural Heritage. He was recruited to the Phoenix Foundation after college, much to the dismay of his sister.

## Personality

Lore has a very laid-back and playful personality. He enjoys teasing and making fun of his sister. Though the older twin, sometimes the team forgets that Lore is actually the older twin since Letty is the more serious one.

Despite the playfulness of his personality, Lore is shown to be serious when the situation demands him to be.

Despite the obvious animosity towards his sister, he is clearly shown that he cares about her. He mentions to MacGyver during his wilderness survival trip that when he heard about Letty’s loss of hearing he started learning sign language in case that was the only way he could communicate with her. He mentions to Jack that he avoided a lot of uneasy questions about his background that Letty had been asking because he didn’t want him and his sister getting hurt by the answers to them.

## Relationships

### Family

#### **Letty Morelli**

Lore and Letty were said to be pretty close as kids, but as the two became adults there was some animosity towards each other which wasn’t helped by their grandmother comparing their accomplishments.

The twins more recently have been shown to grow closer, even going so far as having seemingly mental conversations with each other.

Chiara is Lore's maternal grandmother who is originally from Italy. They have a good relationship with each other, but recently, Lore has been pushing back against his grandmother for treating Letty the way she has.
