## Backstory

Nothing is known about the early life of The Dark Lord, only that he had a close relation with an equally powerful wizard known as Nyriod the Great. He was responsible for starting the Great War, creating and leading The Dark Army, and forming the powerful and deadly group known as the Generals of Death.

He saw great power in the eight generals and enhanced them by giving each of them a part of his own blood and magic. He promised each of them that they would all get something they wanted from the "New World". Mortis claimed that the world needed "cleansing" from death and destruction, and that the only way to do this was one huge wave of a mass genocide. He believed that if he could use magic to change the very world itself, those that live on will be much happier and he would be seen as a god.

During the Great War, Mortis clashed with someone he was close with, Nyriod. In the end, Mortis was slain by the wizard, his essence scattering across each of the eight GoDs. Afterwards, majority of the GoDs went into hiding and slowly gained power and influence over Kaevos, aiming to resurrect Mortis.

## Personality

Mortis was said to be very cunning and manipulative, he was seen as someone who prayed on the weak and vulnerable to control them. Nyriod saw the GoDs as victims to Mortis' lies.

Despite being seen as an evil creature, Mortis was respected for his knowledge and for being wise. He didn't kill for the fun of it like Ugok Dunmar did, instead he saw the benefit of keeping those he deemed strong and powerful alive to make them his allies.

## Powers, Skills & Abilities

Although a necromancer, Mortis could do more than raise the dead. His knowledge of the arcane arts was immense, he knew almost every spell and could conjure any curse to his will. He, along with Nyriod, was one of the most powerful beings the world had seen.

As well as being powerful, Mortis was intelligent. He was could offer great prizes and deals to sway people. He also exceeded in tactical skills as well as leadership.

## Trivia

* Many people believe Mortis is a human due to his name being very similar to the human name 'Victor', but it's strange spelling has lead people to believe he was an elf instead
