Alive

**Mordo "Mordo" Mordo** is a player character in Grand Delusions, played by *Sam (Fool)*. He is a firbolg druid and, of the True Neutral alignment. After a territorial scuffle with an energy company, Mordo left his home, and has been travelling Alta Vahr ever since.

 Personality

Mordo is a self-proclaimed "edgy fella". He is generally very quiet and calm, but has a tendency to bully people he considers "on the bottom of the food chain", a habit which he sites to be an integral part of " modern natural selection". He is slow to trust, and a staunch rationalist. He is also perceptive and insightful, but tends to completely ignore facts or details if they clash with his opinion or worldview. He is also incredibly lazy and will attempt to shirk most responsibilities, no matter how important.

Having lived in a completely isolated area for most of his life, Mordo was pretty unaware of many of the social norms of the modern world. Once he discovered these expectations in his travels, Mordo began to lean into them pretty heavily, despite not really knowing the format of a "joke" or "capitalism" or "restaurants".

 Story

### Prologue

After attempting to create flowers to give to Jongo in exchange for a drink, Mordo asked the bard to help him bully a wizard into giving them money, but was quickly prevented from enacting natural selection by Nude Bloodseeker III. Having been prevented from picking on the man for money, Mordo instead joined the party to get the poor man a book on necromancy from the library. Mordo, being pretty sure they were just stealing books from a store, saw the entire endeavor as a heist.

During the party's first journey, Mordo takes a bit of a backseat, mainly using his staff to bonk goblins and whatnot. After attempting to "fucking Zangief" some zombies, Mordo obtained a recipe book of poisons from a smoldering library. He really, really hoped that the book wasn't in cursive.

After receiving his exploding mission statement from the Luminaries after an easy night at the inn, Mordo attempted to shirk the mission entirely by steering the party towards a meat shop that sells the "modern convenience of brunch", which, for Mordo, consisted of a burnt rat and a leaf he found on the ground. Having failed to shirk work, Mordo instead attempted to avoid walking to the party's destination by turning into a worm, a form he maintained through the parties encounter with the young dragon Wyrmy, until he is forced to transform back into his regular form to execute a corrupt guard that Parvuli Sadis had put into a trance. He stays in Firbolg form for the rest of the journey, during which he "fucking green goblins" a magical conman who attempted to mug the party. After reaching Sanctuary, Mordo returned to his worm form and began sleeping in the pocket of the party's bard.

### Sanctuary

At the Sanctuary, Mordo decided to side with the Luminaries, pushed towards this decision by Jongo , who assured him it would be pretty fun.

### Time With The Luminaries

After being inoculated by the Luminaries, Mordo set off with the rest of his group to reclaim the first beacon shard. This mission proved to be successful. However, near the end of it, Mordo received a call from the Nudists (Faction) asking for his presence. He obliged, and rode off on Wyrmy in order to revondouz with his new party.

### Time With The Nudists

Mordo proved to be both extremely helpful and extremely troublesome during his time with the Nudists. While his massive arsenal of stupid spells proved to be extremely effective when taking down threats such as mind flayers, he also proved himself to be a hinderance in social situations. Despite this, he proved instrumental in taking down taking down the mind flayer, transporting PUGB and Fortnite, and reclaiming a replica of the Stalwart.

During the Nudists stalwart heist, Mordo was used as a prize in a gambling game. After the game had finished, Mordo kidnapped the woman they were gambling with and rode her off into the woods after impersonating Marty, a local monk, and saying that he was actually a cop. The woman is presumably dead. Mordo attempted to go back and look for her, but instead ran into the remaining Luminaries.

### Petrachorians

After the big fight, Mordo elected to stay in Petrichor in order to reclaim the Stalwart blade and take down Derrik. This proved to be a great time for Mordo, as he got some sick fuckin loot and got to hang out with some cool dudes.
