Morpheus

**Warning: This page contains spoilers! Proceed with caution.**

Morpheus is the God of Dreams of the Greek Pantheon and Korina's father. At the beginning of the series, he makes the decision to leave Korina in the care of Thanatos.

## Appearance

Morpheus is a moderately tall man with silver blue eyes, white hair and tanned skin. Though he is thousands of years old, he has the appearance of being middle-aged. Morpheus has two pairs of wings: a large pair on his back and a much smaller pair where his ears would be. They are both white like his hair, though they also have a blue gradient along the bottom.

He wears a long, dark blue tunic that is secured over the left shoulder with a gold pin and extends off into a short sleeve. It is layered over another blue tunic which wraps around his right arm instead, exposing much of his chest. He wears a silver belt around the tunic and has a gold bracelet on his right wrist.

## Lore

### Personality

According to Thanatos, Morpheus was quite adventurous in his youth, going to many parties in the mortal world. He also seemed to be a bit of a hopeless romantic, as he was very devoted to his partner, Asteria, with Thanatos comparing their relationship to a fairy tale.

This seems to have changed sometime after Korina’s birth, as we can see that even when Korina was just a child, he was a more harsh and cynical person. He does have some level of self-awareness and guilt for the way he treated his daughter, though he prefers to just avoid discussing the subject altogether rather than address it.

### Relationships

#### Asteria

Morpheus was very much in love with Asteria and appeared to be a devoted partner from his and Thanatos' descriptions of the relationship. They gave each other pet names and the star, presumably a keepsake from Asteria, is one of Morpheus' most cherished items. Even though she left, he seems to hold no grudge against her. He refused to give up her location to Zeus and he gets worked up whenever someone even mentions her name. Eventually, the grief over their relationship would lead him to leave his home to Korina and travel due to all the memories he held of Asteria in that house.

#### Korina

Korina reminds Morpheus of Asteria and the relationship he had with her that is now out of reach. As such, he neglected her as a child and avoids her now as an adult. He is aware that his treatment of Korina is unacceptable as a father and so he passed her off to be raised by Thanatos. He appears to regret his behavior towards Korina to some degree, though he seems to have no plans to fully reconcile with her anytime soon.

#### Thanatos

Thanatos is someone that Morpheus considers a brother, and vice versa. The two used to venture out into the human world together and go to parties. Thanatos was one of the few close witnesses to Asteria and Morpheus’ relationship and he was there for Morpheus when she left. Morpheus trusts Thanatos enough to leave his daughter Korina in his care.

## Skills/Abilities

### Dream Magic

As the God of Dreams, Morpheus has the ability to enter and alter dreams. Similarly to Korina, he has a dreamscape where he can access the dreams of others through doors. However, unlike Korina, he is not able to store dreams and his dreamscape is an infinite hallway that can lead to the dreams of anyone and everyone.

### Light Magic

It is mentioned that Morpheus can use light magic. However, the exact extent of his abilities is unknown.

### Flight

Morpheus is able to fly with the wings on his back.
