Character from Elden Ring by FromSoftware
The last king of Leyndell — an Omen born cursed, shunned by the Golden Order he spent his entire life defending. He loved a kingdom that would never love him back.
Morgott is the Shattering's greatest tragedy — not the demigod who fell furthest, but the one who was never allowed to stand. Born an Omen, he was imprisoned beneath Leyndell as an infant, chained in the Shunning-Grounds with his twin Mohg. The Golden Order he would later champion considered his very existence blasphemous. Yet Morgott loved the Erdtree with a devotion that bordered on madness. He escaped his imprisonment and secretly defended Leyndell against every demigod who marched on the capital. He appeared as Margit to test Tarnished at Stormveil's gates, never revealing his true identity. When he finally stands before you as king, there is no army behind him, no court, no subjects who know his name. He calls every demigod by name in his final speech and dismisses them all as unworthy — including himself. His death is quiet, almost grateful. The Erdtree he protected his entire life still refuses to open for him. He dies kneeling before a closed door, and the tragedy is that he expected nothing else. Unlike his other fellow demigods, Morgott had no interest in obtaining power for selfish reasons, let alone desire to become Elden Lord. Instead, Morgott pledges his loyalty to the Golden Order and views his siblings as traitors for going against it in favor of their own ambitions. As an Omen, however, he was detested by many and his honorable acts were not recognized, not even by the Golden Order. For this reason, he remained very bitter of his Omen nature, but even then, he chose to remain loyal and continue protecting Leyndell, believing loyalty to be a reward in its own right. When his mother disappeared from the world, Morgott was more focused on ensuring Leyndell wouldn't fall captive in the hands of his selfish siblings than to pursue his own goals. In contrast to his twin brother, Mohg, Morgott holds no malicious intent of any sort and is only carrying out his task because the Golden Order wills it. Due to this, he relentlessly goes out of his way to ensure those like the Tarnished are not to become Elden Lord, regardless of who they are or what their intentions are. Despite his loyalty, however, Morgott has questioned the intent of the Golden Order as he is unsure why it refuses Tarnished to become Elden Lord, especially later seeing that the refusal of a new Elden Lord could potentially lead to cataursophic problems for not just his kingdom, but the world itself. Even so, he refuses to go against their calling because of how devoted he has become to his role as the Erdtree's guardian.
Gaunt and regal, wrapped in tattered grey robes that conceal golden armor beneath — as if ashamed of his own majesty. Twisted Omen horns crown his skull, the mark of his cursed birth. He fights with a sacred staff that conjures spectral golden weapons from holy light. His movements are deliberate and kingly despite his hunched posture, and when his robes fall away in battle, the golden armor underneath reveals the monarch he always was.
