Yancey Morgan

Yancey Morgan was a Wraith who lived in the 19th century United States.

Biography

Abused and unwanted as a child due to his ungainly appearance, Morgan fell in with a hard bunch. He thought with his fists and showed no mercy, since that's all he knew. Still, he grew increasingly unhappy. Gideon rescued Morgan from his downward spiral, and brought him into the posse. Morgan discovered great personal satisfaction in becoming a bounty hunter instead of a criminal. He was too simple to unlearn his violent behavior, though, and brings his great rage to bear on lawbreakers of all stripes.

Profile

• Image: Morgan is a huge man, almost seven feet tall. He was never terribly pleasant looking, and the claws of the Wendigo didn't help any. Still, most people note his sheer size and don't comment on his scarred visage. Morgan moves deceptively fast, his heavy lumbering gait surprisingly silent and fluid.
• Roleplaying Hints: Although you're not the sharpest tack on the board, you aren't the stereotypical "dumb muscle." You're not sure what happened to you recently, and figure it's best not to think about it too hard. You're cautious of others, because you know that you're the type people like to trick since they know they can't beat you by force. Still, you react almost reflexively to obvious authority. Gideon is your beacon in more ways than one. He not only gives you direction, but his almost palpable aura of command fuels your Passions.
• Destiny: Morgan's future is tied directly to Gideon's. At this point, the Shadow Lord is the only thing that keeps Morgan going. Gideon's ultimate failure causes Morgan's Shadow to gain purchase over the big wraith, and Oblivion follows swiftly.
