Morgan Montague

Details

Morgan is a classic beauty. With her flawless skin, tall stature. And curvaceous body. Not to mention her large, expressive eyes and well-defined cheekbones. Her hair is as black as the night. Thanks to her having the deepest black hair imaginable. Something that stands in stark contrast with her pale skin. Creating a "Snow-white" effect. Her eyes are a light blue. Though, they are known to change their shade depending on how the lighting falls on them.

Morgan often wears very expensive clothing and jewels (often gifts from her lovers) Though she changes her wardrobe often. She can be seen in something new almost every day. She wears her hair up most of the time, too. In intricate styles. Morgans make-up if often heavy. Making use of rogue and vibrant color to paint her lips with. Making them stand out more. She even fills in her eyebrows from time to time, to draw more attention to her eyes. Morgan also often wears "beauty patches" On her face, but on her chest too. These can take the form of a simple dot, or a love heart.

I'm being very real here when I say; that Morgan really doesn't have any redeeming qualities. She's a vile woman all the way through. Morgan often wears a mask, one that's full of smiles and friendliness. But it's just an act. One she can't keep up for very long. The longer you know her, the more the mask will slip. And cracks start to appear. Even if she is still trying to maintain the facade. Morgan will only really drop the act. When there is no more use for it. When she has successfully lured her victim in, for example. Then she is a true nightmare. Mean spirited, vain and cold. She's a true narcissist. Only caring for herself and her own wants and desires. Those around her are merely a means to an end for her. Even her own daughter isn't exempt from this. While Morgan doesn't treat her badly. She only sees the girl as a tool. Her true father isn't known, for example. Since her mother has many lovers. Morgan often changes the identity of the girl's sire, whenever it fits her. Using the well-being of her daughter as a bargained chip. It's very manipulative, to say the least. Something Morgan definitely knows, but doesn't care about. She doesn't think manipulating others is a bad way to go about things. In fact, it's rather clever, she'd say. So it's fitting she uses the tactic. For she sees herself as some mastermind. And while she certainly isn't stupid by any means. Her greed and impatience. Makes her act recklessly, thus she often rushes through any man she makes. Leaving much room for mistakes. Morgan is also rather aggressive, thanks to her hart being filled with hate. She isn't above striking, or even attacking, someone. Or even herself. When she is in such a state, she almost appears delirious. Making it very hard to reason with her. Thus, the only way to make her calm down is usually to just give in. Though you could always try to fight fire with fire, if you think you can handle the ensuing struggle. Morgan is also an addict. Drugs, alcohol and shiny things. Being her obsession. To meet the ever-growing demand for such things. The woman has taken up a few extra streams of income. The first is gambling. Something Morgan has become a master in over the years. Winning, but also losing fortunes. But also dating several men. What they do or even they rank doesn't matter to her at all. Al long as they can see to her interests. That's why she even has relations with men from lower rings. But can provide for in other ways. She helps them too, of course where she can. Being a noble lady, she is often used in luring victims for the gangs she works with. Taking a part of the money made of any scheme is participates in. As for the man, who does have the means to financially provide for her. She expects a lot from them. Expensive gifts, you name it- all, so she can sell them later. Morgan doesn't really mind selling her body for it, though. Any pride and self-worth she might have had once is long gone by now.

Dark magic fits Morgan to a tee, perhaps especially because it's outlawed not only in Ashmore. But basically everywhere in Odiria. But because of that, it's hard to find like-minded people willing to put their lives on the line to practice the magic. Or even to write about it. Because of that, Morgan is mostly self-taught. And so not especially skilled. Though she does her best to better herself whenever she can. She uses the lifeforms of her victims (which at this point have only been animals) For rather simple curses. Mostly on objects. She uses it as a way to get ahead, or even to subtly fight back when provoked. 

Morgan was born as the last child between her mother Florence and her Father, John Adams. Sadly, the young girl didn't get to know her mother very well. Since she did shorty after having given birth to her third child. Some say her father let her die. Since he was unhappy with her convictions. Something that did seem in Character for the man. John Adams. Was a rich noble. But also very religious. Too much so. Almost everything was against the church in his eyes. It could be the smallest thing. It would set him off in a rage. And hard punishments were dealt out. As repentance. It's safe to say. Morgans childhood was miserable. Fun was strictly not allowed. And she and her siblings would spend long hours either studying. Or on their knees in prayer. Despite having her faith, Morgan actually grew up quite directionless. She didn't have anyone to look out for her. To guide her. Thus, she often felt lost. So when he fathers married a second time. She hoped that her new stepmother. Would be able to fulfill that role. But that didn't happen. Anna was treated just like Morgan and her siblings were. In fear of her father. However, as the woman of the house. Anna had it much worse. Their relationship became worse and worse. Until finally the poor woman suffered a mental breakdown. And instead of helping his wife through it. He declared her insane and had her send to an insane asylum. Morgan would never forget the day she watched her stepmother be dragged away. Crying and screaming all the way. Behind, forced to leave her two young daughters behind. After that day, Victoria and Mary started to attach themselves to Morgan. In hopes, she would take them under their wing. Her father caught on to this too. And more or less made it official. Forcing the child, to take care of two other children. Making her life even harder. Morgan resented not only her father, but her two half siblings for this development. Time passed. And one day the family received a letter. One that stated that Anna Knightly had died. She didn't get a funeral. Like Adam's first wife. Since "Dammed sinners like her don't deserve a decent burial." It didn't take long for the man to find wife number three. With whom she again had two children. Though this time. The wife was exactly what he was looking for. Because she was just like him in every day; a zealot. So much so, that she didn't even try to find husbands for the girls under her care. Wanting to give them all away to the church- to become nuns. It was a fate Morgan didn't want for herself. And so, if her stepmother wouldn't find a suitor for her. She would herself. Even though that was a hard task. Since the girls were very sheltered. And this didn't have many opportunities to meet suitable men.

Her father would have his business partners over at the house sometimes though, old, fat men. But Morgan wasn't very choosy. Anyone who could get her out of the current situation she was in would do. Thanks to her look, and background. One of her father's friends took a liking to her. A certain Quincy Montague. It didn't take much for the young girl to convince the widow 20 her senior to take her as a bride. Her father and stepmother opposed at first. But after the man offered to buy some more stocks in the Adams company, they quickly agreed. 

The wedding wasn't a very grand affair, and not many people were invited. It was more than a funeral than a wedding, in fact. Yet it was the happiest day of Morgans life. Since it meant that now she could finally escape her abusive family and be the mistress of her own house. 

However, the new-found freedom she now had was too much responsibility for the conservatively raised girl to handle. She was never allowed to have any fun growing up. But now she did. At first, she did innocent things. Like singing, dancing. But very quickly she found another word. One that was even more fun. Her husband hosted parties from time to time. Where drinking, gambling and even some drugs were allowed. Morgan didn't become addicted to those things, immediately. But as time went on. She felt deeper and deeper into a dark hole. It made her a completely different person. Gone was the quiet, shy and well-mannered girl. It was murdered by an overwhelming desire for pleasure. Morgan started to act out, taking on lovers. Hosting her own parties, ones that were very wild. And gambling. She gambled her husbands' money away. And he didn't like that at all. At first, he attempted to stop the behavior gently. A warning here, a scolding there. But when hat didn't work, he became harsher towards her. Locking her up in her room. Reducing her allowance to zero. And much more. Morgan didn't like that, not at all. It reminded her of her father used to treat her. Expect this time she wouldn't just lie down and take it. 

Thanks to her wild parties, Morgan became acquainted with a large array of people. Some good, some bad. And some downright criminal. One of these people was a man called Alphard Ambrose. A man much older than she, and much more dangerous. A real gangster. But that didn't deter her. So she implored him to help her. By killing off not only her husband, but his family as well. Since Quincy, Montague had been married before. And had a son, who was a little older than Morgan herself. With a wife, and son of his own. The Montague legacy seemed secure. Until one day, while he was staying with his family in their fairy-tale like cottage. A fire started. Killing the entire family. The incident was investigated. Apparently one of the oil lamps had fallen, and that was the cause of the fire. The fact that the house they stayed in was old and not very well-designed when it came to escape routed as also ruled as a reason for their deaths. But really, Morgan and her shady friends were behind it all. The reason why she wanted them out of the way was simple; she was pregnant. It wasn't from her husband, of course. But he did legally claim the child as his own. Meaning that it was in line to inherit the mansion, and fortune of the Montague family. Morgan gave birth to a little girl. Who she named Lauren. The child looked a lot like her mother. With the same hair and eye color. However, the new birth did little to lift the spirits of her husband. Who felt the loss of his son and grandson very deeply. So much so that he fell ill. Morgan acted like a devoted wife. And nursed him. Well, she actually fed him poison. In small doses at first. But Quincy was already in bad health. So he didn't need much more. 

When he died. Morgan made a show of mourning. Refusing to return to her maiden name. And wearing mourning clothes for longer than was expected. The act didn't perhaps fool everyone. But it did when it came to most. There was also no evidence of foulplay. And she was but a young woman. How could she even have killed those people? Morgan became a merry widow. Taking the reins of her daughter's fortune and the house she had inherited. With no one stopping her and all the resources at her disposal, Morgan became more unhinged. And even bigger addict. Before long, she had blown through all her funds. And so was forced to find other ways to gain revenue. Which she did find. But it was never enough. It was too unstable. She needed something more secure.

She needed another husband. And so she started looking for one. Morgan first had her eyes said on her lover, the Baron Fredrick Eckhart. But he wouldn't commit to the idea. To her dismay. Despite that, she didn't break up with him. Looking for other candidates instead. After a while. She finally found one that, in her mind, would be perfect. And before long, plans were made.
