brush practice and blending w/ Mortanius

"This deed will redeem me and then, all Nosgoth."

Mortanius the Necromancer; Guardian of the Pillar of Death

An incredibly underrated character, relatively speaking, but one of the most important and arguably as tragic as Kain and Raziel. There's a lot that's unknown about him (hopefully the forthcoming encyclopedia fills in the blanks) but what little we do know about him is incredibly fascinating: A tragic figure who did so much wrong yet in the end, knew he was wrong and tried to set things right. But, as Kain so eloquently put it, the game was rigged from the start.

His brief appearance in Defiance is one of the more memorable sequences in the game and, dare I say it, far more meaningful than his appearance in Blood Omen (though tbf, anything is better than Blood Omen's writing for numerous reasons for another time/place) and I say that as someone who's played every single game in the series.
