-----Background-----

Morgam was a bastard child, barely knowing his father and being raised by his mother. Being from the North, this wasn't especially uncommon; family values really didn't exist, and communities were vague and fluid. He left his mother's house when he was 10, not even saying goodbye, and not quite realizing he would never return. He drifted through communities doing menial labor and subsisting well enough.

As he became older he developed an eye for gold and involved himself in trading with the Southeast. He dealt in anything worth buying, eventually becoming a broker for the especially rare and forbidden. One such item that he acquired caught his attention above the others: a supposed panacea for any ailment. He figured it for a scam at first, but sold it anyway, and was surprised to find that rumors traveled fast and more buyers were looking. He sourced as much as he could, but the stuff was exceptionally rare and he couldn't figure out where it was coming from.

Some years later, Morgam had fully moved into Yharnam and was operating as a local broker for both imports and exports, some few of which were mundane and legal. It was here he found the Healing Church and their "blood ministrations", the panacea he'd been peddling for good money. People flocked to Yharnam for the stuff, but there were still foreign buyers looking to get their hands on it without partaking in holy pilgrimage. Morgam did what he could to try to establish a supply line from within the Church, but all of that was derailed when the monster showed up at his door.

It was the strangest scratching sound at his door, wrong for rats, but not sensibly dogs or people either. The rest was a blur of teeth, claws, and howls, bashing and bleeding, wrestling and breaking. It was a Hunter that saved him, and a week of close care and intensive blood ministration. Apparently the stuff could heal wounds, but Morgam was pretty far gone when they got to him. He recovered but still carries a number of scars to this day, the most terrible on his left forearm where he nearly lost his hand.

It was by this that Morgam became aware of the deadly secret of the town, and the equally deadly secret of the church: the Hunters. He joined them and was trained in their lethal trade. However, since the time of the attack, whether from the monster or the ministrations, he has been changed; Though he'd always been a friend of the night and the shadows, now he felt more at home in them than in the light. What was more, he could feel himself changing into something... else, stronger but more terrible. He was told it would make him a better hunter, but sometimes he was forced to wonder how much difference there was between himself and his prey.

-----Personality-----

Morgam is quiet, but with a strong presence about him. He's not overly gruff when he speaks, sometimes being surprisingly warm and empathetic. But for the most part he keeps to himself and stays out of sight, haunting the darkest corner of the bar with a cheap foreign brew. He's hardly ever seen during the day, and when he is, he seems to be in a bad mood. But at night he seems comfortable and relaxed, if still a bit forbidding.

-----Appearance-----

Morgam is a burly man, scarred, hairy, and of mixed origin. He speaks with a slight accent and keeps his hair short and neat. He dresses plainly and carries himself like a common laborer, but he has a hard demeanor that tends to make him a bit unapproachable. He wears a half-fingered glove on his left hand and doesn't care to talk about it, but sometimes the tremors in that hand allude to some past scar it might be hiding.
