~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Personality: Morgan is a bit of a loose cannon with a mean temper, more often cutting others with his words than drowning them in noise. He is straightforward and honest almost to the point of being rude. Despite this however he is a man of justice and good at heart. Morgan prefers solitude but doesn't mind the company of others, his preference to isolation generally stems from his lack of ability to trust others capabilities. His sense of justice comes ingrained into him from a young age as his family are very religious and while they are inherently dogmatic he has with age learnt to follow certain principles through empathy. 

History: Morgan was sinfully born into a catholic monastery in Sintra Portugal between a priest and a nun who were in a secret relationship. While pregnant his mother pretended that his conception was immaculate like the birth of Christ, though later evidence would prove otherwise. Though his parents were then excommunicated, he was still born on sanctuary and thus was raised as a fostered child under the protection of the church. This was due to the fact his parents felt ashamed, guilty, or didn't feel capable enough to be able to raise him in a proper environment, not really having any skills outside of the church. His last name 'Amador' was given to him by the church after the saint Amador who was a hermit that found an abandoned newborn and raised it as his own, they supposed it felt fitting to raise Morgan in his name. His first name was given to him by his mother, who was inspired by the blue of his eyes when he was born, his name meaning dweller of the seas. 

He spent his entire childhood at the monastery, learning liturgy and ceremonial rites, and becoming the youngest deacon of the church at 18 years of age due to his special circumstances. He had began to build up a lot of bottled and repressed emotions over the years after learning the truth about his parents and how his mother lied as well as hearing of and being at the center of multiple scandals. He believes in the good that the church provides but not in its methods and practice.Though as someone who's whole life depended on the church, he wasn't sure what else to do with it. In his spare time he'd generally just play video games, both as a time killer and as a coping mechanism. Over time he sought out new prospects and travel to new places, no longer wishing to stay static, and so he became a missionary.

They planned on setting up a new church in Japan and Morgan was chosen to lead the mission there and so he did his best to learn about the language and culture there. After a few years of preparation he finally made his way from Portugal where he grew up to Japan where the new Catholic church was being set up. He'd still play video games in his free time however and upon hearing about sword art online Morgan became excited for it, the ability to fade out from a world he wasn't actually interested in, and start over new... And so began his entrapment in the game.

Virtues - 
Kind of Heart: Morgan feels genuine empathy for people. A lot of his work at the church involved dealing with vulnerable people and helping them back on their feet, or at least cope with day to day struggles. Though he personally draws a line in certain circumstances as to not be burnt by his own kindness, he still makes an effort to do right by others. He has learnt over time that kindness often times does more good to a person than any amount of advice or physical remedy except in the case of actual physical ailments. Though kind he is not naive or gullible to the ways of science and understands there must be a balance between caring about and for something, and giving the person what they actually need to survive. 

Diligence: Morgan is hard working believing in a strong work ethic and that working is inherently good. Though he often self indulges he is not one to give up on a task or leave work half done. This virtue was instilled in Morgan at a young age, always told that he must do his part and that diligence and faith would lead to spiritual salvation. While he may not necessarily believe that diligence will bring him salvation, he does believe that if someone wants something, they would most definitely have to work for it. 

Justice and Fortitude: Morgan fights with great perseverance for a just and right world. He believes that there is an order to things and that people should get what they deserve, and that all people inherently deserve their rites as humans. He fights for these rights when he sees them violated using whatever tools he is able to utilize such as the churches resources or whatever he himself posses, though that is little. Even when his own beliefs are challenged and he is put in a position to question himself and his virtues he maintains the endurance to push through and stick to what he feels in his heart to be right. 

Mercy: This virtue plays into the others as the ability to endure difficult circumstances, though suggesting in his ability to forgive others for their past misdeeds if they are also willing to forgive themselves and repent for their actions. Though his emotions may get the better of him at times he does his best to remind himself that people deserve a chance at redemption since all life has value, even the lives of sinners and the corrupted. 

Flaws - 
Wrath: When someone or something pushes Morgan to a point of anger he can become quite a loose cannon with a mean temper. He will say things he'd otherwise never say to hurt and get back at people who have pushed him to that point. When Morgan becomes wrathful it is often due to a series of events in which no redemption or mercy can be offered. Though he would never kill another person, he has no qualms about bringing them to justice or giving them a taste of what they have done unto others. In a sense he doesn't wish to wait for God to punish them and would rather act on his own accord. 

Saudade: A common term from where he grew up simply translating to 'Emptiness'. However it is more of a longing for something which he is lacking, something that he lost long ago. His life was decided for him at birth, his parents never there for him. Though the church filled the role of caretaker, they never gave him the love and support that only a parent could provide. Though he doesn't realize it, his heart longs for real love. More than that, his heart longs for a meaning, a true purpose, a life beyond his religious confines, for his own identity. Though these things weigh heavily on him, these things he cannot realize for himself that leave him melancholic, he still has faith in a future and hope for something positive to come, such is Saudade.

Gluttony: Though Morgan is supposed control himself and uphold the virtue of temperance, when it comes to beer he is almost unable to control his intake. He has spent many days drunk from over consumption when he has reprieve from his duties. Sometimes this affliction carries over into his work days and he usually gets a lot of flak for it. Though this is a vice that has developed in his more mature years, his peers give him some leeway considering his past and his contributions so far. This gluttony for beer also extends to some food and other alcohol on worse days, anything that helps fill his emptiness.
