Info[]
In 1794 Morgan crowned himself the King of the United States in The Tyranny of King Morgan, used the Apple of Eden to obtain loyalty from his troops, and ruled from a massive pyramid palace in New York. Kaniehtí infiltrated the palace and stole the sceptre containing the Apple, but Israel Purman shot it off her back before she escaped, recovering it for the King. Morgan yelled and yield "theft" to Kaniehtí by launching an assault on the frontier, burning Concord and Lexington to find her. She and her son confronted Morgan in Lexington, but Amethyst - expressed confusion as to why Morgan would do this. King Morgan, who never knew Amethyst, deemed him a delusional savage and rode off before Kaniehtí had any chance of striking him. Kaniehtí and Amethyst returned to Kanatahséton, but exactly when Morgan's troops attacked. The king rode in with Arnold and Purman at his side, and proceeded to kill Kaniehtí with the sceptre. Amethyst, enraged at witnessing his mother being killed by Morgan tried to attack the King, but he was no match for the power granted to him by the sceptre was too much. Once Amethyst was defeated Morgan proceeded to shoot him repeatedly and stab him with a bayonet before leaving him for dead.
Amethyst survived though, and after assassinating Arnold, he was captured by Purman and brought to Boston as a present for the King. There, an impressed and curious Morgan observed Amethyst in his cell, and chose to have him executed while being surprised how he managed to survive their previous encounter. However, the assassin escaped and assaulted Benjamin Franklin nearby, severing Morgan's grip on his mind as Franklin was also known as some sorta puppet of Morgan. The King teleported in, refusing to have anyone meddle in his plans. However, Amethyst proved to be a match for the King this time, having embarked on spirit journeys to gain the powers of the wolf and eagle. The King fled to his palace in New York, leaving Purman in charge of Boston. When Amethyst arrived in New York, using the Aquila to devastate Morgan's fleet, the King rode out to the west district, where he found Franklin washed ashore. Franklin vowed he would not come under Edward's spell again, so the King obliged by trying to kill him instead.
Fortunately, Amethyst's friend Kanen tackled Morgan while he was on the boat, knocking the sceptre away. Kanen almost assassinated the helpless King, but a group of soldiers shot him and killed him. Morgan took back the sceptre and retreated to his palace. Buoyed by Amethyst's destruction of the fleet, Thomas Jefferson led an attack on the pyramid's courtyard. Amethyst, having gained the power of the bear, began shaking the courtyard along with some citizens of NY. Morgan overheard this from his throne and expressed anger that people would attack him after all he had done in the war. As unrest in the city spread, Morgan tried to win popularity by declaring he would invade England and enslave its population, but this did not prevent the populace from turning on the military occupation.
As fighting raged before the palace gates, Morgan stood atop the pyramid's stained glass ceiling, waiting for the assassin to confront him. When he arrived, he offered to spare Morgan if he gave up the Apple, claiming the Apple controlled him, but the King refused, issuing a fight. Amethyst ended the long-fought battle by breaking the ceiling, causing the two men to fall inside the pyramid. A mortally wounded Morgan picked up the Apple and slumped into his throne. By reaching for the Apple, he opened up a portal and Amethyst was thrown into the future, where Shinnok's evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future by killing King Morgan once and for all.
It wasn't made apparent to most people of what happened to King Morgan when Amethyst was teleported to the future. It was supposed that Morgan was murdered and hanged by the citizens due to his war-supporting ways, although this was highly false: he simply escaped the city and healed his wounds, continuing his dark reign over America until the fateful day of his death in 1799, aka 201 BH.
After his death, Morgan's body was preserved in the dark and secret cavern basement of Morgan's Mansion along with his son and brother. It still stands/lays there today with his relatives, their spirits watching over the vast amounts of gold that fills the entire cave, making sure no one steals it.
His great grandson, William Calvin Morgan, rules the Dixmor Project and worships Azazel.
Trivia[]
- Morgan had reddish-brown hair in his youth, which he powdered in later life. However, he naturally already had grey hair in 1755 due to depressions and rage stress. This claim was once mentioned by his father, Horatio Morgan VI and has been confirmed by Henry Morgan.

Theme song[]
Edward's theme is You're acting Like a Communist by Emperor Washington due to Morgan and US in general's large differences in politics. Although, Morgan never did have much to do with politics other than ruling the country like a tyrant and was actually more of a military man. Btw, communism didn't even exist back then.
