Morliss, known onstage as Morliss the Mountain Giant, is a minor antagonist of the fantasy adventure story The Adventures of a Sword. He is a top wrestling champion who covertly ate children to gain strength, and was revealed to be an utterly atrocious and abominable sadist.
Biography[]
When Morliss sees Jordan, Arnie, and Gary lost and exhausted after having been pursued by Emperor Ginold's army, he offers to provide a stay at his cabin, where they could rest and eat. During their stay, Jordan recognizes Morliss as the famed wrestling champion Morliss the Mountain Giant, who has won every single match he participated in due to his profound strength. Morliss acts cordially to the boys and seemingly sympathizes with them.
However, his true nature is revealed when after the boys' rest, he goes to retrieve several pictures of himself committing various monstrous acts to show to the teens. There was a picture of him tearing a dog in two while a boy (implicated to be the owner) watches in absolute alarm, another one of him killing innumerable partygoers by squashing their skulls with kettlebells, and a third one of him tossing a baby into a creek to satiate his sadism. He then presents 72 images of him devouring little children, which he explains is how he managed to attain such sheer strength. He then reveals that the whole reason he lured the teens in was to devour them so that he could grow ever more stronger.
He has his minion, a brainwashed teen named Parkskar, subdue Jordan and company. Fortunately, the three escape their gruesome fate, and consequently Morliss slaughters Parkskar for his failure by impaling it into Parkskar's throat before throwing him out of his house. After futilely trying to get his hands on the boys himself, he sadistically shoots a man dead and consumes his corpse.
Not long after, Emperor Ginold and his right-hand Balthazar meet Morliss at his house, after seeing the three teens fleeing. Ginold questions why they were running from him, to which Morliss replies by stating that he was unsuccessfully trying to capture them for his own consumption. Livid at his failure, Ginold picks up a kettlebell and uses it to strike Morliss, cracking the latter's skull and ending Morliss' life.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He tore a dog in half right in front of a little boy, who was implied to be the dog's owner.
- He murdered several party-goers by dumping kettlebells on their heads, crushing their skulls.
- He sadistically hurled a baby into a creek.
- He ate 72 children to grow immensely strong, so that he could become a top wrestling champion.
- After revealing his true sadistic self, he attempted to have Jordan and his friends captured so that he could eat them to become evermore stronger.
- After Parkskar failed to capture the boys, he brutally finished him by impaling a spear through his neck, before tossing him out of his cabin headfirst onto concrete.
- He shot a man dead and ate him after failing to seize the three boys.
- Despite not being quite as heinous as Emperor Ginold or Adrianna de la Santos, he still stands out as a vile and odious Hate Sink since he has a much more limited appearance, has very few resources to work with, and has a unique crime of eating children.
- Though a good portion of his actions were "offscreen", there is still evidence of them occurring, that being the pictures and also the fact that he is a wrestling champion because of his cannibalism. His "onscreen" crimes also serve to reinforce the fact that he is a reprehensible and disgusting monster.
Trivia[]
- Morliss, Emperor Ginold, and Adrianna de la Santos are the only villains in the story to qualify as Pure Evil. Meanwhile, 30 Days in Spring, Unrequited Love, and A Case in Bucksville are all technically from a separate universe considering how The Adventures of a Sword is a "story-within-a-story", so to speak.
