Arik I Morgan

Arik Morgan is the Founder of The Morgan Dynasty, and the creator of Telepathy. He is renowned as the one of the greatest mages the world has ever seen, along with Agatha Tira and a few, select others. He is also the founder of the Underland, and is a God-Hero to its inhabitants, though few remember his name.

He is known to have ventured into the Deadlands, Apocrypha, and Moonshadow, at different times.

History
Arik Morgan was born 35 years before the Oblivion Crisis. As a child, he and his parents were wanderers, travelling around Cyrodiil and getting work and money where he could. Sadly, not many people trusted them, as his mother was known to have 'sticky fingers.'

One wintry night, he and his parents were sleeping, when they heard the rustling, in the forest around them. His father immediately walked into the forest, wielding his wood-cutting axe. The last sound Arik and his mother heard from him was his dying screams. His mother wailed in outrage, and picked up the pick, ready to fight to the death with whatever came out. She told Arik to run, and to not look back, while she retreated into the tent.

Arik did run, but he also looked back. He saw his mother fighting with bandits. Eventually, one of the overpowered her and drove a spear through her stomach.

Arik began to run again, sobbing. He ran through the snow, tripping over roots and logs.

Finally, he tripped and didn't get up. Wolves began to howl all around him, slowly closing in...

His salvation came in the form of a young witch, who used fire to keep the wolves away from the boy. Her name, he later found out, was Agatha Tira.

He stayed with her for two years, before asking if he could learn magic. She agreed, and his apprenticeship began.

They went on many adventures together, travelling all over Tamriel in search of new magic. However, it seemed to Arik as if his mentor looked only for one magic in particular.

Together, they were almost an unstoppable force, and Arik was always just a step behind his mentor, in power.

Eventually, all good things must come to an end. The time came for Arik to leave, and Student and Teacher parted ways, for the first time.

Arik began his own travels, and founded an alchemist's shop in Kvatch. He was in the city when it was attacked. He and his assistant escaped, and Arik decided to investigate these portals. So, he and his assistant ventured into one.

Soon after they got in, his assistant ran away, leaving Arik alone, in Oblivion.

Soon, he found his mentor again, with her new little posse. They went on another adventure together, before parting ways when it was done, for the second time.

Then, Arik ventured into the Underland and founded cities and villages.

Seven years later, Arik joined a group, again, and ventured into Apocrypha.

Soon after, he had his first child: Ari.

After this, he had five other children, who all grew up to be rather important.

He then ventured into Azura's realm, Moonshadow, where he gained his longevity.

He continued to help and lead the Underlanders for over 50 years, before venturing up into the world, again. He and his mentor met at a tavern, and, realizing that they both had feelings for each other, started a relationship. This culminated in a single night of passion, after which Arik left again, to lead the Underlanders, again. They parted ways for the third time.

However, unknown to Arik, he had left Agatha pregnant, with his seventh and final child: Lilly Tira. He didn't meet Lilly until much later in life, when he was reunited with Agatha.
