Morcant is one of the few Fae who sometimes lives among wixes in human form. He passes himself off as something of a recluse antiquarian - a living relic. He often disappears from society for weeks to months at a time.

You may catch sight of him on Candlestick Row or at the Hag Market. He wears well-cut but old tweed suits, and carries with him the smell of book dust and brimstone.

Morcant abhors the mistreatment of creatures and harbours deep dislike for modern day muggles.

History

In February 2018, Morcant established himself newly in Edinburgh after a long period of hibernation. He has since become a common and quiet fixture at The Blue Ghoul, and keeps a suite of rooms as a long term guest at Pendragon Hotel.

Prior to current circumstances, Morcant has been known by many other names over the centuries.

He is originally a Fae of north-west Wales and has played a part in various local mythologies. Historically, he is emblematic of the Welsh red dragon. In legend, Morcant was responsible for the destruction of the Anglo-Saxon white dragon, an act he deeply regrets.

As a rule he does not interfere with wix affairs. To other Fae, Morcant has a reputation for being crotchety and unpredictable.

Fae Form

Morcant’s true form is that of a brass red dragon, which can only be taken when he is at or near his dwelling in Dinas Emrys, Wales.

Fae Powers

In addition to typical Fae abilities, Morcant can shapeshift into various small reptiles.

As Fae powers are connected to their homes in nature, much of Morcant's powers are only accessible at Dinas Emrys, which is a historical/protected site. When threatened, this is where Morcant will flee.
