Appearance:

---

Human: Standing at roughly six feet tall Mordekai is well built and muscled, a man who obviously works for a living. His hair is long, often pulled back in braids or a tail that drapes down his back. With a sharp jaw, weathered skin, and callused hands, it’s obvious that he spends much of his time outdoors in the weather. His jaw is sharp, made even sharper by the rough stubble that lines it. His eyes are deep set with long lashes, under heavy brows. But they spark with intelligence, a blue-grey color that is sharp in contrast to his darker skin and hair.

Most often he can be seen in a rough set of working clothes: Leather breeches and a cotton shirt. Boots run up to his knee, and a belt hangs from his hips, carrying dagger and sword. Around his neck are several necklaces that change in variety on a constant basis.

Horse: Standing at 16 hands at the shoulder, he’s roughly average size for a horse, weighing about twelve hundred pounds. Like his human counterpart, as a stallion he’s well muscled and built well. A deep chest and long legs show him to be built for running across country at a decent clip. His lines are delicate, almost, but solid, looking as though it might be hard to make him move. His coat is a dark dapple grey, his mane and tail almost black, and his eyes a warm brown.

Personality:

---

Mordekai is a generally content sort of fellow, resigned, and content with his place in life. He’s a hard worker, determined, and loyal. Despite this qualities, the man is dark, riddled with secrets, guilt, anger and hatred. Khaal has had a great amount of influence upon what he finds amusing, and so Mordekai has a similar manipulative tendency, and a streak of sadism that is larger than most. He laughs easily, and is quick to smile, but his emotions flux like the wind, one moment calm and the next a gale of either excitement or anger.



[breal]



He can be very playful, though this is rare, and his attitudes and behavior are a strange mix of human and horse, due to the amount of time he spends in his animal form.

History:

---

Orphaned in the war, Mordekai doesn’t remember much of the actual fighting. He was thirteen and more concerned with survival than anything else. Living as a street-rat in one of the cities, he got caught upon a fateful day with his hand snatching the purse of what he had taken to be a wealthy and easy target. The immortal’s hand had snatched him, and his eyes had made Mordekai wish to disappear upon the spot.

Instead, he was rescued, taken in from his homelessness and cared for, and, before long, he realized that he owed this man his life, and much more. Khaal became father, brother, and friend to Mordekai, the only man that he dared to trust. And as time went on, Khaal corrupted him far more than he had realized.



[break]



When he was twenty five, Mordekai resolved to break away from the twisted immortal who had kept him in some form of indentured servitude, only to be reminded that, after everything he had already done for the immortal, the twisted things that he had helped cause, nobody outside in the normal world would accept him. He became resigned to be Khaal’s for his life.



[brreak]



As time went on, Mordekai came to favor his animal form, spending longer and longer hours within it until he was more horse than human most days. He became Khaal’s mount, travelling with him when the immortal didn’t wish to teleport, adn entertaining him upon his journey. Because of this, Khaal’s influence slowly wore upon him until he was nearly as dark and twisted as the immortal himself, laughing at causing other people harm and trouble, with a streak of sadism that was all too large for him to participate in the normal society.



[break]



Such is where he has stayed, as a form of slave, or pet, of the immortal, most of the time a horse.

Miscellaneous:

---

He’s a man who wields anything as a weapon, but he favors daggers and a basic broadsword. [break]

Mainly he stays in his animal form.[break]
Around his neck, in both horse and human form, he wears a tear-shaped sapphire charm, a design engraved upon it, surrounded by a horseshoe around his neck. While a horse, it's set within a leather collar, while a human, it sits upon a leather string around his neck.
