Mortis the "Resurrector"
Mortis is an unique and aged minion of the Blues, who appears only in Overlord II, and is in charge of resurrecting dead minions at the request of the Overlord. He is also in charge of the spawning of new minions using the collected Lifeforce, which makes him an invaluable asset to the Overlord.
Personality and Traits
Mortis is known for his watery-sounding voice, and many quotes related to death, including "death is your friend" and "do not fear the reaper", which can be heard randomly in the game when the Overlord exits the Graveyard interface. He is also notably rather dour, most likely because of his closeness to death, as displayed when he shoves off the minions, who hug him when they are resurrected. He is, like all other minions, unwaveringly loyal to the Overlord, and reassures him that, "the newly spawned will be sacrificed first".He seems to have improved ability to ressurect.
He allowed the Reds to roast rats on his scythe and he seems upset by the other minion hives not being there when you first meet him. But then again, he seems sad since nearly every minion tribe is missing at the beginning of the game.
