When the corrupted leaders of the house of Moranus became suspicious of Morteus and his cohorts they sensed a plan was being set in motion. They rushed into action sending spies to penetrate the band and discover what exactly was brewing under their roof. When Morteus noticed a sudden change in his popularity he became worried. People he didn't know were giving him support and trying to gain access to his circle. When everyone feared they had been discovered and all hope was lost they agreed to abandon the plan for the time being. Untill something very strange happened.

One night a stranger approached the home of Moranus. He seemed shrowded in darkness even though he was illuminated by the pale moon light. Morteus saw this figure approach he felt electricity in the air. The night was calm yet he could feel an emense power eminating from this figure. But even as the figure drew closer Morteus did not feel threatened. It was almost as if a look of warmpth or compasion could be seen it's face through the shroud. Morteus was not sure what this feeling really was, but he felt a strange bond with this creature. No words were uttered, this creature was allowed inside the house of Moranus.

The creature was brought into a room filled with the closest friends of Morteus, all staring uneasily at the unknown being. Their faces were beweildered but no questions were asked. They simply stared as this figure as the sun rose. When dawn came they gathered for another meeting do discuss what would be done to rid their name of these corrupted leaders. As they talked and argued the figure sat silently in the corner. They noticed the figure scanning the room but as the meeting progressed they soon forgot it was there. The discussion was cut short, however, when the figure slowly moved into the center of the room and let out a loud cry. It raised it's hands to the air and the entire room went pitch black. None of the kinsmen knew what to do, in the confusion they were frozen in place. One by one people began bursting into flames untill it seemed the entire room was aflame. Shrieks filed the air as men were reduced to ash. This catastrophy caused everyone to ready their weapons and attack but as they moved in towards the figure the room shifted. Everyone was thrown to the floor as more people cried out in pain. With a final flash the room was calm. The kinsmen found themselves standing exactly where they were seconds ago as if nothing had happened. But something was different.

As Morteus scaned the faces he realized the only people who remained were the ones he knew and trusted. All of these so called supporters that had recently flooded his meetings were now gone. All that remained were small piles of ash on the floor where they once stood. The loyal members of the house of Moranus then realized this mysterious creature's purpose. It was sent from a place unknown to protect only those who strived for the betterment and restoration of the rightful heir to the head of Moranus. This creature was to become the watchdog of the house of Moranus. This being haulted all further attempts of The Corruption to learn of Morteus' role in the assassinations thus aiding them in finally placing Morteus at the head of the house of Moranus. This unknown being was never questioned. Because no one knew it's true name it was reffered to as the Bringer of Doom, The master of chaos, The watchdog of the Moranus.
