History[]

He decided to leave everything behind, established himself in Skartaris, made friends, as well as created a family of his own. Morgan envisioned freedom, peace and justice for Skartaris. He became known as the Warlord for endorsing these ideals and fighting against oppressive forces. Warlord is a gifted swordsman, military strategist, as well as leader. He also carries an automatic pistol from his Air Force days.

Warlord vs

Warlord and Deimos final showdown.

When Deimos started to rapidly taking over Skartaris, Warlord had his magic-wielding daughter, Jennifer, summon a group of Justice Leaguers to help in the battle. Their primary objective was to prevent the "The Great Stone" from falling into Deimos's possession. Warlord led his troops against the wizard's invading army, as well as fought them off. When Deimos moved in on the tabernacle containing the Stone, Warlord intercepted him. He managed to subdue Deimos in a sword fight, but hesitated in killing him. Deimos got himself killed by lunging at Morgan, but falling off a precipice. The Warlord announced victory and decreed freedom and peace for Skartaris. He then agreed upon sealing the entrance to Skartaris forever, because he had everything he needed there ― his family.
