#unflinching loyalty to undeserving assholes

[notarobot1006]

Morgott the Omen King intrigues me on so many levels. There's some really good tragedy about his endless loyalty to an Order that (to my vague understanding) horrifically screwed him over for being born a bit funny-looking.

Each of his boss fights got progressively easier than the last as I developed a clue of how to play the game, got absolutely hench on runes, and accumulated better weapons and summons to help me. It adds to the theme of him fighting a losing battle against a single powerscaling jackass for the sake of a group that - at best - faintly tolerates him.

And in that last boss fight, he goes full True Believer in everything he says one a conceptual rather than a personal level. He doesn't even like most of the demigods! But the concept of the Golden Order is still somehow of value to the guy.

He calls the demigods a bunch of traitors but is still genuinely upset that he got Curse Juice all over their thrones during your deathmatch. And he knows that the tree won't let anyone in! What value does he see in any of this? The dude is overflowing with loyalty to a bunch of overpowered losers and a finicky tree that don't in any way deserve it.

He's an intriguing -by which I Iargely mean baffling- kind of guy. This quote is from...somewhere in-game and describes his motive:

"Though born one of the graceless Omen, Morgott took it upon himself to become the Erdtree's protector. He loved not in return, for he was never loved, but nevertheless, love it he did."

But like...all that for the tree? It's a very pretty tree, sure, but he must see something of value in it that I don't.

I do have to respect the guy for keeping his default attitude of "endless disdain" no matter how many legends and demigods the Tarnished keeps killing.
