Abilities
Growing up, Arthur had no friends, and his family — if you can call Bruggothians that — doggedly made him study the ways of the religion. As such, Hypknot is an expert in the macabre, and has an expert-level knowledge of virtually all mythical deities, artifacts, religions, and magics.
Though one of the scrawniest heroes you’ll see, Arthur’s a surprisingly good scrapper in hand-to-hand combat. When that’s combined with his knowledge of the Dark Arts and Bruggothian Code, this sorcerer has quite the formidable skill set.
As his name implies, Hypknot’s go-to enchantment is hypnosis and mind-control.
History + Origin
Arthur Morris never knew his biological parents. In fact, his earliest memories come from within the halls of the compound housing members of the Order of Bruggoth.
At this point, we haven’t any idea how old Morris is, and neither does he. Clouded in a shroud of mystery, some suspect the Bruggothian religion capable of withcraft powerful enough to produce immortality, but we’ve yet to see evidence of that.
Even though the Order is all he knows, he remained a skeptic of the ancient deity through the majority of his life. After all, a cosmic squid that’s responsible for the creation of all life seems a bit too bizarre, even for the most unstable crackpots…right?
Hypknot eventually left the Order after an argument with the group’s Elders. Around the same time, the Freedom Society realized some of the opponents they faced would require more than brawn and brains to subdue.
That’s why they enlisted the help of Arthur, a notorious practitioner of the Dark Arts. With Hypknot on board, the Freedom Society could battle threats both in the flesh and those possessing magical abilities.
