~A Little About You~
History: Long ago, Mort was but a simple man who decided to become a Marine, having long grown tired of the Pirate attacks on the tiny island he grew up on. He wanted to see justice served and the pirates defeated. With a fierce determination to do what he saw was right, he decided to take his blade and enroll in the Marines at age 18, to fight for Justice and to protect those who needed to be protected, who were too weak to fight back against the evil Pirates.
Amidst his time the seas he came across fierce Pirates who would dare to kill him and his men, but he fought on regardless and captured strong Pirates, making sure they would be locked up and sentenced to a life in Impel Down for their heinous crimes. He made sure the people around him were protected and safe and his crewmates always had his back. He didn't have anything to worry about because so long as he was around, he could protect those he cared most about. He was rising through the ranks as he proved himself a strong, outstanding Marine in the line of service and was promoted again and again to higher positions, eventually made a Captain of the Marines at age 27, a time that he and his men celebrated knowing how much he had wanted this promotion.
Whilst waiting in the Grand Line at a Marine Base, Mort met the love of his life at age 35. She was a beautiful woman, or at least, he couldn't imagine a greater beauty. He fell in love and the two grew close very quickly. Every night he would wander out on his own to meet her in secrecy, with his men only having vague rumors to go by. It was during this time that the two consummated their relationship and Mort left on duty, though not without promising to return one day soon. Eight months passed and a bird carrying mail delivered a letter to Mort directly - The love of his life had become pregnant with his child. Unable to contain his own joy, he and his crew turned the ship around to head back to the island where his love was. However, things would not turn out as he hoped.
It took him a month to arrive back at the island where his lover would soon give birth. It was supposed to be a time of celebration, but shortly after his son was born, Pirates had attacked the island. Mort's wife died and his newborn son was presumed dead. Furious and filled with hatred, Mort attacked the Pirate crew as they left the island. In the process, Mort had been knocked unconscious. His men retreated and Mort woke up later on his ship, only to find most of his men had been killed in the rage-driven attack on the Pirates, with barely any left. He cried out that day in anger, swearing revenge on the Pirates.
Since that reckless assault he had been demoted, but since started honing his strength and skill with the blade. His old blade had been broken in the attack, so he now carried the Aozora, a finely-crafted cane sword. He was slowly building power as a warrior. With a new determination for the end of the Great Age of Pirates, Mort slew Pirates and took those who lived in with him to Impel Down. He regained his reputation as the strong, unstoppable Marine and he once again received promotion. Eventually, he managed to prove himself worthy of the title of Admiral at age 55, able to stand and deliver Justice to the chaotic Pirates who ruled the seas.

Your Good Side:
- Patient. Given his age, it's not surprising Mort does not feel any impatience. He's lived a long, long life and he's not going to let himself get worked up over time.
- Intelligent. With age comes wisdom. With experience comes knowledge. Mort's been around a long while - he knows exactly what he has to do in order to stay alive.
- Polite. Born in a time when manners were slightly more commonplace, Mort keeps his manners and treats everyone politely - that is, unless you are his enemy.
- Loyal. Mort is endlessly loyal to the memory of his love and his son, as well as to the Marines. He will never turn his back on those whom he has sworn to protect.
- Brave. He isn't foolish enough to cast off fear entirely, but Mort is able to brave whatever terror or nightmare strolls his way and continue on regardless.
Your Bad Side:
- Arrogant. Mort, even for an Admiral, seems to have a big of a large ego at times and won't be afraid to boast when given the chance. He's been at the top of the world for a long time and he refuses to believe someone else can top him.
- Ruthless. Mort, though he will fight the good fight, tends to do so in the most ruthless way possible, completely wiping out his opponents if necessary. He doesn't hold back regardless of who he faces.
- Reckless. For his old age, Mort can be very reckless at times, especially when it comes to protecting his crew. He won't turn tail, but that can be a bad thing sometimes.
- Distant. Though he cares deeply for the lives of others, Mort doesn't appear to be particularly close to anyone, remaining somewhat distant even amongst his own.
- Sarcastic. Sometimes, if something does manage to annoy Mort, Mort will respond with complete sarcasm and cutting remarks, relinquishing any manners he may have had before.
What Do You Enjoy?:
- Apples.
- Smoking.
- His Crew.
- His Justice coat.
- Winning.
Grind Your Gears:
- Pirates.
- Lemons.
- Dogs.
- Drinking.
- Being weak.
What Do You Carry With You?:
- Aozora - Mortimer's iconic weapon, a cane sword possessing a handle made of a dark blue-coloured wood with a similarly-coloured scabbard and a long, sharpened blade. It is believed to be one of the 12 Saijo O Wazamono.
- Six-shot Pistol - This isn't particularly unique, but simply a weapon to assist Mortimer. He doesn't use it often, but there's always the chance he'll need it, so he keeps it in his sash.
- Cigarettes.
- Lighter.
What Drives You?: To end the Great Age of Pirates.
