The Decaying One, The Plague Lord, Lord of Pestilence, all are his unholy titles he who is most commonly known as Morbus. He is both the God of physical decay as well as spiritual, manifested in fear. But he is not just a God of Decay he is a God of rebirth seeing as with the death of a animal it feeds the earth and leads to new life. This process in both it's holy and unholy forms Morbus oversees with a generally cold and grim outlook although at times something or someone catches his eye.

It is said that Morbus stands for all eternity at his great pot brewing diseases both common, uncommon, and yet to be unleashed. He does this not out of scorn or hate, but as a gardener weeds out the weak plants. For his children to survive the weak must be weeded out and his plauges are such a device. Morbus is also said to walk within his own gardens that make up his 'realm' and inside of which dwell his favorite of creatures and creations. He even, from time to time, allows one of his favored children to live immortal wandering his ever growing Gardens with their loving Grandfather Morbus.

Morbus is not a grim or dark god he is merely the Lord of the causes/transition between life and death seeing as for life to thrive death must come first. Morbus is a good of life and laughter who cherishes all life in all it's forms and loves all his children (some more then others), but he knows, in all his wisdom, that good times must pass to make way for new memories.

To those that truly believe or find out the universal truth of life and death, destruction and regeneration, Morbus grants them, his prized children, many gifts that make them stronger within their own bodies and their own souls. To those that truly believe and offer themselves to him he offers gifts that allow his love and truth to be spread across the universe such children are known as 'Plague Bearers' the greatest of these being the Plague Knights.

The Legions of Morbus are many as everything is touched by his hand no matter what false prophets and physicians may say. His powers can manifest upon a world when necessary spawning all sorts of hell beasts to bring back order to a world or to help spread his own plagues. At times the universe is so unbalanced or his plauge is strong enough Morbus summons one of his very own: The 7 Plague lords his eternal guards, servants, and confidants in his immortal realm and each being a part of his very mind. They are walking avatars of death and life, birth and rebirth, and greater Demons in their own right.

Morbus at his very core is the gnawing truth of mortality and the hidden fear of death all hold. Over this Morbus stands watch and regulates. For though the vilest deaths, to the most foul plagues, Morbus' light shine through to birth new life. As Morbus dispatches old Civilizations he himself or his children spawn new ones. In this way Morbus is a pure God of nature.
