[b]Original World[/b]: Prydain, the world of Disney's [url=https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/The_Black_Cauldron][i]The Black Cauldron[/i][/url], based on [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Prydain][i]The Chronicles of Prydain[/i][/url].

[b]Apparent Age[/b]: 12-13

[b]Description[/b]: A "tweenage" boy from a world not unlike the Welsh Highlands, Mordred has pale skin, a shock of raven dark haira and green eyes that seem to glow with an baleful, eldritch light that suggests his [url=https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Cauldron_Born]Cauldron-Born[/url] origins. He wears dark clothing, with a metal pauldron on the left shoulder. Though his slight build would suggest a less capable fighter or guile hero, this boy prefers a brawl and punches well above his weight when using his Dark Arts ability to channel his inner darkness. Hailing from a pre-industrial society, Mordred is unfamiliar with technology and struggles to comprehend some aspects of worlds that are more technologically advanced or futuristic. In terms of the [i]Final Fantasy[/i] franchise, Mordred is an example of a [url=https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Knight_(job)]Dark Knight[/url].

[b]Personality[/b]: [url=https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KnightInSourArmor]Acerbic[/url], [url=https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GlacierWaif]cold[/url], and [url=https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AttackAttackAttack]unquestionably aggressive[/url], Mordred pitches himself wholly into the fight, as if eager to throw his life away. Oddly, this seeming disregard for himself is matched only by his apparent desire to protect others. Mordred listens far more than he speaks, though his rare comments are typically jerkass enough that few seek out conversation with him -- which seems to suit boy fine. In truth, Mordred's inability to reconcile with his own identity prompts him to keep others at arm's length, not desiring to be fake or build friendships on the lie of whoever he is (or isn't).

[b]Important Memories[/b]: 
[list][*][i]"I've been having these strange thoughts lately. Like, is any of this real? Or not? I close my eyes and I'm staring into a mirror. Only the face looking back isn't mine. But, somehow, I think that is was?[/i]"
[*][i]"I'm looking for [url=https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Taran]someone[/url]. Or, I [b]was[/b] looking for someone. Or... was it [url=https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Hen_Wen]a pig[/url]? That doesn't make any sense..."[/i]
[*][i]"In dreams, I see [url=https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Fair_Folk]a fae[/url] and a bard. They smile like... like we were friends. Or they were friends with the other me. The other me? This isn't making sense."[/i]
[*][i]"Sometimes I close my eyes and I see the bard. She's... pretty. I try to call out to her, but I don't know her name."[/i]
[*][i]"I think I remember something. Or, was it just another dream? There was a battle. I'm fighting... the Horned King? I don't think this ends well for me."[/i][/list]

[center][sub][i]"I don't know who I was, or if I was anyone at all. It's like a me that I only see in a dream. 
And, maybe, if I pretend that I'm him long enough... I'll become him."[/i][/sub][/center]
[b]Far-off Memories[/b]: Each of these correspond and expand on the quotations above of what Mordred only vaguely recalls.
[list][*]Mordred was Glyndwr, son of Elwyn, and hails from a hamlet known as Caer Maelog.
[*]Taran Pig-Keeper disappeared shortly before the Horned King re-emerged. Glyndwr set out on a quest to find Taran in the hopes that he could stop the black cauldron once more. 
[*]Glyndwr was joined on his quest by a fairy named Emrys (Merlin analog) and a young bard named Siobhan. As the Horned King and his army of Heartless spread darkness across Prydain, the trio decided to abandon the search for Taran and instead attempt to destroy the source of the Horned King's power (the black cauldron).
[*]Glyndwr had a crush on Siobhan.
[*]The trio failed against the Horned King, with Glyndwr's heart being consumed by the black cauldron.[/list]

[b]Backstory[/b]: Mordred's earliest memory is waking to find himself in the gutter of [url=https://kingdomhearts.fandom.com/wiki/Traverse_Town]Traverse Town[/url]. No memory of who he was, where he came from, or how he got there. The assumption most people had of him was that he was an orphan whose world had been consumed by darkness. He avoided people and people mostly avoided him. He might have stayed in obscurity if not for the appearance of Heartless, which the boy defeated by a startling display of darkness, leading to people calling him 'Mordred' in reference to a black knight. The Traverse Town incident brought the to the attention of the Cynics, who correctly deduced his being a Nobody. Within the Organization, Mordred acts as a heavy -- providing forceful backup for missions and eagerly pitching himself against Heartless. Seemingly content to go from mission to mission, avoiding dreams or recollection by minimizing downtime and volunteer for the next opportunity to go off-world.

[b]Special Weapon[/b]: Shadowbringer, a large [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zweih%C3%A4nder]zweihander-style sword[/url] that is comically overlarge against Mordred's small frame. Forged of black steel, shadows and dark energies seem to infuse the weapon, causing it to flicker with violet and red light.

[b]Special Abilities[/b]: 
[list][*][b]Dark Arts[/b]: [i]The source of the boy's unnatural resolve. By attuning to the darkness both within him and around him, Mordred can transcend the limits of his child body, increasing his physical abilities.[/i].
[*][b]Edge of Darkness[/b]: [i]Mordred's Limit Break, infusing his sword with dark energies to unleash a flood of darkness on his opponent.[/i]
[*][b]Dark Corridor[/b]:  [i]Opens a portal to another location the user is familiar with. It takes some time to manifest - enough that this technique is ineffective in battle. Mortals cannot pass through a dark corridor more than once a day without falling ill.[/i][/list]
