The families closely guarded secret is that Morgan, the patriarch, is a powerful defiler who houses other defilers on the family estate. Morgan is a member of Dead Snakes - a secret order. They pay homage to their leader in a basement chamber, at a pool of black dust, the physical remains of their first leader are worshipped. There he leads them to unknown ends, but as of late they are gathering unusual spell components from the tablelands and beyond.
Little is known about this wealthy patriarch as he lives like a recluse on his estate.
