Biographical Information

Professor Arthur (Art) Mordecai was once a name spoken with admiration in the halls of academia — a prodigy, a visionary, a mind unshackled by conventional thought. He and Nails were kindred spirits in their brief time together at university, bound by a mutual obsession with the hidden threads of history. Together, they unraveled cryptic riddles and pursued relics lost to time, two sides of the same coin.

But ambition is a treacherous compass, and where Nails sought truth, Mordecai craved power. Something changed deep within the catacombs of their final shared expedition. Some say Professor Mordecai gazed too long into an artifact not meant for mortal hands, others claim he simply saw the limitations of morality and chose to break free. Whatever the truth, when Nails emerged from the ruins, he did so alone — his friend now his greatest adversary.

Brilliant beyond measure, Professor Mordecai is a master of alchemical sciences, cryptographic systems, and technologies that teeter on the edge of the impossible. His laboratory at Insanity Industries, the company he founded and runs alone — a shadowed sanctum of glowing vials, arcane equations, and half-finished inventions — is both a temple to his genius and a monument to his madness. His coat, lined with intricate circuitry and symbols pulsing with esoteric energy, is a testament to the fusion of logic and mysticism that fuels his work.

No longer content with uncovering history, Mordecai now seeks to rewrite it. He manipulates treasure hunters, deciphers ancient weaponry, and bends lost knowledge to his will. To him, Nails is not just an obstacle, but an old friend clinging to an outdated sense of honor — one he is determined to dismantle.
