Mortanius is a video game character in the Legacy of Kain
series. In Blood Omen, he was voiced by Tony Jay. In Legacy of Kain: Defiance, he was voiced by Alastair Duncan.

Mortanius was born long before the start of the first game. He was selected by fate to become the Guardian of the Pillar of Death. In that era, the Pillars were still under vampire control and the vampire guardians took to turning new Pillar guardian into vampires before they could take up their charge.

Mortanius, and fellow new guardian Moebius, rose up against the vampire guardians, killing them and taking the new human guardians under their protection. As the centuries passed, Mortanius became a powerful Necromancer and fulfilled his duties as Guardian of the Pillar of Death loyally. At the end of the Sarafan's crusade, Mortanius oversaw the punishment of Malek, tearing his soul from his body and fusing it to his armor without technically killing him.

As history drew closer to Kain's birth, Mortanius' life changed. Hash'ak'gik started periodically possessing his body and mind, making him do terrible things, including murdering Ariel, the Balance Guardian. Around this time, Mortanius learned the ancient vampires' prophecies. He realized that the Pillars were holding back the Hylden and they had orchestrated Ariel's murder to bring them down.

Mortanius implemented one last plan to bring order to Nosgoth. He arranged for the assassination of Kain and his rebirth as a vampire, in the hopes of returning the Pillars to their rightful masters. Mortanius was the final guardian killed on Kain's journey.
