Morgred is the king’s royal sorcerer in the twenty-seventh Goosebumps book A Night in Terror Tower, as well as its accompanying television adaptation. He is also mentioned in the second Give Yourself Goosebumps Special Edition book, Return to Terror Tower.

History[]

Centuries ago, Morgred was the king’s royal sorcerer of the royal family in the kingdom of York. After the king's elder brother murdered the king and queen and usurped the throne, he had his niece and nephew, Susannah and Edward locked in a room atop Terror Tower, with the intention of executing the two of them. Before they were to be executed by The Lord High Executioner, Morgred cast a spell to have Edward and Susannah travel in time, as well as erase their memories. However, The Lord High Executioner also found a way to travel through time to find Sue and Eddie, intending on finishing his job. As Sue and Eddie dealt with the executioner, they managed to travel back to medieval times, only to wind up captured once more.

After reuniting with Morgred, he tries to cast the spell once more, but it no longer works. Sue and Eddie try to run, but Morgred freezes them in place as the executioner arrives. But before the executioner can finish the kids off, Eddie uses the magic stones he stole from the executioner to return to the present. As the kids are about to leave the tower, they're greeted by Morgred, who traveled to the present with them. He changes his name to "Mr. Morgan" and becomes Sue and Eddie's adopted father. In Return to Terror Tower, it is revealed that he later became a university history professor.

Physical appearance[]

Morgred is described as having long white hair and a long white beard that ends in a point. He wears a purple robe that matches his purple eyes.
