According to a book in [[MediEvil (PS4)|the remake]], Morten is described as being rather happy when Dan had died, as it gave him a new home. He is mostly unbothered by Dan coming back to life and is willing to help him, but mostly so Dan can go back to his eternal rest. | According to a book in [[MediEvil (PS4)|the remake]], Morten is described as being rather happy when Dan had died, as it gave him a new home.
