Tony would no longer require this talisman sword when he began to wield [[Fidelacchius]]. This talisman tattoo would later be destroyed during a fight with a Nephandi, but would be reconstructed by Tony after becoming a Prime Adept. Towards the end of Tony's life, after a major tragedy befell the Chorister, Tony used his Prime magic to destroy this talisman as a sign of his loss of faith, and the pain of the loss of his friend, [[Jonathan Swak]]. | ||

Description
Tony Morgan stood about 5'8, and weighed about 185 pounds. Tony was clean shaven, with short, brown hair and dark brown eyes. Tony was quite proud to have been born and raised in Chicago. When he wasn't wearing his suits, Tony would often wore Chicago Cubs attire, showing his support for his favorite baseball team.
At one point, Tony Morgan had a talisman tattoo of an Angel on his back. When activated, wings would manifest on Tony's back, a ray of holy light would engulf Tony, and a sword would appear in his hand, leading to the nick name of 'Angel Boy' by some of his fellow cabal mates. Tony would no longer require this talisman sword when he began to wield Fidelacchius. This talisman tattoo would later be destroyed during a fight with a Nephandi, but would be reconstructed by Tony after becoming a Prime Adept. Towards the end of Tony's life, after a major tragedy befell the Chorister, Tony used his Prime magic to destroy this talisman as a sign of his loss of faith, and the pain of the loss of his friend, Jonathan Swak.
Along with the tattoo, Tony also had an upside down cross burned into his chest from his encounter with the Demon. In addition to that scar, he also had a Spade that was burned into the center of his chest, with 'sacrifice' inscribed underneath the brand, which occurred in a paradox realm. Tony's avatar expressed itself to him as an Angel.
Background
Tony Morgan grew up in a strong, Catholic family. He attended mass regularly at St. Michael's Cathedral, and attended Catholic school from kindergarten all the way through High School. At the age of 16, while he was receiving the sacrament of Confirmation in St. Michael's Cathedral, Tony awakened. Father Gabriel Summers became Tony's first mentor, and guided him into the tradition of the Celestial Chorus. Tony went on to a local college, and became an accountant. He would later own his own accounting firm.
Other Side of Hades
Eventually, Father Summers asked Tony to work with another local chantry in town that ran a night club, called the Other Side of Hades. He would soon become a cabal member of the Other Side of Hades, while still working closely with St. Michael's Cathedral. Tony used his background as an accountant to make sure that financially, everything ran smoothly for the night club. Ownership of the club, at least on paper, was eventually changed over to Tony Morgan for him to oversee.
It was during that time when working with the Other Side of Hades that Tony Morgan met a man named Michael Carpenter. Michael Carpenter, another member of the Celestial Chorus, became a Knight of the Cross, and would wield one of three holy swords, his being Amoracchius, a broad sword. Tony Morgan would soon follow in his footsteps, wielding the holy sword known as Fidelacchius following a raid on a Nephandi caul. The Knight of the Cross who originally wielded Fidelacchius had been captured by the Nephandi, and at the request of Persephone, the cabal went to rescue the Knight. Unfortunately, by the time the cabal reached the Knight, he had already been eviscerated by the Nephandi, and the sword had been captured. When the Chantry caught up with the Nephandi responsible and defeated him, the sword chose Tony as the new Knight of the Cross. Tony Morgan and Michael Carpenter would become close friends while serving as Knights of the Cross.
War and Wisdom
When the Other Side of Hades' night club was burned to the ground by Technocrats working with a corrupted spirit, the Hades Knights soon acquired a Chicago hotel originally named the Blackstone Hotel. Shortly after this, the name of the chantry was changed to War and Wisdom. Tony Morgan would become the Chief Finance Officer (CFO) for the War and Wisdom hotel/chantry. Although there were many somber and difficult times for Tony during this time, including almost leaving War and Wisdom due to a couple of his his cabal mates' deception over the demonic coins that they took possession of, there were also some very pleasant experiences as well.

Paradigm
Tony Morgan was a man of deep faith and conviction. Tony would call on his faith to perform miraculous acts (i.e., magic), in the name of God and the One.
