A former researcher for Umbrella Chemical, Inc., Morpheus was used by Umbrella as one of the many scapegoats for the Spencer estate incident which occurred in 1998. Bitter and resentful, Morpheus distanced himself from Umbrella, sinking into madness with the idea of revenge in mind. To this end, Morpheus stole several "t" samples from Umbrella Europe's Paris laboratory as well as the new experimental tG-virus, intending to use them to hold the world for ransom.
After he and a group of colleagues managed to form a functional group of soldiers and leftover B.O.W.s, he hijacked the Umbrella-owned ocean cruiser, the Spencer Rain, from which he planned to launch t-virus warheads if his demands were not met. He was utterly obsessed with beauty and grace, his ultimate ambition being to create a beautiful and elegant world by destroying the cold and ugly world which exists today. Being a megalomaniac and highly narcissistic, Morpheus believed himself to be a portrait of perfect beauty and underwent plastic surgery to maintain his youthful appearance.
[edit] Tyrant T-092
Morpheus' plans hit a snag however when U.S. STRATCOM member Bruce McGivern managed to sneak about the Cruiser and sabotage his plans. Morpheus managed to personally hunt down and hold McGivern at gunpoint, despite the outbreak of the t-virus aboard the ship. However, due to the intervention by Fong ling, McGivern not only manages to escape, but Morpheus himself was left horribly injured. Desperate to make both McGivern and Ling pay, Morpheus injected himself with the tG virus, which mutated him into a new form of Tyrant, the T-092 model, able to self-generate electricity, becoming a highly successful B.O.W unlike his predecessor the T-091, which lacked the same abilities. Like most tyrants his right arm mutated into a claw resembling the T-001's. His attacks include jolting out electricity bolts, rising to the air and creating an electrical field, jumping from long distances and then spiralling in mid-air, and continuously dashing at inhuman speed. He is also invunerable to most firearms, so a Charged Particle Rifle is seemingly the only weapon that can damage him.
Unlike previous instances of either the tyrant or Gene viruses however, such as William Birkin, Morpheus managed to maintain his mind after his transformation. Morpheus' mutation kept his shape overall humanoid while still endowing himself with the strength, speed, and ability of a Tyrant.
However, after engaging Ling and McGivern on several occasions, the mutagenic effects of the Gene element that make up the tG-virus began to run rampant in Morpheus' body, similar to William Birkin's transformations. To this end, Morpheus began to succumb to the virus, losing all rationality and thought in the process as his transformations became more and more monstrous, eventually becoming a massive blob of mutated flesh. In the end, McGivern caused so much damage to Morpheus that the tG virus' unstable regenerative capability caused him to literally explode from the mutations.
