Mortegro was a mage from Moonshade in Ultima VII Part Two. Mortegro was classified as a "Necromage", one that specializes in death and the related spells, as opposed to a "Necromancer", who specializes in causing and controlling death. This difference was underscored greatly by his involvement in bringing a necromancer known as Vasculio to justice after he had been found to have been participating in forbidden rituals and experiments, involving torture and desecration. It was later revealed that Vasculio survived his execution at the hands of the Council of Mages, and bore a great hatred for Mortegro in his dwelling in the ruins of the Skullcrusher Mountains.
