Morgan Black

Morgan Black is the protagonist of the Act I in the campaign Blood Ice Steel in ''Age of Empires III. ''There, he worked as a leader of the Knights of St. John. He is voiced by James Landcaster.

In game, he behaves as a explorer. He can collect treasures, train elite native warriors (if the native upgrade is active) and build trading posts, but he can't build town centers. He is immortal; when he loses his HP, he will be unusable until he recovers some hitpoints and any unit comes to help him. He uses a sword skillfully and has a special attack called Oberhau, a circular deadly attack which can be used each two minutes. He also has a flagship called St. Elmo.

History
He is Scottish, a fact that he is proud of; and son of a village smith. He joined the Knights of St. John in an early age, and dedicated most time of his life in that order, being unmarried and lacking any familiar tie.

He, alongside Alain Magnan, defended Malta from the Ottoman armies, specially Sahin's. A time, by Alain's order, Morgan was defending a fortress from constant Ottoman attacks. He and his men could retain janissaries and spahies, but they had troubles when great bombards appeared, so he sent settlers to light a signal fire. Sahin sent some soldiers to stop the settlers, but failed. Then, Alain and his horsemen saw the signal fire and rode to the fortress. Alain scolded Morgan for not defending the fort, but Morgan told him about the bombards; so, Alain and his horsemen destroyed all the bombards. Sahin and most troops retired, but there were some Ottoman left in Malta.
