- Mortilus is a deity from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Mortilus the Death-bringer was a Transformer deity during the earliest period of Cybertron.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
The Death-bringer's origins were tied to Primus, the First Light when Cybertron was initially formed. In that time, the Light God split his essence into five avatars of his being. These included Mortilus, Solomus, Epistemus, Adaptus and Primus himself, who all formed a pantheon of deities called the Guiding Hand. Mortilus became the Death-bringer who represented the necessary corollary to life. These gods brought about the first Golden Age for Cybertronians, which was shattered when Mortilus brought division amongst them, as he wanted to wage war against the cosmos. His dissension saw Solomus entrapped in a crystal container, Epistemus as a brain module, Adaptus as a transformation cog and mortally wounded Primus himself. Mortilus' rebellion caused Cybertron to shudder and ripped asunder its first moon. Ultimately, he was destroyed and his death allowed Cybertronian sparks to burn for eternity as immortals. Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations
Mortilus' rebellion also spawned monsters to lay waste to Cybertron, including the beast known as Trypticon. In their own ways these creatures were nearly the equal of a Metrotitan, and Metroplex was required to subdue Trypticon. The Illusion of Control
While explaining to Springarm that he was skeptical of religion, Orion Pax listed Primus, Mortilus and Adaptus as examples of gods he didn't believe in. Chaos Theory Part 2
Notes
- Mortilus, the death-bringer, is not to be confused with Unicron, who represents chaos and seeks to undo Primus' order.
